FAQ
Quick answers about rooms, Footballer Hunt, Football Quiz, scoring, Match Cards, and languages.
What is Footwio?
Footwio is a browser-based football game platform for private rooms. You can play Footballer Hunt, a footballer guessing game, or Football Quiz, a timed trivia mode.
How do multiplayer rooms work?
Create a room, copy the invite link, and share it. Friends join with the same room code, and the host controls when each round starts.
Can I play alone?
Yes. Choose Single mode on the start page to create a solo room with the same round settings and scoring flow.
What is Footballer Hunt?
Footballer Hunt is a football Wordle-style game. Search for a footballer, submit guesses, and compare league, club, nation, position, and age clues until you solve the target.
What is Football Quiz?
Football Quiz is a timed football trivia mode. Players answer the same question each round, and fast correct answers score more points.
What are Match Cards in Footballer Hunt?
Match Cards are once-per-match abilities. Yellow Card freezes a rival, Park the Bus shields you, Extra Time adds seconds, and VAR reveals one clue. Only one card can be used per round.
How is scoring calculated?
Scoring rewards correct answers, speed, and efficient play. Quiz points depend on correctness and response time. Footballer Hunt rewards solving, clue progress, time, and fewer penalties from hints.
Can I choose rounds and timers?
Yes. Room setup supports configurable round counts, timers, difficulty, and Hunt league pools before the match starts.
Can I share final standings?
Yes. After a match completes, Footwio creates a read-only result link with final standings that you can share with friends.
Which languages are supported?
English is the default language and Swedish is available. The full site and game UI can be switched by language parameter.
How often is player data updated?
The player database is designed around transfer-window refreshes. Data can be re-ingested when squads change or quality fixes are needed.
Do players need accounts?
No. Footwio uses room codes and local browser identity for quick private games without a full account signup flow.
