There's one mystery NFL player each day, and you have eight guesses to find them. Every guess builds a row in your scouting report comparing seven attributes against the mystery player: debut era, position, draft position, college, height and weight, franchise overlap, and Pro Bowl selections. A ✅ means an exact match, 🟡 means close (a nearby draft slot, an inch or a few pounds, a couple of Pro Bowls, or a related position), and the arrows tell you whether the mystery player's number is higher or lower than your guess. Teams use their own scale — 🟢 for two-plus shared franchises or an identical career map, 🟡 for one shared stop, ⚪ for no overlap. Solve it early for a cleaner grid; the emoji receipt is made for the group chat.
Scouting Report is the deduction game for fans who think in transactions and draft boards. Every attribute is compared from verified career data — the same player database behind the rest of sacked.gg — and the answer pool is limited to recognizable NFL names, so you'll never lose to a practice-squad mystery man. Answers never repeat, and the weekday sets the difficulty: the week opens and closes with stars, midweek goes to quality starters, and Saturday digs deep. Eight guesses is enough to triangulate almost anyone if you read the arrows right.
What do the arrows mean?
The mystery player's number is higher (⬆️) or lower (⬇️) than your guess's for that column — debut year, draft pick number, height, weight, or Pro Bowl selections. 🟡 means you're close.
How does the Teams column work?
It counts franchises both players appeared for: 🟢 two or more shared (or an identical set), 🟡 exactly one, ⚪ none. Relocated teams count as their modern franchise.
Can the mystery player be someone obscure?
No — answers come from the same recognizable-player pool as the other games, and the weekday difficulty rotation means the hardest answers only show up on weekends.
Do answers ever repeat?
Never. Every day's mystery player is new for the lifetime of the game.
