But For Who? / Your forfeit

Someone's got some explaining to do.

Pick a style and draw a prompt. A little football theatre for your mates, with no football expertise required.

Keep it friendly. Anyone can pass.

Good forfeits take seconds.
The stories last longer.

Choose your setting and a style, then draw a prompt. Each result is removed from the round, so the same dare won’t come up again until you start fresh. Changing filters keeps your round history.

Agree when your group will draw: a goal, a missed prediction or the final whistle. This website doesn’t listen to the match or receive live scores. You decide when to press the button.

Pub-friendly prompts work seated, with no props or need to involve strangers. Keep the volume considerate. Anyone can skip a prompt, and points are always an alternative. For adults aged 18 and over.
