World Cup prediction game rules & formats
A World Cup prediction game turns the tournament into a month-long contest for your group. Instead of just watching, everyone predicts what happens - and the leaderboard settles the arguments.
The group stage: predict the outcome of each match (or the exact scoreline, if you want it spicier). Correct results score points; nail the scoreline and you score more.
The knockout bracket: call who advances round by round - Round of 32 through to the final. Picking the eventual champion early is the high-risk, high-reward play. You can predict round by round as the bracket fills in, so a bad group-stage run isn't the end of your tournament.
Scoring is yours to set: flat points per correct result, bonus for exact scores, escalating points for later rounds so the final matters most. We auto-grade every fixture the moment it's official - no one's updating a spreadsheet at midnight.
The same setup works for the Euros, the Copa América, or any tournament - so once your group's in, you're set for every big summer.

FAQ
How does a World Cup prediction game work?+
Everyone in your group predicts the results of the tournament - the group matches and the knockout bracket. Correct calls earn points, we grade every result automatically, and a live leaderboard tracks who's on top.
How is it scored?+
You choose. The default is flat points for each correct result, but you can add a bonus for exact scorelines and escalate points for later rounds so the final carries the most weight.
Do we predict the bracket too?+
Yes. Alongside the group games, players call the knockout bracket round by round - all the way to the champion. You can update your picks as the bracket fills in.
Is it free?+
Yes. It's free for groups up to 25 players, with no app to download and no login required to join - just a shared link.
When do picks lock?+
Each prediction locks automatically when that match kicks off, so no one can pick with the benefit of hindsight.
Can I use it for the Euros or other tournaments?+
Absolutely. The same format works for the Euros, the Copa América, the Champions League or any tournament - set it up the same way.
