How to play Roster Riddle
Roster Riddle is a free daily sports trivia game. Every day at midnight Eastern there are seven new pro athletes to identify, and everyone at the same level gets the same seven.
The seven daily players
- All sports (100 points): the player could be from any sport, so you name the sport first.
- Basketball, Football, Hockey, Baseball, Soccer and Tennis (10 points each): you know the sport, so you go straight to the details.
The questions
| Sport | Questions | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Basketball, football, hockey, baseball | Team, then position | 6 + 4 |
| Soccer | League, team, then position (forward, midfield, defender or goalie) | 3 + 4 + 3 |
| Tennis | Nationality | 10 |
| All sports | Sport, then the team (or nationality for tennis) | 40 + 60 |
Every question scores on its own. A wrong answer shows you the right one and moves you on, so you can still pick up points on the rest. When a question asks you to select every team a player has been on, each right team earns its share of the points and each wrong pick takes one share away.
Stuck? A 50/50 removes two wrong answers for 1 point (10 in All sports).
Levels
| Level | Players | Points | To move up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | Today's stars on current rosters | ×1 | 2,500 points in a month |
| Pro | Stars and regulars, from an era you pick each day | ×2 | 5,000 points in a month |
| Expert | Every player in the database, from an era you pick each day | ×3 | The top level |
Reach the goal in a calendar month and you move up at the start of the next one. You keep a level once you've earned it, and you can choose to play a lower one on any day before you start. The eras are Current, All-time, Since 2000 and Before 2000; in past eras you select every team the player was on.
