Games like Immaculate Grid: daily trivia grid puzzles

Immaculate Grid gives you nine squares, each needing a baseball player who fits both its row and its column. The same format now runs daily for almost any subject: other sports, films, Pokémon, countries and even French towns and Paris metro stations.

The games

Sports fans have the most choice. HoopGrids does it with NBA players, Puckdoku with NHL players in nine shots, and Dailyfoot with international footballers with three mistakes allowed. The Ball Grid adds a statistical twist for the Premier League, asking for a player who hit a stat for a club in a single season. Several multi-game sports sites, such as Basketball 5 and F1dle, include a grid among their daily puzzles.

Outside sport, Movie Grid and Cinematrix ask for films that match two clues, and PokeDoku and PokeGrid do the same for Pokémon, scoring you on how rare your picks are compared with other players. GeoGrid fills the board with countries, Villodoku with French towns and Métrodoku with Paris metro stations.

Most of these games share the same habits: one board a day for everyone, a limited number of guesses, and a rarity score that rewards an unusual correct answer over the obvious one. That makes them as much about depth of knowledge as about getting every square.

Start with HoopGrids or Puckdoku if you play for the sport, Movie Grid if films are your field, and PokeDoku if you grew up with Pokémon.

Questions

Are there grid games that are not about sport?

Movie Grid and Cinematrix use films, PokeDoku and PokeGrid use Pokémon, and GeoGrid uses countries.
