Football squares your guests claim from their phones

Add Football squares to your RSVPlinks event and share the link or QR code: guests claim squares on a 10 by 10 grid from their phones. When the grid is full, press Draw and the live screen rolls the row and column numbers. Enter the score after each quarter and the winning square lights up with its owner's name. RSVPlinks handles no money.

The rolling digits

The twenty digits along the sides roll like slot-machine reels and stop one by one, the columns first, then the rows, over the claimed grid.

Sample names, drawn in your browser with the same rules as a real game. Nothing is saved.

What guests see

  • The grid on their phone: "Pick up to" their limit, tap squares, then Save my squares.
  • "The grid is locked." once you draw, with the numbers along each side.
  • Each period's winning square on the event page.

On the big screen

  • Row and column numbers roll and stop, then each period's winning square lights up with confetti.
  • Skip jumps to the result and Replay plays it again. Neither changes who won: every result is stored before it plays, so a refresh or a second screen shows the same thing.
  • Full screen, synthesised sound you can mute, and buttons along the top that switch between your event's games without leaving full screen (keys 1 to 9).
  • QR code puts the game's page on the big screen for the room to scan.
  • Preview the draw rehearses with your players, topped up with sample names, and saves nothing.

Questions

How do football squares work?

Players claim squares on a 10 by 10 grid. Once it's full, the numbers 0 to 9 are drawn at random for each team's side. After each quarter, the last digit of each team's score points to one square, and its owner wins that quarter.

Does RSVPlinks collect money for squares?

No. Games are for fun: RSVPlinks never collects, holds or pays out money for squares or any game.

Can guests who didn't RSVP claim squares?

Yes, by default anyone with the link or the QR code gives a name and claims. Choose Guests opt in on the RSVP form or add players yourself to keep it to your guests.

Can I print the grid?

Yes. The print page makes the full grid with names and numbers for the wall at the party.
