FantaSanremo: il Gioco Sulla Musica

FantaSanremo 2025 is an online fantasy game based on the Sanremo Music Festival, now in its 75th edition. It continues the tradition started in 2020 and remains extremely popular, with 1.7 million registered users and over 350,000 private leagues. The game runs alongside the festival from Tuesday, February 11 to Saturday, February 15, 2025.

Key features and rules of FantaSanremo 2025 include:

• Players must create a team by choosing 7 singers among the 29 competing artists, within a budget of 100 Baudi (a virtual currency inspired by presenter Pippo Baudo).
• The team is divided into 5 "starters" (owners) who earn points through bonuses and penalties, and 2 reserves who only contribute with extra bonuses.
• Before each festival night, players must "line up their formation," similar to setting a fantasy football lineup.
• The "Captain" role is very important: the captain’s points are doubled each night, and unlike previous years, the captain can be changed daily between 8 AM and 8 PM.
• Points are accumulated based on final placement, winning awards during the festival, and various bonuses or penalties tied to performances and unpredictable moments (e.g., giving a "high five" to the Mike Bongiorno statue +10 points, falling on the staircase -30 points, wearing all black -5 points, losing composure with a curse -66.6 points).
• Events during the live broadcast count for points; pre-recorded performances still earn points, but if an artist withdraws before the festival starts, they score zero.
• Each night, a secret list of bonuses and penalties is revealed, adding mystery and strategic depth.
• Popular and favored artists for 2025 include Achille Lauro, Elodie, Irama, Rkomi, Giorgia, Olly, Fedez, and Cristicchi. Achille Lauro is the most popular captain pick.
• Prizes do not include money; players compete for "Eternal Glory" and symbolic trophies awarded to the most creative and enterprising players.
