Abstract

A system and method are provided for implementing a uniquely automated, and otherwise gamified, version of a Squares Game. The disclosed schemes incorporate technology for hosting on, or interacting/reacting with, potential participants' mobile and personal communicating and computing devices. The disclosed schemes simplify hosting of, and participation in, a unique implementation of a Squares Game associated with one or more live event, including but not limited to live sporting events. The disclosed schemes introduce a streamlined process for registering participants, selecting interior game squares, among many players, and executing all of the gaming functions in an automated manner to include identification and notification of winners when their winning numbers are determined to be associated with respective numbers in the live event.

a display device for displaying information regarding a game matrix including a plurality of selectable gaming squares;
and
a gamification device that is configured to
direct display of the game matrix on the display device including information defining each of the selectable gaming squares in the game matrix;
receive user selection of one or more of the selectable gaming squares transmitted from a user-controlled electronic device;
randomly select and insert information identifying numbers associated with each of the selectable gaming squares when the selectable gaming squares are selected;
direct display of a completed game matrix on the display device;
monitor the progress of a live event with which the game matrix is associated;
obtain numbers indicative of the progress of the live event;
determine a winner based on a comparison of the obtained numbers from the live event and identifying numbers associated with a particular selected gaming square;
and
direct notification of the determined winner by sending information to the user-controlled electronic device.
