How It Works

01

A match is played.

ReadTheGame selects the fixtures with the greatest narrative stakes — a comeback, a rivalry, a tournament turning point. Not every game qualifies.

02

The match is rebuilt as a novella.

Real players, real moments, real drama — written as literary fiction. ~6,000 words, four chapters, published within hours of the final whistle.

03

You read it your way.

On your phone, tablet or desktop (EPUB/Kindle coming soon!). No score revealed upfront. The result unfolds as you read.
