Touchline — the home of daily football puzzles, and Gaffer. Football brain? Put it to the test. Touchline is a beautifully simple collection of football games: a fresh set of daily puzzles every morning, plus Gaffer — our endless headline game you can play any time. GAFFER — THE HEADLINE GAME Build a five-a-side from football's biggest names, past and present — Messi, Ronaldo, Haaland, Zidane, and hundreds more. Players are dealt one at a time. Rank each into a slot the moment they appear, knowing your top pick scores 5× and your last just 1×. Then watch a full 38-game season play out: goals fly in, stars pick up injuries, hotheads get sent off. Score the most and climb the leaderboard. No two seasons are the same — just one more go. EVERY DAY, THREE PUZZLES Mystery Man — name the hidden player in as few guesses as you can. Clue-free solves earn gold. Higher / Lower — higher or lower on one stat, fifteen in a row. One slip ends it. Connections — sort sixteen names into four hidden groups. Four mistakes and you're out. WHY YOU'LL KEEP COMING BACK Global & friends leaderboards — see how you rank on every game. Add friends with a code and compare scores head-to-head. Track your streaks, win rate and best runs. A new set drops daily, the same for everyone — Gaffer never sleeps.
