How do Super Bowl squares work? Everything you need to know!

Here’s everything you need to know about Super Bowl Squares

The Kansas City Chiefs are on the brink of making NFL history, aiming for an unprecedented three-peat as Super Bowl champions. But standing in their way are the Philadelphia Eagles, setting up an electrifying showdown at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9, 2025.

For Patrick Mahomes, this game is another shot at cementing his legacy with a fourth Super Bowl title. Meanwhile, Saquon Barkley, fresh off a 2,000-yard season, is looking to add a championship ring to his career milestones.

With all eyes on the big game, one burning question remains: Will anyone score in the first quarter?

Last year, the Chiefs and 49ers were tied 0-0 after one quarter, making that a winning combination in Super Bowl squares. Could history repeat itself?

 

How to Play Super Bowl Squares

Super Bowl Squares is one of the most popular party games for the big game, adding excitement even if you’re not supporting either team. It’s a game of pure chance, where each participant gets two numbers to follow based on the score at the end of each quarter.

How to Set Up Your Super Bowl Squares Board

  1. Create a 10×10 grid with 100 squares (use a printable version or an online generator).
  2. Label one axis with the Eagles and the other with the Chiefs.
  3. Leave an extra row and column blank—this is where the numbers (0-9) will be drawn later.
  4. Have participants pick squares by signing their initials in them.
  5. Once all 100 squares are filled, randomly draw numbers 0-9 for each team and assign them to the grid.
  6. Winners are determined by the last digit of the teams’ scores at the end of each quarter.

For example:

  • If the first quarter ends 0-0, the player with Eagles 0 / Chiefs 0 wins that round.
  • If the final score is 30-27, the winning square would be Eagles 0 / Chiefs 7.

 

Best Super Bowl Squares Numbers (Winning Combinations Over Time)

  • 3-7 (10 times)

Conversely, numbers like 2, 5, or 8 have historically been among the least common winning digits.
