How to Play Who Am I? Teammate Edition
What Is Who Am I? Teammate Edition?
Who Am I? Teammate Edition is a daily football guessing game on TopBins.Games that challenges you to identify a mystery footballer based solely on the teammates they have played with throughout their career. Each day features a new mystery player, and clues are revealed one at a time — with each clue being a teammate of the hidden footballer. The fewer clues you need to correctly guess the mystery player, the higher your score. It is a game that rewards deep football knowledge, particularly your awareness of squad compositions, transfer histories, and the overlapping careers of players across different clubs and national teams. Whether the mystery player is a modern Premier League star or a well-travelled veteran who turned out for several clubs across Europe, your ability to piece together career timelines from teammate connections is what will set you apart.
Gameplay Overview
Each day when you load Who Am I? Teammate Edition, you are presented with a blank slate and the promise of a mystery footballer waiting to be identified. You begin by revealing the first clue, which shows you the name of one teammate. From that single piece of information, you can either make a guess or reveal another clue. Each subsequent clue reveals an additional teammate, gradually painting a clearer picture of who the mystery player might be. The teammates shown may come from different clubs or national teams the mystery player has been part of, so you need to think broadly about where their career has taken them. You can make a guess at any point after the first clue, and the game tracks how many clues you needed to arrive at the correct answer. The puzzle is identical for every player worldwide each day, making it a perfect topic for friendly competition and social media sharing among the TopBins.Games community.
How Clues Work
The clue system in Who Am I? Teammate Edition is designed to start difficult and gradually become easier. The first teammate revealed might be someone who shared the pitch with the mystery player at a less obvious club or during an international fixture, making the initial guess extremely challenging. As more clues are revealed, the teammates become progressively more telling — later clues might include high-profile players who were part of famous squads, making the mystery player's identity increasingly apparent. The key is recognising which clubs and squads feature the teammates being shown. If the first clue is a Brazilian defender and the second is a Spanish midfielder, you need to think about which teams had both of those players on their roster simultaneously. The intersection of squads is where the answer lies. Pay attention to the era as well — a teammate from 2005 points to a different generation than one from 2020, and the mystery player's career must span the period that connects all the revealed teammates.
- Clues are revealed one at a time, each showing a teammate of the mystery player
- Early clues tend to be more obscure and challenging
- Later clues become more recognisable, making the puzzle progressively easier
- Teammates may come from club sides or international teams
- The intersection of squads across all revealed clues points to the answer
Scoring System
Your score in Who Am I? Teammate Edition is determined entirely by how many clues you need before correctly identifying the mystery footballer. Guessing correctly after just one clue is the ultimate achievement and earns you the maximum score — it demonstrates either exceptional football knowledge or a very educated guess. Each additional clue you reveal before guessing reduces your score, so there is a constant tension between wanting more information and wanting to lock in your answer early. The scoring system encourages boldness balanced with knowledge. Making a wrong guess does not end the game, but it does affect your overall performance record, so wild guessing is discouraged. The best strategy is to wait until you are reasonably confident before submitting your answer, while still trying to do so with as few clues as possible. Your daily scores are tracked over time, allowing you to see your improvement as your knowledge of footballers' career histories deepens with regular play.
- Fewer clues used means a higher score
- One-clue correct guesses earn the maximum possible score
- Each additional clue revealed lowers your potential score
- Incorrect guesses are tracked and affect your record
- Daily scores are saved so you can monitor your improvement over time
Tips and Strategy
To excel at Who Am I? Teammate Edition, you need to develop a mental map of football squads across multiple seasons and leagues. Start by paying close attention to the first clue. Even if you do not immediately recognise the teammate, note their nationality and the clubs they are known for — this instantly narrows the pool of possible mystery players. As more clues appear, look for common threads. If two teammates both played for the same club during the same period, the mystery player almost certainly was at that club too. International teammates are particularly useful because they confirm the mystery player's nationality, which can dramatically reduce the number of candidates. Keep in mind that well-travelled players who moved between several major clubs will generate more diverse teammate lists, while one-club loyalists will have teammates clustered from a single squad. Practising regularly is the best way to improve, as each day's puzzle teaches you something new about footballer career paths and squad compositions that will help you in future puzzles. Discussing the daily puzzle with fellow football fans is also a great way to expand your knowledge and pick up on connections you might have missed.
- Note the nationality and known clubs of each revealed teammate
- Look for overlapping clubs and time periods across multiple clues
- Use international teammates to determine the mystery player's nationality
- Consider whether the teammate list suggests a well-travelled or one-club player
- Play daily to build your knowledge of squad compositions across eras
- Discuss puzzles with friends to learn connections you might have overlooked
