How do you play 3 2 1?

First to 2 rounds · pick 8 s · answer 15 s

Eight teams appear in front of you and you pick one; your rival picks one of their own eight. When both teams are revealed, you pick a player who played for BOTH; you get one pick per round and the name you choose is your answer. The first to pick a correct player takes the round. If nobody gets it, the round does not count and you pick again. In one round out of four, one side picks a national team.

Step by step

  1. Pick one of eight teams.
  2. Your rival picks a team too.
  3. First to name a player who played for both takes the round!

How do you win 3 2 1?

Matchmaking decides which game you play; both players get the same one.

  • You get one pick per round: do not tap a name you are not sure of, your rival may miss too.
  • In a national team round, think of that country's best known player at your club.
