You get one mystery player a day, from any era. We tell you the sport. Guess any player from that sport and the tiles show how close you are. They compare whole careers, not just this season: position, teams, debut decade, college and honors.

• Green is a match. Yellow is close. Arrows point higher or lower.
• You get 8 guesses to crack it.
• Stuck? Burn a clue for a hint and keep the run alive.

One mystery a day

A new player drops at midnight your time. Everybody gets the same one, so you can compare in the group chat. Guess the Player is an Arcade Card game. A free RunThe.GG account gets one play of it, once ever. The Daily Crossword, Sportegories, Alma Mater and Career Path are free every day, no account needed. The Card opens all twelve with no limit, plus the Archive of every past day. Five of the games also have NBA, NFL and MLB editions.

Tips

• A clue doesn’t cost you a guess. A free account gets 1 per play, so don’t still be sitting on it at guess 7.
• Open with a star who played for a bunch of teams. The team tile checks every club at once, so one name can rule out five.
• Go after the decade arrow before the position tile. An arrow tells you which way to go. A color just tells you hit or miss.
