Are you ready to put your baseball knowledge to the test? Major League Baseball has just unveiled an exciting new way for fans to engage with their favorite sport through Daily Walkoff, an officially licensed trivia game that promises to entertain baseball enthusiasts every single day of the week.
Daily Walkoff invites fans to challenge themselves by answering quick trivia questions related to MLB teams and players. The game works by allowing players to choose their favorite MLB team and then sort player tiles into designated trivia categories. Successfully completing each trivia column earns participants a base hit. Score four hits and you achieve a run, ultimately winning the game. However, be careful—miss three times and your game ends abruptly.

What makes Daily Walkoff truly unique is its ambitious approach: every day, the game introduces 30 brand new puzzles, one for each MLB team. Whether you're a dedicated supporter of a single club or consider yourself a master of the entire league, there's always a new puzzle waiting to challenge you.
The game was independently launched back in September 2024, stemming from the joint passion of two friends for baseball and the camaraderie it fosters. Eric Parker and Jacob Cook, who both have backgrounds in game development and data engineering, are the creative minds behind SoDo Games, the company responsible for Daily Walkoff. Their love for the Seattle Mariners inspired them to create a platform that connects fans through the rich history of baseball and its iconic players.
"Seeing Daily Walkoff resonate with so many fans has been a remarkable journey," Cook expressed. "What I cherish most are the heartwarming stories, like that of a father who enjoys playing it each morning with his son. It’s wonderful to play even a small part in fostering connections through baseball."
Now, Daily Walkoff joins the ranks of MLB’s suite of free-to-play games, which includes Beat the Streak, Spinball, and MLB Pickle. Its focus on specific teams means you can also find the game featured prominently on each MLB club’s homepage.
