COLLEGE ROOTS
HOW TO PLAY
01
HOW IT WORKS
We give you a pro athlete. You place a pin where you think they went to college. The closer your pin, the more points you earn. Zoom in and be precise — every mile counts.
02
10 OR 15 ROUNDS PER GAME
Each game is 10 or 15 rounds — your choice. Pick Football or Basketball — one sport per game. Your CRS is calculated at the end.
03
CRS (COLLEGE ROOTS SCORE)
Your CRS is how you compete against friends. It's your score out of 1000 based on accuracy — but difficulty matters too. Nailing an easy player within 25 miles earns fewer CR points than the same perfect guess on a harder player.
04
SKILL-BASED MATCHMAKING
The game adapts to you. The first players in a round are recognizable names. As you climb, you'll get players that were less well known for their college careers — and the more points up for grabs.
05
HINTS
Stuck? Click the hint button to see a more well-known player from the same school — but your score gets halved.
