How to Play Super Bowl Squares

Playing Super Bowl squares is easy, even if you’ve never done it before. The game begins with a grid of 10 rows and 10 columns, comprising a total of 100 squares. The first step is to assign the squares to participants. You can do this by having people pick squares at random or by auctioning them off for an extra bit of fun.

Once the grid of betting boxes are filled, the numbers 0-9 are randomly assigned to both the rows and columns. These numbers represent the last digit of each team’s score at the end of each quarter. For example, if the score at the end of the first quarter is Team A 14, Team B 7, the person who has the square where the row shows 4 and the column shows 7 wins the first quarter.

The best part? You don’t need to know a thing about football to win. The numbers on the grid and the final score at each quarter determine who takes home the prize.
