And why not use the Super Bowl, the most watched sporting event in the country, to get coworkers amped about getting back to work?

The Super Bowl not only brings football fans together, but it also instigates some friendly competition with hardcore fans, casual fans, or people trying to bond with their fan friends. Take this opportunity to reignite office energy and get people excited to come back to work. Plus, you’ll be promoting office bonding and collaboration.

Find out how you can bring some of this excitement into the workplace with Super Bowl office pools, games, and other fun ideas.

Block Pools Friends & Family (FnF) 20 Points per Block 5 SCORE WINNERS (200 points per winner). A lot of people run Super Bowl squares contests — also known as block pools, grid pools, or box pools — for the big game in February. But why not do them every week? The basic rules: Pick an NFL game and start with a 100-square grid, with numbers 0-9 listed along each axis.

Football Squares: the standard Super Bowl pool template

Similar to the March Madness Bracket (which we also have tips for in our March Madness Workplace Games & Office Pool Ideas post), Football Squares for the Super Bowl are one of the most commonly used office sports bracket systems around. While there are many versions, the most popular one is the 10×10 variation. It’s pretty simple:

Start with a 10X10 grid, giving you 100 squares.
Assign one of the teams to rows and one to the columns.
Recruit workers to join the pool and “buy in” to a square.
Randomly assign each row and column with a number (0-9).

Once you have every square accounted for, you’re already set up to have your own Super Bowl office pool. Winners are determined after each quarter of the game, and the last number in each team’s point total is used to decide the victor – if the score at the end of a quarter is 14-7, whoever “owns” box 4-7 (row 4, column 7) will win a portion of the pool. This is the collective pot of money that all participants put in to “own” a square.

Spice it up

Simply doing an office pool might not be enough to get employees engaged and involved as they pick up steam in the new year. There are ways to make the whole Super Bowl office pool a little more exciting:

Throw a tailgating party – Immerse employees in the football experience with an office tailgating party. Lucky for you, we have some office tailgating tips on hand for that too.
Super Bowl office party – After the tailgating, host an actual viewing of the game. You can provide food, drinks (if your company guidelines allow), and amplify the excitement as pool winners are revealed live, during the event.
Games – Aside from the actual Super Bowl pool, there are other games to play. You can play drinking games based on events happening in the game (player injury, interception, certain types of commercials, etc.) or even have an inter-office football game to get into the spirit. Check out our football supplies if this piques your interest.
Make the winners feel special – Aside from winning the money, create awards for winners to make the whole event a little more personalized. This is also an option if you don’t want to have gambling going on in your workplace.
Create rules – Stray from the norm a bit by adding your own flair to the game. Allow partakers to trade squares as the game goes, create another way to determine the row/column number winner, or have those with squares near the winning squares win complimentary prizes.

Other Super Bowl pool games & templates

You might be thinking: there aren’t enough people in my office/workplace to fill out a 100 square grid. Fortunately, there are other options:

10 line – This is a simple one; each person is given 1 of 10 boxes and each box is assigned a number. Every quarter, add each team’s score and the final digit is the winning number. The 10 Line is ideal for smaller companies or groups.
25 grid – With this option, it’s a 5×5 grid that is assigned two numbers per team for each square – more chances to win!
50 grid – This is a 5×10 grid that assigns 2 numbers per row (team 1) and 1 per column (team 2).
Score guessing– Each participant will guess the total number of points (combined) as well as the winning team’s score; the winner is whoever gets the closest guess.

And these are just a few! Templates for these versions can be found on the PrintYourBrackets Super Bowl page, but the options are endless. Now go ahead and create some camaraderie between coworkers and get the post-holiday cobwebs out!

How do you celebrate the Super Bowl in the workplace?

Super Bowl LIV is finally here, and the long-anticipated matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers could end up going either way with Patrick Mahomes and Jimmy Garoppolo leading the way for their respective clubs. In turn, bets could play out in interesting ways to kick off the decade.

The Super Bowl has a variety of things that may attract casual fans. Super Bowl squares is becoming one of the more prominent aspects.

Here’s how it works and how to win.

What are Super Bowl squares and what is the format?

Each player gets a board that features 10 rows and 10 columns, adding up to 100 squares. One of the teams will be assigned the rows, while the other team will be assigned the columns. After that, the numbers between zero and nine are randomly chosen for each row and column, which allows for every possible score combination.

Who gets which squares depends on the pool you enter. Some pools randomly assign squares, while others auction off certain spots or allow players to buy as many squares as they want per quarter.

How do Super Bowl squares and numbers work? How do I win?

Each square has a corresponding row and column number. At the end of each quarter, players will look to see if those two numbers match the end digits of each team’s point total. For example, if the score at the end of the second is Chiefs 14, 49ers 3, then the player with the square that corresponds with four for Kansas City and three for San Francisco.

Which pool players are playing in determines the pay out. Some pools pay out at the end of every quarter, or the halftime or final scores could also determine who wins.
