🎓 College Games Hub

All 7 of them in one place. 5 reset every day, and every one is free with no sign-up. College football and college basketball, from a two minute grid to a whole dynasty.

🏟️ Run a program

The long ones. You take a real school and live with the consequences for as many seasons as you last. Recruits and transfers are generated rather than real teenagers, which is deliberate: no invented player on this site is allowed to carry a real person's name.

⏱️ Five minute college puzzles

Grids, program guessers and stat calls. Short enough for a queue, and the daily ones give everybody the same board so you can argue about it afterwards.

What is here, and how it splits up

Four of these take a couple of minutes and two of them will eat an evening. /college-grid wants a football player who fits a row and a column at once, Alabama plus Heisman winner, that sort of thing, so the deep bench beats the obvious name. /guess-the-college and /guess-cbb-team both drip clues out one at a time and your score drops as they arrive, but they are not asking the same thing: the college one is about the school itself, the feel of a place and its history across everything it does, while the basketball one never leaves the court. /cfb-higher-lower is the quick one, two quarterbacks and a single number. The sims sit at the far end: /cfb-dynasty runs a football program through NIL, the portal and the 12 team Playoff, while /cbb-dynasty does a basketball one through one and dones and a March bracket.

Where to start

CFB Higher or Lower. Start here if you follow college football loosely rather than closely. It is two quarterbacks and one question, which one threw for more career college yards, and the answers are counterintuitive often enough that guessing on reputation gets you burned. Quickest thing in the section.

Guess The College. Clues arrive one at a time and you can guess whenever you like, so the score rewards nerve. It is about the school itself rather than any one team, which makes it the one to pick if you know campuses better than you know any single sport. Guess early and it is worth more, wait and you are trading points for certainty.

Guess The CBB Program. Same clue by clue shape as Guess The College, but it never leaves college basketball, so everything you are handed points at a program rather than at a campus. Pick this one over its sibling if your knowledge is specifically hoops.

CFB Dynasty. The long one. You run a football program through recruiting, NIL money, the transfer portal and the 12 team Playoff, across seasons. Its twin /cbb-dynasty is the same idea on a basketball calendar with one and dones and a March bracket, so pick by which sport you actually sit down and watch.

College, the background

Almost everything that makes college sports confusing right now arrived in the last few years. The NCAA transfer portal opened on October 15, 2018, and the NCAA's interim name, image and likeness policy took effect on July 1, 2021. A judge gave final approval to the House v. NCAA settlement on June 6, 2025, and schools could begin paying athletes directly from July 1, 2025. The map moved too: in 2024 the Pac-12 lost ten members to the Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC, leaving Oregon State and Washington State, and the league then rebuilt around them, relaunching on July 1, 2026 with nine full members including Boise State, San Diego State and Gonzaga. Football's playoff went from four teams to twelve for the 2024 season, with first round games hosted by the higher seed rather than at a neutral bowl site. Basketball's bracket held at 68 teams from 2011 through 2026, and then the NCAA approved a jump to 76 for the 2027 tournament, with a 12 game Opening Round cutting the field back to the usual 64. If a program you remember looks nothing like the one playing now, that is most of the reason why.

Questions people ask

Guess The College and Guess The CBB Program look like the same game. Which one do I want?

They share the format, clues released one at a time until you guess, but not the subject. Guess The College is about the school itself, the character of a place and its history across everything it does rather than one sport. Guess The CBB Program stays inside college basketball from the first clue to the last. Know campuses, start with the first. Know hoops, start with the second.

Do I need to know who is actually on rosters this season?

No. College Grid and CFB Higher or Lower run on career and program history, not this week's depth chart, and the guess games are about schools rather than current players. Given how fast rosters turn over now, a game built on current names would be stale in a month anyway.

How long do CFB Dynasty and CBB Dynasty take, and do they save?

They are the long ones. A single season of recruiting, portal moves and postseason is a proper sit down, and a dynasty is many seasons. Both save your progress in your browser, so you can close the tab mid rebuild and come back to it. The other four games in this section are daily and take a few minutes.

Do I need an account for any of this?

No. Every game on this page plays signed out and free, including both dynasty sims. An account only exists if you want streaks and leaderboard placings to follow you around, and nothing is locked behind it.
