A hockey game with a hockey name

Hertl shares its name with Tomas Hertl, the Czech NHL forward, which is why searches for the game and the player get mixed up. The game at hertl.app hides one NHL player a day. You get eight guesses, and each one shows how your player compares with the mystery player.

Using the clues well

  • Start with a well known player on an average team. You learn more from a middle of the road guess than from a superstar who is an outlier.
  • Position is a strong filter. Once you know if the answer is a forward, a defenseman or a goalie, most of the league is ruled out.
  • Team and division clues send you around the map. Guess a player from a nearby team next.
  • Turn on the silhouette only if you are stuck. It helps with body type and pose, but it is a big hint.

Daily and unlimited

The daily player is the same for everyone. After that, unlimited mode lets you keep going with new players, which is the best way to learn the rosters of teams you do not follow.
