GridBlitz Features That Actually Work on Game Day
You focus on the game. We handle the Grid. Create yours, invite your crew, and track every quarter in real time.
Set Up a Grid in 60 Seconds
Pick the game, name your Grid, lay down your House Rules, and you’re set up. Invite your crew with a link or a Game Code — or save it and invite them later. No spreadsheets. No chaos.
- Step-by-step creation wizard — the game, a name, settings, House Rules
- Unique Game Code for easy sharing
- Copy-paste invite link
- Dashboard shows all your active games
The create wizard — done in about 60 seconds
Join from Anywhere. Zero Friction.
Got an invite link? Tap it. Have a Game Code? Paste it. A quick sign-in and you’re picking Squares in seconds. And for the people who’ll never make an account — grandma, the neighbor, your uncle — the host can add them as guests and manage their Squares for them.
- Join via invite link or Game Code
- Guest players need no account at all (host-managed)
- Works on any device — phone, tablet, laptop
- Hosts see join requests as they arrive
One link or a 7-character code — that’s the whole join flow
Pick Your Squares on Your Phone
Tap a Square to hold it, confirm to lock it in. Selection Mode lets you grab several at once. Your holds stay yours for 5 minutes of inactivity — each interaction resets the clock, so nobody’s pressured mid-pick.
- Tap to hold, confirm to lock in
- Batch selection for picking several at once
- 5-minute inactivity hold that resets as you go
- No double-claims — the platform enforces it
▣ On hold ✓ Confirmed ? Selecting — number headers stay hidden until lock
Invite Your Crew. Manage Guest Players.
Share the link, text the Game Code, or send personal invite links from your saved groups and played-with list. Add guest players who don’t have accounts. Watch the Grid fill in real time and manage who’s in your game.
- Shareable link + Game Code
- Personal invite links from groups and past crews
- A QR code your crew can scan to ask to join
- Guest players — host-managed, no account needed
- Real-time fill progress and an approval queue
- Optional: let players invite their own people (you still approve everyone)
The invite hub — groups, played-with crews, and share links
Truly Random Numbers. No Cheating.
Once the Grid is full and locked, GridBlitz assigns random numbers to the rows and columns. No one — including the host — can see or influence the numbers beforehand. Total transparency.
- Numbers assigned only after the Grid locks
- One-time, irreversible assignment
- Cryptographically random shuffle
- Everyone sees the numbers at the same time
Lock night — the numbers land, in the open, all at once
Live Score Tracking. Real-Time Score Matches.
During the game, scores update automatically. The Grid highlights the Score Match as each new score comes in, and when a quarter ends, its Score Match is recorded.
- Automatic score refresh during live games
- The Score Match, highlighted in real time
- Quarter-by-quarter snapshot table
- Score-change toasts while you watch
- Filter the Grid to just your Squares

One Score Away
The clarity paper never had: at any moment, see exactly which next score would light up your Square — a field goal, a touchdown, a safety — and whose Square every other outcome points to. You always know what you’re rooting for.
- Every next-score outcome, mapped to its Square
- Your Squares’ scenarios, one glance
- The whole Grid’s picture on one panel
- Updates with every score change
A field goal lights up (7, 4). A touchdown flips it to (4, 4).
Mobile-First. Works Everywhere.
The Grid fits any screen. On your phone, a scrollable Square list sits one tap from the Grid view, and selection happens in a thumb-friendly panel. Nothing requires a laptop — host and play entirely from the couch, the bar, or seat 14C.
- The Grid and a Square list, one tap apart
- Thumb-friendly Square selection on mobile
- Accessible touch targets throughout (WCAG AA)
- Four themes — find your vibe
