Hey👋 I built Journeyman because I kept losing at Poeltl and Immaculate Grid for the wrong reason. I knew the player, I just couldn't get there from a list of attributes. What I actually remember about guys is where they went. The trade nobody expected. The two-year stop on a bad team. The weird late-career jersey. So Journeyman reveals a career the way you'd actually recall it: one team at a time, in order, with the jersey he wore that season and his numbers for those years. You guess as early as you can. Two reveals is a good day. The hard part wasn't the game, it was the data. Jersey numbers by season are only reliable in public NFL data from 1996 onward. The NBA's API returns a single number per player, so a guy who changed numbers mid-career comes back flat and everything has to be reconstructed from other sources. And every uniform is drawn from scratch rather than pulled from official assets, which meant a lot of nights checking collar treatments and striping against reference photos. I've already had corrections from the uniform-history crowd and I'll take more. Three puzzles daily, one per league. Free, no signup, no account required. All three in one day is a Triple Play. Two things I'd like feedback on: 1. Does the first jersey give it away too fast for star players? 2. Should the stats on each card be fuller, or does that make it trivially searchable? Playing along with whoever shows up today. Ask me anything.
