Square-Off Game

iOS iPad

Some games are more than just for fun and provide a healthy dose of learning–You can trust that School Zone’s apps will pack a learning punch! School Zone Publishing Company has been creating children's educational products for over 30 years.

Strategy games are fun for all ages and help with cognitive development, spatial reasoning, and problem solving skills. School Zone’s free Square Off game is healthy fun for the whole family.

Children play against a built-in opponent. First, the child can select a character that will represent him or her when he or she wins a square. Tap the arrows next to the player’s score to change the character. This can be changed anytime during the game. The computer is represented with a computer icon.

The goal is to complete the most squares. Players take turns placing a line (vertical and horizontal lines only) between adjacent dots by touching the space between the dots. The score indicator at the bottom shows which player’s turn is next. The child goes first. When the computer places a line, it will continue to blink so you are sure to know where the line has been placed. The game continues until all the squares are won. The winner is the player with the most squares. An animation rewards children when they win the game.
