What is Immaculate Grid?
Immaculate Grid is a daily sports trivia game from Sports Reference, the statistics website. The board is a three-by-three grid. Each row and each column has a label, usually a team, an award or a career milestone, and for each square you have to name a player who fits both its row and its column, such as someone who played for two particular clubs. You have nine guesses for nine squares, and every player can be used only once. Once you finish, the game shows how rare your answers were compared with everyone else's, so naming an obscure player who fits is a badge of honour. The original grid is about American baseball, and there are now versions for basketball, American football, hockey and football (soccer) as well. It suits sports fans who like testing their memory of careers and teams, and it's a fun one to compare with friends who follow the same sport.
