Overview of the Interactive Feature
BBC Sport runs a daily interactive segment titled “Who am I?” that challenges participants to identify a footballer based on progressively revealed clues. Each edition presents a new player, and the objective is to guess the identity in the fewest attempts possible.
How the Game Works
When a participant submits an incorrect guess, a new clue is unlocked, narrowing the pool of possible players. Scoring is tied to the number of clues used: achieving the correct answer after three clues is described as a “good score,” while solving it after four or five clues is labeled “exceptional.” The format encourages quick deduction and rewards efficiency.
Key Contributor
The clues for each day’s quiz are prepared by Adam Millington, a contributor to BBC Sport. Millington’s role is to select the featured footballer and craft the sequence of hints that guide participants toward the solution.
Participant Guidance
Players are invited to engage with the quiz by submitting guesses and tracking their point totals. The platform suggests that “three is a good score, four or five points is exceptional,” implying a competitive element that motivates users to improve their deduction speed. The feature concludes each session with an invitation to explore additional quizzes.
