How to Play
Career Path
A mystery player is shown only through their career team history. Guess who it is before you run out of guesses -- each wrong guess reveals another stop on their path.
Rules
- You start with part of the path already revealed; each wrong guess reveals one more stop.
- The player's most recent team is always revealed last, no matter how many stops there are.
- After 2 wrong guesses, a secondary clue appears (draft round/pick, or position for undrafted players).
- You always get at least 3 guesses, even if the whole path is revealed before then.
Tips
- Think about the shape of the path, not just individual teams -- a short path with one long stop reads very differently than several one-year stints.
- Once the secondary clue appears, cross-reference it against the teams already shown instead of guessing blind.
- The final (most recent) team is withheld the longest on purpose -- don't assume the path is over just because guesses are running low.
Common Mistakes
- Guessing a player who matches the position clue but whose team history doesn't actually line up with what's shown.
- Giving up before your guaranteed 3rd guess -- you're never cut off early.
- Fixating on the most recognizable team in the path and ignoring the others, when the answer is usually pinned down by the *combination* of stops.
