Soccer Face-Off

One book. Two players. Nobody wins by accident.

Hold the book so your opponent can't see it. Read the question out loud. They answer. Then swap over.

Here's the part that makes it work: the younger kid can actually win.

Most quiz books are impossible to play across an age gap. The older child wins every time, the younger one stops wanting to play, and the book ends up in a drawer inside a week.

Soccer Face-Off fixes that. Each player picks a level before the round starts - Rookie, Pro, or Legend - and the younger player gets more power-ups than the older one. No arguing about a handicap. No grown-up losing on purpose, which children spot instantly and resent.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• 500 questions across 10 rounds, every answer printed right beside the question so the asker never flips to the back


• Weird & Wild - the team who scored an own goal on purpose, and the stolen trophy found by a dog


• Record Breakers - the 149-0 match, and the goal scored after two seconds


• The Women's Game - including the fifty-year ban nobody talks about


• Legends & Rising Stars, Around the World, Rules & Referees, Between the Posts, Stadiums & Superfans


• Numbers & Science - why a free kick bends, how far a player runs, how fast a shot really travels


• A bonus section with diagrams that teach you to bend one yourself

BUILT FOR REAL FAMILIES

Large, easy-to-read type for reading aloud. Scorecards you can use again and again. No screens, no batteries, no app. Works in a car, at a table, or on a rainy afternoon - anywhere two people can look at each other.

An adult who knows nothing about soccer can still run the game. Every answer is printed on the page in bold.

Rules current as of the 2026/27 season. Every rule question checked against the official Laws of the Game, so you won't be teaching your kids something that changed two years ago.

TRY ONE NOW

In 1994, Barbados deliberately kicked the ball into their own goal. Why?
