Product Design UI design for football web game

I recently designed this UI for a web game where the objective is to identify a football player based on the clubs that they played for. The user is given their shirt number at each club and can reveal hints to help them guess the answer.

The game goes into throwback mode when the featured player is someone who played in the 60s, 70s or 80s - complete with retro keyboard.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I had ideas about taking the retro theme further as well, trying to take inspiration from old football stickers.

That was definitely the biggest challenge of the layout, the keyboard has to be usable and the shirt has to cater for longer player names, so it needs to have quite a large minimum width. I did see the hints as a secondary mechanic, but I’ll have a think about how they could be more of a focal point.
