Why squares on Thanksgiving

A Thanksgiving game for the whole family

Thanksgiving is one of the few days the whole family is in one place, and football is part of the day in a lot of homes. Football squares turns the games into something everyone can play together, even the ones who don't follow football.

  • The games are already on

    In a lot of homes the TV is on football from the first kickoff to the last. The Lions have played on Thanksgiving almost every year since 1934 and the Cowboys since 1966, so for their fans the games are part of the day.

  • Anyone can win

    No football knowledge needed. Pick a square and watch the score: the cousin who never watches has the same shot as the family expert.

  • It lasts all day

    Three games on Thanksgiving Day and four quarters each, from the early kickoff to the night game, so there's always a winner coming up.

  • Play from anywhere

    Share one link, and relatives who couldn't make the trip play on the same board.
