World Cup Prediction Game for Mate Groups

Settle the Score with Your Mates

Every World Cup, the same debate: who actually knows football? Stop arguing, start predicting. Kickgeist turns your mate group into a prediction squad where every match is a chance to prove who really gets the beautiful game.

The Social Prediction Tradition

Prediction games among mates are as old as football itself. From scribbled predictions on napkins in the pub to chaotic WhatsApp group polls, fans have always loved calling matches. The problem? Those methods are messy, hard to track, and someone always forgets to submit.

Kickgeist replaces the chaos with a clean, real-time experience. One shared group. Everyone's predictions locked before kickoff. Live leaderboard updates as goals fly in. No spreadsheets, no arguments about who said what.

How It Works with Mates

  1. Create & Invite

    Create a group and send the invite link to your mates on WhatsApp, Telegram, or wherever your group chat lives.

  2. Lock In Predictions

    Before each match, everyone locks in their prediction: home win, draw, or away win. Takes 10 seconds.

  3. Watch the Leaderboard

    Watch the leaderboard update in real time as matches unfold. See who's leading, who's on a streak, and who needs reminding they 'definitely know football.'

Group vs Group: Challenge Your Rivals

Have a rival mate group? Challenge them directly. Kickgeist's Group Challenge feature lets two groups compete head-to-head. The group with more correct predictions wins. It's the ultimate bragging rights battle between squads.

Bragging Rights Are the Only Currency

No money changes hands. No entry fees. No prizes to argue about. The reward is pure: being able to say 'I told you so' with leaderboard proof. In our experience, that's worth more than any pot of cash.

Screenshot the leaderboard. Share it in the group chat. Let the predictions speak for themselves.
