About Pigskin5
Pigskin5 is a free daily NFL trivia game: 5 questions, 15 seconds each, and a daily leaderboard that rewards both accuracy and speed. New quiz every day. No account needed. Just football.
The Story Behind It
I'm Thomas Allen. I'm a lifelong NFL fan and web developer based in the US. I've been obsessed with football for as long as I can remember. As a recent Computer Science Grad, I wanted to keep practicing and testing my skills, so I made a fun little trivia game for my friends.
I write every question myself, I push updates in my spare time, and I play the quiz every single day, sometimes embarrassingly early in the morning. The goal has always been to build the NFL trivia game I wished already existed: fast, fair, competitive, and genuinely fun for fans who actually know their football.
You can find me online as Twillyallen. If you've got feedback, a correction, or just want to talk football, I genuinely want to hear from you... Reach me at pigskin5game@gmail.com or through the Contact page.
How Pigskin5 Works
Every day at midnight, a new quiz goes live. Every player gets the same five questions. You've got 15 seconds per question, and your score is based on both how many you get right and how fast you answer. Get them all right and you're in the running for the top of the leaderboard. Miss one and, well, there's always tomorrow.
- One quiz per day. Same for everyone, keeps the leaderboard fair.
- 5 questions, each with a 15-second timer.
- Points reward speed + accuracy. Quick correct answers score higher.
- Leaderboard is optional. Play just for yourself if you prefer.
- No login required. Open the site and start playing instantly.
Question Topics
Questions rotate across the full spectrum of NFL knowledge:
- NFL History: iconic moments, legendary players, records, and throwbacks
- Current Season: recent games, storylines, and relevant stats
- Player Knowledge: careers, team changes, awards, and memorable plays
- Fun Facts: surprising trivia and weird-but-true NFL details
Streak Tracking
Pigskin5 tracks two streaks for you locally in your browser. No account needed:
- Daily Streak: how many days in a row you've played
- Touchdown Streak: how many perfect 5/5 games in a row you've scored
Streaks are stored in your browser's local storage, so they stay private and don't require any kind of sign-in.
Accuracy & Quality
I take getting the answers right seriously. Every question is researched before it goes live, and if a mistake slips through... which it happens... I want to fix it fast. If you spot something wrong, please let me know. Corrections are always welcome.

Does Pigskin5 collect my personal data?
Pigskin5 doesn't require accounts. Your streaks and results are stored locally in your browser and never sent anywhere. If you choose to submit a leaderboard score, only your display name, score, and answer timing are recorded. Read the full Privacy Policy for details.
Is Pigskin5 affiliated with the NFL?
No. Pigskin5 is an independent, fan-made project. It is not endorsed by or affiliated with the NFL, any NFL team, or any official football organization. All NFL-related trademarks and intellectual property belong to their respective owners.
How is the leaderboard scored?
Points are awarded for correct answers, with faster answers earning more points. If two players get the same number correct, speed acts as the tiebreaker. The leaderboard resets daily.
