How To Play
How GameGrid works
GameGrid is a daily video game trivia puzzle where every answer has to satisfy two clues at once. Each cell in the 3x3 board combines one row category with one column category, and your job is to find a real game that matches both.
Basic rules
- Choose one game per cell.
- Each answer has to match both categories for that cell.
- You cannot reuse the same game in multiple cells.
- The daily board resets at midnight UTC.
- Practice mode lets you generate fresh boards whenever you want.
Common category types
Boards can include platforms like Xbox 360 or PC, genres like RPG or Shooter, decades like the 1990s, themes like Horror or Science fiction, perspectives like First person or Side view, and game modes like Single player or Co-operative.
Frequently asked questions
How are answers validated?
GameGrid validates answers against IGDB category data and additional game-cleanup rules to keep the puzzle focused on recognizable releases.
Why do some cells show big answer counts?
Some category combinations are broad, like a major theme paired with an entire decade. Others are much narrower, which is part of what makes each board interesting.
Can I play old daily boards?
Right now the easiest way to keep playing is practice mode. A fuller archive is a natural future expansion for the site.
