How Squares Work

Simple enough for anyone to play

Pick a Race

Choose an upcoming race and create a squares board customized for that event.

Set Up a Board

Create a board, share a single link, and let friends, family, or coworkers claim squares. Takes 60 seconds.

Numbers Randomize

At the green flag, numbers are randomly assigned along each axis. The grid is sealed. Pure luck from here.

Cheer Every Stage

The leading car number after each stage determines digits. Three stages, three winners. The board lights up automatically.
