New to squares? Here’s the whole game.
Super Bowl squares, football squares, the office pool grid; it is the same game whatever your group calls it.
Everyone claims one or more squares on a 10×10 grid: 100 in all. Once the board fills, Pool Prophet draws random digits 0–9 for every row and column. At the end of each quarter, whoever’s square matches the last digit of both teams’ scores wins that quarter’s share of the pot.
For example
Say it’s 24–17 at halftime. The square where the row for 4 meets the column for 7 just won the second quarter.

Made for the people you actually watch the game with
Questions people actually ask
The rest are on the squares pool FAQ : how the draw works, what the best numbers are, and what happens in overtime.
Does Pool Prophet take a cut?
No. The buy-in you set is exactly what your friends pay: the whole pot goes to the winners.
When does my card actually get charged?
It's authorized the moment you claim squares, but only charged once all 100 are taken. If the board doesn't fill before it locks, every hold is released automatically; nobody pays for a pool that never happened.
Can anyone else find or join my pool?
No. There's no public list of pools, only people with your invite link can even see the board.
Is this only for the Super Bowl?
No: the Super Bowl is just when most people play. Any NFL or NBA game on the schedule works, all season.
