Club clues and impostor pacing

Club + era only

Everyone has seen their role. Clues should sound like real football club talk: league, era, style, derby context, or trophy profile, but never the club name.

Keep rounds under five minutes: one clue each, short debate, then a fast vote. Great for watch parties, halftime breaks, and trips.

Clue playbook (do not reveal the club name)

Balanced

Easy clue styles

  • League + tier: "top-flight giant", "mid-table battler"
  • Era: "dominant in the 2010s", "historic 90s run"
  • Style: "high press", "low block and counters"
  • Identity: "academy pipeline", "big transfer window"

Hard clue styles

  • Legacy: "continental nights", "domestic cup machine"
  • Rivalry context: "heated city derby", "regional feud"
  • Crowd profile: "intense home atmosphere"
  • Project phase: "rebuild cycle", "title push mode"

Football Teams FAQ

FAQ

Is this mode free to play?

Yes. It runs in your browser with no download or account required.

How are clubs picked each round?

The game draws from the football teams pack without repeats until the pool reshuffles.

Do imposters get any hint?

Optional. Enable Imposter hint if you want imposters to see a subtle clue instead of a blank screen.

Can we switch back to classic word categories?

Yes. Use the classic mode links to return to the mixed-category generator.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes. It is built for phones first and also works on tablets and desktop.

What if someone says the club name directly?

Treat it as a misplay: replay the round or give imposters an extra hint next round.
