The football quiz you play like a match

FootiQX is a football quiz app for mobile, in English, published by 2M IT. It offers over 5,300 verified questions across 20 categories, 9 game modes (Solo, Daily Challenge, 1v1 live matches, friends’ tournaments…) and a monthly world championship ranked by rating.

Yes. FootiQX is free to download and free to play, with no subscription. Games use up energy: every day (Paris time), your daily allowance is reset to 10 ⚡; your daily allowance covers five ranked matches. Optional in-app purchases let you buy gem packs (the in-game currency) or remove full-screen ads (the “No ads” option), but you never need them and they never buy a win: you can also earn gems by playing (missions, the daily gift, achievements…).

FootiQX is coming soon to Google Play (Android 7.0 and above) and the App Store (iPhone on iOS 15 and above). To be notified when it’s out, email us at contact@footiqx.com.

No: tap “Play now” and you start playing straight away with a guest account, no email address needed. It’s a real account: progress, leaderboards (under your guest username), friends and purchases. So you don’t lose it if you change phones, secure it whenever you like with an email address, Google or Apple (in My account), or keep your recovery code. You can delete your account at any time from the app (see Delete my account).

The bank contains 5,370 questions (1,434 easy, 2,076 medium, 1,860 hard), spread across 20 categories and 24 competitions: the World Cup, the Champions League, Ligue 1, the Premier League, the Africa Cup of Nations, women’s football, laws and refereeing… The full breakdown is on the Football quiz page.

Yes. Every question has been reviewed by an independent fact-checker and then audited a second time; duplicates have been removed. Every question has a single right answer, 5 plausible wrong answers and 3 progressive hints. Facts that may change are dated. And if you spot a mistake, you can report the question from the results screen.

In FootiQX, add your friends by username or friend code (8 characters), then tap “Challenge” when they’re online: they’ve got 60 seconds to accept, and you play a Live Match or a Time Trial. You can also set up a tournament for 4 or 8 players and compare your scores on the Daily Challenge. Matches between friends don’t count towards the league.

In a ranked match, two players face off in real time over 10 shared questions, in two halves of 5 questions: each question appears at the same moment for both, with the same options, for 10 seconds. Every right answer is a goal. The result (win, draw or defeat) moves your rating in the world championship. If nobody is available live, FootiQX automatically finds you a real player who will play the same questions later (see the next question). Between friends, the friendly keeps its original format: two 45-second halves and extra time.

There is a single, worldwide championship, with one season per calendar month (Paris time). Players are ranked by rating (Glicko method): it goes up when you win and down when you lose, taking your opponent’s level into account. After 10 placement matches, you get your world rank. All the details are on the League page.

Yes, in moderation: at most one full-screen ad every three finished games, across all game modes, when you leave the results screen (never after your first game), never during a question, with a minimum delay between two and a daily cap. Optional videos also let you regain energy. Ads are always non-personalised and the app does not ask for tracking permission. In Europe, a consent message lets you make your choices. Only the “No ads” option (an in-app purchase, or an entitlement granted by support) removes full-screen ads: the welcome pack, gems and energy do not.

The timer is kept by the server, questions are sent one at a time and the right answer is never sent before you answer. The order of the answers is unpredictable, answers only become active after a reading time, XP gains are capped per day and the same two players can play at most 3 ranked matches in 24 hours, at least 5 minutes apart.
