A daily sports puzzle game.
Deepball
What is Deepball?
Deepball is a daily NFL trivia game built around seven questions, each with a 35-second timer. It leans into obscure league history and less-remembered facts, with answers described as “deep cuts” scoring higher. The game draws on NFL rosters going back to 1960, plus stats, schedules, awards, and biographical data from later decades.
How to play Deepball
Each day you get seven questions and 35 seconds to answer each one. Since deep cuts score higher, more obscure correct answers are worth more than obvious ones. Work through the questions before the timer runs out.
Tips & strategy
- Prioritize less famous names and niche details over well-known answers, since deep cuts score higher.
- Study historical team rosters, not just current players; the data goes back to 1960.
- Keep stats and schedules from 1999 onward in mind, as they are part of the question pool.
- Use knowledge of awards, head coaches, and player birthplaces—those categories come from the cited data sources.
- Don't spend too long second-guessing; 35 seconds is tight.
