  2. Players keep popping out of the holes.
  3. Hit only the ones that fit, the moment you see them!

Where the questions come from

Every question and clue is generated from real records in the Derby Duel database. Real match results, squads and season statistics collected from the leagues and cups of 6 countries - no value is estimated, and nothing that is not in the source turns up in the game.

Tips for Whack-a-Star

  • The criterion stays the same for the whole match and is written on top. Read it once, then focus only on the faces.
  • Not tapping costs nothing; tapping a player who does not fit takes back what you earned. Letting an uncertain face go is the safest move.
  • Faces pop up fast and stay briefly. Hesitate on one you know fits and the point is gone.
