Daily Walkoff

About Daily Walkoff

Daily Walkoff is a baseball trivia game made by SoDo Games in Seattle. Each day it posts thirty puzzles, one for each MLB team, so a Mariners fan and a Tigers fan can each play the team they know best, and anyone who wants more can work through the whole league.

A puzzle is a board of that team's players and four trivia columns, for example a season with 30 or more home runs, 20 or more steals, 30 or more saves or 20 or more wins for the club. You select two players to swap their places, and when the board looks right you swing to check it. The game tells you how many players in each column are correct, from none to all three. A fully correct column earns a base hit, and a wrong swing costs an out. Some players are planted to mislead: they fit a column's stat but are not part of the solution. Solve all four columns before your third out and you walk off the game.

A daily streak counts the days you win at least one of that day's puzzles, and archive games do not affect it. Every other day is a theme day, and Pro mode raises the difficulty for regular players. It suits fans who follow one team's history closely, and it rewards knowing old seasons as much as the current roster.

How to play Daily Walkoff

1. Pick an MLB team; each one has its own puzzle for the day.
2. Read the four trivia columns and the players placed under them.
3. Select two players to swap their places, moving each one toward the column you think they belong in.
4. Press Swing to check the board; the game shows how many players in each column are correct.
5. A solved column earns a base hit and a miss costs an out; solve all four columns before three outs to walk off the game.
6. Try another team, or play past days from the archive.

Tips

• Start with the column you are most sure of; locking it in narrows the swaps left for the others.
• Watch for the decoy: a player can fit a column's stat and still be in the wrong place for the solution.
• Pitching columns such as saves and wins usually split cleanly from hitting columns, so sort pitchers from hitters first.
• Play your own team first while you are fresh, then try rivals for a harder day.
