The easiest way to run a Super Bowl squares game. Create your grid today — even before the matchup is decided — and the teams, colors, and kickoff time fill in automatically after the Conference Championships. Then we handle live scoring and winner detection on game day.
Teams, colors, and kickoff time will update automatically after the Conference Championships.
Super Bowl squares is the most popular way to add excitement to the big game. A 10x10 grid creates 100 squares, each representing a unique combination of score digits for both teams. Participants claim squares before kickoff, numbers are randomly assigned, and winners are determined at the end of each quarter based on the last digit of each team's score.
For example, if the score at halftime is Chiefs 17, Eagles 14, you would look for the square at column 7 and row 4. Whoever claimed that square wins the halftime round. It is simple enough for anyone to understand, yet creates nail-biting excitement on every scoring play.
The game has a long history dating back decades and has become a staple at Super Bowl watch parties across the country. For the full rules, visit our How to Play page.
Even guests who do not follow football get invested. Every score change could make someone a winner, keeping the whole room engaged from kickoff to the final whistle. Running an office party? See our office game day guide.
Four simple steps to game day excitement.
Set up your Super Bowl grid anytime — even weeks before the matchup is decided. The teams, colors, and kickoff time fill in automatically once the Conference Championships are done.
Send one link to your Super Bowl party guests, office group, or group chat. No app downloads or accounts needed. Works great for remote groups too.
Players claim squares by entering their name. Once all 100 squares are claimed, randomize the numbers with one click. See what makes a good grid for tips.
Scores update live during the game. At the end of each quarter, we highlight the winning square automatically.
Share your grid at least a week before the game. This gives everyone time to claim their squares and builds anticipation.
Display your squares grid on the TV during the party. Everyone can watch the scores update and see winners announced in real-time.
Do not assign numbers until all squares are claimed. This keeps it fair and prevents people from gaming the system. For more on keeping things smooth, read our etiquette guide.
Choose "With Overtime" format if you want a 5th winner for the final score separate from Q4. Standard mode uses final score for the last winner. Our overtime guide explains both formats.

Everyone says 0, 3, and 7 are the numbers you want. Here is the actual proof: the score at the end of every quarter of the last twelve Super Bowls, with the winning square digits for each period. Scores are cumulative, and the boxed pair next to each score is the square that won that quarter (winning team's digit first).

Overtime games (LI and LVIII) show the final overtime score in the Final column. If your game uses the "With Overtime" format, the end-of-regulation square pays separately.
Out of 48 winning squares above, a 0 or a 3 appears in 31 of them. The first quarter is the most predictable period: 0-0, 7-3, and 7-0 cover most of the last decade, and no first quarter here ended without at least one 0, 3, or 7. The final score is where the odd digits sneak in: the last twelve finals produced an 8-5, a 5-2, two games ending in 9, and a 0-2, so a "bad" square is never dead money in the fourth quarter. And Super Bowl LX made history of a sort: New England sat on 0 for three straight periods, the first time since LIII that one team held the same digit into the fourth quarter.
Numbers are assigned randomly after squares are claimed, so none of this helps you pick, but it tells you exactly how excited to be when the numbers are revealed. For the full digit-by-digit frequency data, read our complete numbers breakdown.
Create it anytime, even before the teams are set. Your game will automatically update with the final teams, their colors, and the official kickoff time once they are determined. No need to wait or make changes yourself.
No problem. Create your game now and start collecting squares. Once the Conference Championships are over, we automatically pull in the official matchup, team colors, and game details from the NFL. Your grid stays exactly as your players claimed it.
It does not. The halftime winner is locked in the moment the second quarter ends, so the extended halftime show has no effect on your grid. It is actually a great time to gather everyone around the board, celebrate the halftime winner, and talk trash before the second half.
Standard format has 4 winners: Q1, Halftime, Q3, and Final. If you choose "With Overtime" format, there are 5 potential winners (Q4 end-of-regulation + Final if the game goes to OT).
Yes. Players can claim as many squares as you allow. Some groups let people take 2-5 squares each to fill the grid faster.
That is fine. Unclaimed squares simply cannot win. Many groups run successful games with 50-75 squares filled.
No. When you select the Super Bowl game, scores update automatically throughout the game. Winners are highlighted instantly at the end of each quarter.
The Super Bowl is just the beginning. Run squares for any sport, any game.
