If you just finished an unsuccessful fantasy football season, don’t worry – there are still ways to cash out on the NFL season. Super Squares®, the world’s first Predicter Squares™ game, has already paid out more than  $300,000 in prize money this year and is offering weekly tournaments for each playoff round.

For the Wild Card Round, Super Squares® has a $2.4 million jackpot. By the Super Bowl, the company will give away two Rivian electric pickup trucks. The prizes are real and growing, and you can see a list of past winners here.

Entering for a chance to win is free and simple. Here’s how you can take a shot at the prize on Super Squares® during the NFL Playoffs.

What is Super Squares®?

Super Squares® is a game show app that rewards football fans for making predictions and paying attention to games. It’s free for anyone with a smartphone!

The game combines luck with football knowledge and requires watching some commercials during games. To sign up, all you need to include is your name, birthday, phone number, email, and city. From there, you’re set to start climbing the weekly leaderboards and earning free prizes!

According to the company, the current $2.4 million jackpot is the largest of any free-to-play app in the app store and is the largest of any TV game show in the USA.

Right now, Super Squares® is dedicated to football, but the platform can work with other sports. According to the company FAQ, Super Squares® plans to roll out hockey, racing, basketball, and baseball tournaments by mid-2022.

Super Squares® is only available to residents of the U.S. and Canada who are at least 21 years old.

How Does Super Squares Work? 

Super Squares® revolves around live football. Before games start, you submit three “Predictors,” guesses on things that will happen in a particular upcoming game. For instance, you can try to predict the exact amount of passing yards in a given contest. After you’ve put in your predictors, it’s time to tune into the games and pay attention – your prizes depend on it.

During commercial breaks, Super Squares® will serve you ads and occasionally ask questions about them. Ratings and correct answers lead to additional points, making commercials “The Key to Earning Game Show Points,” according to the Super Squares® playbook. There are typically four to six game breaks in a football game, so you should always be ready to answer some questions through your app when playing.

Super Squares® also rewards you for telling your friends about the app. You can have your friends sign up and list you as a “Buddy,” making you eligible to win certain prizes whenever your referrals win.

You can play along with your friends by creating a “SkyBox,” a private, head-to-head lobby where you can see how you stack up with your buddies. Super Squares® also offers VIP SkyBoxes, which feature radio and Twitch personalities hosting.

How Does Super Squares® Make Money?

Although Super Squares® doesn’t charge users anything to pay, the company still needs to make money.

Super Squares® sponsors, whose ads you will see in-game, help pay for the prizes while keeping it totally free for consumers.

Since Super Squares® is already designed around making sure you focus on ads, sponsors are willing to support big prizes for your views.

“Your proven attention is the currency of a new world of rewarding advertising,” according to the FAQ. “And you deserve to be rewarded for engaging.  It’s a Win-Win situation.”

Is Super Squares® Worth It? 

Even when Super Squares® isn’t giving out cars or hundreds of thousands of dollars in big games, the prizes are still pretty serious. In addition to the weekly prizes, the game also pays out players each hour, offering gift cards and cash bonuses. All in all, across the season, Super Squares® paid out about $20,000 per week. Since the entire platform is free, it’s certainly worth the few minutes it takes on Sunday (or weeknight games) to set predictions and react to commercials.

The Bottom Line

Like fantasy sports, Super Squares® gives you the chance to win prizes based on your sports knowledge. Unlike fantasy, Super Squares® also makes luck and skill, less important, rather making your focus the key piece to winning. This unique twist on a fantasy-style makes Super Squares® more accessible and easy to play for everyone.
