A Squares game is played during a sporting event on a grid with one team assigned to each axis. Participants choose grid squares, and the final digits of each team's score determine the winning square for each configured period.
The Squares Game supports NFL and college football, NBA, WNBA, men's and women's college basketball, the UFL, and the AFL (Australian Football League).

The free version includes one active grid and the complete player and game-day experience. Payment and payout amounts are simulated for entertainment and bragging rights; the free game does not process entry payments or prizes.
The challenge
Creating a grid should not require the manager to type every team name, game time, and matchup detail by hand.
How The Squares Game helps
Search upcoming games by sport, league, and date, then select the matchup. The Squares Game fills in the teams and scheduled game details so the manager can focus on squares, payouts, and invitations.
The challenge
A traditional 10 × 10 grid runs out of room after 100 squares, limiting larger groups and successful fundraisers.
How The Squares Game helps
When enabled, Auto Expand can open another 100 squares when the current round fills, letting more players join without forcing the manager to create and reconcile a separate game.
Fundraisers and large watch parties aren’t limited to 100 entries. More people can join the fun, increasing participation and giving fundraisers greater earning potential.
Built to reduce manager work
The challenge
A casual group should be able to join without accounts, payment setup, or a formal invitation process.
How The Squares Game helps
In the free version, players open one public link, enter a name, and choose squares. Names and winners are real; the $10 square value, payment status, ledger, and payouts are simulated.
The challenge
A player may want to join the fun after the game starts even though future winning events—such as Q2—have not begun.
How The Squares Game helps
When enabled, new and returning players can join after play begins and participate in the remaining eligible events without changing events that have already started.
A late arrival doesn’t have to miss the entire game. Friends can keep joining the fun—and fundraisers can keep growing—while completed periods remain protected.
The challenge
It is difficult to understand the value of an integrated ledger and payout workflow without seeing them operate during a complete game.
How The Squares Game helps
The free version demonstrates payment status, a $10-per-square ledger, winner identification, and payout tracking without collecting or transferring real money.
Built to reduce manager work
The challenge
Watching the clock and manually drawing a new set of numbers at exactly the right moment takes the manager away from the game.
How The Squares Game helps
Using the live feed, The Squares Game detects when the game or a configured event starts and randomly assigns digits 0 through 9 to both team axes. Each number set is drawn only when its event begins—for example, Q2 numbers are drawn when Q2 starts.
The challenge
Managers and players should not have to switch between a sports app and the Squares grid to understand what is happening.
How The Squares Game helps
The Squares Game automatically brings the live score and play-by-play feed into the grid, so everyone can follow recent plays, the game clock, and the currently winning squares in one place.
The challenge
Managers should not have to calculate score digits, locate the winning square, and match it to a player after every scoring period.
How The Squares Game helps
The Squares Game uses the live score to identify the winning square at each configured event and displays the real player name entered for that square.
The challenge
Managers and players often need guidance at the exact moment they encounter an unfamiliar option or workflow.
How The Squares Game helps
Help Mode explains buttons, checkboxes, list options, and other actionable controls directly on each screen, so people can learn what an option does without leaving their work or searching separate instructions.
Run your game confidently, even if it’s your first time. In-context guidance helps managers and players find answers quickly, reducing questions, mistakes, and interruptions.
