Turn your Garmin into a game console! The classic pencil-and-paper game of Dots & Boxes, redesigned for your wrist. Whether you're waiting for a run buddy or killing time before your next adventure, grab a friend with a Garmin and battle it out. Or go solo against the AI.
Challenge a Friend Wirelessly
No phone needed. No Bluetooth. No Wi-Fi. Just two Garmin watches and ANT. Pair up in seconds with a simple code and you're playing. Pick your color, choose your board size, and start claiming boxes.
Three Ways to Play
- Host: Start a game, pick the board size, and share your pairing code
- Join: Enter your friend's code and jump in
- Single Player: Take on the AI at Easy, Medium, or Hard, or pass the watch with N Player mode
Pick Your Battlefield
Three board sizes to match your mood. 3x2 for a quick round, 5x4 for the sweet spot, 7x6 when you want a real challenge. Smaller boards fit perfectly on the wrist, larger ones test your strategy.
Built for Your Watch
Every detail is crafted for the small screen. A glowing ring shows whose turn it is. Tap two dots to draw a line. Haptic buzz on every key moment. Touch or buttons, it just works. Supports 70+ Garmin devices.
Outsmart the AI
Three difficulty levels that actually matter. Easy for a casual warm-up. Medium evaluates chains and thinks ahead. Hard will punish every mistake. Good luck.
Track Your Rivalry
Stats are split across Single Player, AI, and Multiplayer, wins, losses, draws, and win percentage. All saved across sessions. Reset anytime when you want a clean slate.
Instant Rematches
No menus, no waiting. Games restart automatically so the rivalry never stops.
