What is Kickoff Trivia?
Kickoff Trivia is a football true-or-false quiz played by swiping cards against a twelve-second timer. Each card presents a statement, often shown on a credited photo from Wikimedia Commons, and you decide whether it is true. The home screen offers a daily challenge and a grid of themes: live results, player photos, global championships, European club competitions, domestic clubs, records, transfers, national teams, and stadiums. The site is fan-made and not affiliated with any federation, league, or organizer.
How to play Kickoff Trivia
- Open 1kick.app and tap KICK OFF for the daily challenge, or choose a theme from the grid.
- Read the statement and its photo credit on each card.
- Swipe right for true, left for false, or tap ✓ / ✕ under the card.
- Answer before the twelve-second countdown expires. The game beeps during the last four seconds.
- Complete all ten cards. The star target is shown before the first card ("Get 7/10 right for ★★").
Scoring and feedback
Every correct card adds points and extends your streak. A timeout costs one point. After ten cards, the score earns three stars for 9-10 correct, two stars for 7-8, and one star for 5-6. The top banner tracks progress (1 / 10), countdown, current streak, and score, with ten progress dashes under the theme title.
Available themes
The grid divides football knowledge into distinct categories, each marked with a level (LV 1) and three stars to fill:
- Kick Off: today’s daily challenge and the live results that follow.
- Live Results: statements about matches that have just finished.
- Guess the Player: decide whether a statement about the player in a photo is true or false.
- Global Championships: the history of major international championships.
- European Club Champions: European cup competitions.
- Club Trivia: domestic leagues and lineups.
- True or False: questions from across the other categories.
- Football Records: goalscorers, records, and firsts.
- Transfer Market: transfers.
- National Teams: national teams, flags, and qualifications.
- Stadium Challenge: stadiums, capacities, and host cities.
Why the twelve-second clock matters
Football quizzes are usually static multiple-choice tests. Kickoff Trivia turns it into a swipe-card format with a twelve-second clock, which changes the nature of the exercise: you are no longer searching for the correct answer, you decide whether a sentence sounds right. The Live Results theme pushes that logic to the limit by making statements from matches that have just finished, so the game cannot be memorized. Each card carries its credited photo and theme, and a ten-card round fits into two minutes.
Tips for a stronger performance
Twelve seconds per card, with beeps in the last four, tunes the game for instinct. Rereading a statement three times costs more than getting it wrong.
Live Results is the most perishable theme in the grid. Its statements are drawn from matches that have just finished, so historical knowledge is useless there. Play it when you have followed the week.
The star target is shown before the first card. You know from the start which milestone the round is aiming for.
Each theme shows a level and three stars to fill. The grid reads like a progression list, not a simple menu.
Common questions
Do I need to create an account or install anything?
No. The site states plainly: "No download, no account: just swipe right for true and left for false on every card."
How much time do I have to answer a card?
Twelve seconds. The countdown ring is shown at the top right of the card, and the game beeps during the last four seconds.
Is the game affiliated with a federation or organizer?
No. The footer confirms: "Kickoff Trivia is an independent fan-made trivia game. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any international or national football governing body, sports federation, club, league, federation, or tournament organizer." The photos come from Wikimedia Commons and are credited on each card.
