Welcome to FourFourTwo’s Dating Game – but don't worry, we're not here to play cupid for you. Instead, we’re putting your football knowledge and calendar skills to the ultimate test with a simple, yet intensely addictive, daily 'guess the number' challenge. It's the perfect daily ritual for any football fan who loves a good mental workout.

How to play FourFourTwo’s Dating Game

The premise of FourFourTwo's Dating Game is straightforward: our mystery number is always four digits long – and it’s a year. Simple, right?

For today’s calendar-based conundrum, we're asking you to pinpoint a specific, historic moment in footballing history. You're hunting for the exact year that legendary French striker, Thierry Henry, was born. Is your memory as sharp as his finishing? Only one way to find out.

This quiz takes a page out of the Wordle playbook. All you have to do is enter your four-digit number guess, and the system will instantly give you feedback by lighting up the digits. Correct numbers in the correct position will shine bright in green, letting you know you’re one step closer to victory. You have a maximum of six attempts to try and guess the exact date that we're looking for. The pressure is on, and the clock is ticking on your daily challenge. Think you’re up to the challenge of getting today’s 'date' in the fewest attempts possible?

Once you've conquered (or been stumped by) the Dating Game, remember that FourFourTwo is your ultimate home for all things football trivia. We've got an endless well of fascinating facts and brain-busting trivia on the beautiful game, courtesy of the brilliant Kwizly. Don't stop at one quiz – put your feet up, delve into our archives, and indulge in even more football fun.
