Dots & Boxes, rebuilt for competition. Play friends on the same device, take on an AI opponent, or battle anyone in the world — all in real time.
Pass and play on a single phone or tablet. Up to four players take turns drawing lines — claim a box on all four sides and it's yours. First to capture the most boxes wins. Fast, tactical, and no internet required.
Each player sets their name, picks an emoji avatar, and chooses from 12 color options (6 free, 6 Pro). The scoreboard updates live as boxes are captured, with a pulse indicator showing whose turn it is. Ties are handled gracefully with a dedicated result screen.
Three difficulty levels — Easy, Medium, and Hard. The AI reads the board and responds accordingly: Easy lets you practice openings, Medium forces deliberate play, and Hard applies real strategic pressure with chain control.
Perfect for solo sessions, learning the game, or warming up before online play. The bot takes its turn instantly — no waiting, no drop-off risk. Jump in and out whenever.
Create a room and share a 6-character invite code. Your opponent joins on their device — anywhere in the world. Moves sync instantly via Firebase Realtime: you see their line appear the moment they draw it.
Both players see the same live board with their respective color highlights. The game starts the moment both players are in the room. No lobbies, no bots filling empty slots — just two people, competing.
Every match starts with a quick setup screen. Choose the number of players, assign custom names and emoji avatars, pick player colors, and select the board size. Each player's color runs through the entire game — on their lines, their captured boxes, and the scoreboard.
Each theme rewires the entire visual system — line colors, box fills, board gradients, and score highlights. Two themes are free. Eight unlock with DotMesh Pro.
One purchase. No ads — ever. Every theme, every color, every board wallpaper. The game as it was meant to be played.
No banners, no interstitials. Clean gameplay from the moment you open the app.
