Before each game, Paul the Octopus chose between two flag-marked boxes of food. He picked every Germany match of the 2010 tournament correctly — and then the final. The world watched a sea creature out-predict the pundits.
Paul AI inherits the name and the job. It makes a call on all 104 matches of the 2026 World Cup — the same three choices you get: home, draw, or away. It sits on the leaderboard like any other player. Your only task is to finish above it.
Home, draw, or away. Three buttons, no score predictions. Make your calls before kickoff and change them freely until the match locks.
Correct result scores a point. Wrong scores nothing. No partial credit, no bonuses — the same scoring Paul AI plays by.
Paul AI appears on the leaderboard as a normal player. Beat its total by the final and you've done what most of the planet couldn't in 2010.
