About this game

Dots & Boxes brings the classic paper-and-pencil game to life with modern visuals, smart AI, and multiple ways to play.

Take turns drawing lines, complete boxes to score, and earn extra moves. Plan carefully, build chains, and outplay your opponents to win.

Challenge advanced computer players with five difficulty levels, from Very Easy through to Expert. Whether you want a relaxed game or a serious strategic challenge, the AI adapts to your level and improves the experience.

Quick Game lets you jump straight in with up to four players, human or AI. Choose your grid size, set the difficulty, and play exactly how you want.

Tournament Mode offers structured progression with curated challenges. Each tournament features multiple levels with increasing difficulty. Earn Gold, Silver, or Bronze medals depending on how efficiently you complete each run.

Stamina Mode tests how far you can go. Play through an endless sequence of games with increasing difficulty while managing limited lives. One mistake can cost you, so every move matters.

Box Points Mode adds a new twist, where each box has a different value. It’s no longer just about capturing the most boxes, but choosing the right ones at the right time.

Track your progress with detailed stats across all modes, including win rates, best stamina runs, and tournament performance. Unlock achievements as you play and improve your skills.

The game supports up to four players, multiple grid sizes, and full customization of player names, colors, and initials. You can also resume games and stamina runs at any time.

Designed for mobile, the game features smooth controls, clear visuals, and a clean style inspired by classic pen-and-paper gameplay.

If you have any suggestions or feedback, I’d love to hear them.

It tries to look up something called score loop on the Internet at the end of a game. Can't find it but keeps trying to dial it up every couple of seconds. You can't do anything, not even get into the settings as it keeps popping up. The only way to stop it was to turn off the phone and then unintelligible. A serious bug somewhere!!!

I like the game a lot. I wish I could put my name to play instead of "player, medium, e1" etc. Otherwise, it's just like the dots game people play on paper. I think the game would be better if the player could enter their name. I also wish you could earn lives when the player wins a level.

DO get this. This game is great! Best dots and boxes game out there! But PLEASE make local LAN play and Bluetooth for a game on two devices! I'll give five stars if you do.
