Treble Quest

01The game

Each pick starts with a spin: a club and a season, and a choice of managers or players from it. Fill every slot and the season plays out match by match, with a treble score at the end weighted towards the league, then the Champions League, then the FA Cup.

Classic Mode is English football. Global Mode mixes legendary sides from every league, World Cup Mode is built around national teams, and Legacy Draft builds an all-time eleven from one club.

02A leaderboard you can't fake

The simulation is deterministic: the same squad and the same seed always give the same season. That made the leaderboard straightforward to protect. The API never accepts a score. It accepts the run (seed, mode and picks) and replays it with the exact simulation code the browser used, which CI copies into the server at build time. Whatever the browser claims, the server's own result is what gets stored.

03Head to head

Multiplayer lobbies run over WebSockets on the same Fastify service. The host creates a room and picks the mode and formation, friends join with the code, everyone drafts their own side and the room updates live as people finish and compare scores.

04Nine languages, one static site

The site is a static SvelteKit build, prerendered for every route in nine languages, including Arabic laid out right to left. Every page ships as plain HTML, which keeps it fast and lets each language show up in search on its own.

Results can be shared as an image or a link. Shared links open pages the API renders itself, so each one gets its own preview card in chats and on social media.

05Running it

The static files and the API sit behind the same nginx and Cloudflare setup as Vexara, deployed by GitHub Actions on every push, and the leaderboard database is backed up off-site every night.
