Create a squares game for anything. You define the axis labels, enter scores manually, and determine winners exactly how you want. Same great grid, total flexibility.
Manual squares give you complete flexibility over how your game works.
Name each axis whatever you want. Team names, categories, or anything that makes sense for your game.
You enter the scores for each period. No API or live feed required. Just type in the numbers when you are ready.
Enter scores for all four quarters to have four winners, or just enter a final score for a single winner. Your call.
Numbers are still randomly assigned after squares are claimed, keeping the game fair for everyone.
The most popular non-sports use for squares games. Guests predict the baby's birth date and time. The last digit of each determines the winner. Perfect for baby showers, gender reveals, and office celebrations.

Same setup as regular squares, but you are in the driver's seat for scores.
Choose "Manual" mode and set your axis labels. Name them after teams, categories, or whatever fits your game.
Send the link to your group. Participants claim squares by entering their name. No account needed.
Once your grid is full (or when you are ready), randomize the numbers with one click.
Enter scores for Q1, Q2, Q3, and Final, or just enter a final score. Winners are highlighted automatically.
Not sure which mode to use? Here is the difference.
Make sure numbers are assigned before scores start coming in. This keeps everything fair and transparent.
Let your group know upfront whether you will have 4 winners (one per quarter) or just 1 winner based on final score. Check out our etiquette guide for more tips.
If you are doing quarters, enter scores as each period ends so participants can follow along in real-time.
Remember: winners are determined by the last digit of each score. A score of 24-17 means the winning square is at (4, 7).
No. You can enter just a final score if you only want one winner, or enter scores for each quarter to have four winners. It is completely up to you.
Yes. For hockey or other 3-period games, you can enter Period 1, Period 2, Period 3, and Final, giving you up to 4 winners.
That works too. For something like a baby shower (birth date x birth time), just enter the two numbers as your "final score" and you will have one winner.
Yes. As the game admin, you can update scores at any time if you made a mistake.
The game page shows your custom axis labels instead of team names, which indicates it is a manual game. The experience of claiming squares is the same either way.
If your game is on our schedule, use live scoring mode for automatic updates.
Set up a custom squares game in under a minute. You control the labels, you control the scores.
