Football career path quiz: one career a day
Clubography · The game
His clubs are the clue. The order is the giveaway.
Clubography is a football career path quiz with one rule that changes everything: you get one footballer a day, and the earlier you name him, the more you score. His career's on the card, clubs hidden. The first few are free. After that, every club you peel costs points, and every wrong guess costs more. So the question isn't just "do I know him". It's "do I know him yet".

“Awesome daily game”
“We do a Daily challenge league on the site, good fun”
A real card from a past Journey, and it plays. If Manchester United then Juventus hasn't done it for you, reveal a club or two. Still stuck? The answer's on his own Journey page.
How a career path quiz works here
- The free clubs
- The first few cost nothing. That's your starting evidence.
- Peeling
- Every club after that costs points, and each one costs more than the last.
- Clues
- Position, honours and country, if you're stuck. They cost too. Country costs the most.
- Five guesses
- A wrong one costs points and the next costs more. Surname is enough.
- The result
- A row of blocks that shows how you did without showing who it was.
Not twenty careers in a list. One, properly.
You've probably done the other kind: a magazine page with a hundred career paths and the answers at the bottom, or a quiz sheet you race through in four minutes. Good fun. But nobody sends that to the group chat. Clubography gives you one career, a score, and a result you can send without naming him. Everyone gets the same player, so when a friend posts a green row and you posted a red one, that's the conversation sorted till lunch.
Transfer history as the puzzle
Some people call it a transfer history quiz, some say guess the player by career. Same thing. The clubs come in the order he actually joined them, with the years, the league games and the goals for each spell. Loans are marked. A career that goes Metz, Monaco, Arsenal is one puzzle. One that goes Crewe, Leicester, Birmingham is a very different one. The shape is the clue, and the shape is what you remember long after the stats have gone.
Who it's for
Anyone who remembers the odd loan spell, not just the trophy years. You don't need to know every league in Europe. Nearly every player has passed through English football at some point, but the rest of his career can be anywhere, and that's often where the giveaway is. If you've ever said "he played for them?" out loud, you'll be fine.
Questions people ask
How many clubs do I see for free?
The first few. Enough to start thinking, not enough to be sure. We tune the exact number against how people actually play, so it can move.
Can I play more than one a day?
The daily Journey is one a day, on purpose. Once you've finished it, the app has Extra Packs: twenty more careers, unlocked free by sharing your score, which you can then play whenever you like. There's a practice round when you first open it too.
Is it the same as the career path games on other sites?
Same idea, different pressure. Most career path quizzes show you the whole route and ask for a name. Here every club you look at costs you, so knowing him early is worth more than knowing him at all.
Where do the careers come from?
Public data, checked against a second source. Clubs, seasons, league appearances and goals. Men's senior football only, no youth or reserve spells.
Can I do yesterday's?
You can see every past answer on the Answers page, with the full career. Replaying old Journeys isn't a thing yet.
Does it work on a phone?
It's an app on iOS and Android, and that's where the daily game lives. On a laptop you can try a free practice round, then scan a code to get the app.
