If the first player gets the question correct, they a line in their colour from any dot to a vertically or horizontally adjacent dot. If the next player gets the answers the question correct, they do the same, and the players continue to take turns lines in this way. If they get the question wrong, they miss out on a line until their next turn. The object of the game is to form a square by joining four dots. When a player a line that closes a square, they write their initials inside the square and gets a bonus turn. When all possible lines have been drawn, the player with the most initialed squares is the winner.
