How to Play Hollywood Squares

Hollywood Squares is a TV game show where two contestants play tic-tac-toe. The game board was made up of celebrities. The show ran from 1966 to 1981 and was revived on three different occasions--from 1983 to 1984, 1986 to 1989 and 1998 to 2004. The following will tell you how to play Hollywood Squares.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Pick a star who will answer a question given by the host.
2. Agree or disagree with the star who answered the question. If you are correct you get the square, if you are wrong, your opponent gets the square--unless it will give her three in a row. In order to win she must earn the winning square herself.
3. Continue playing the game until a player gets three in a row, or five squares, and wins the round. You must win two rounds to be the winner of the game.
4. Winning the game entitles you to go on and face a new opponent. A player can only play five matches before he is retired.
5. Play the box version which was produced in 1974. There is a site in the resource section that will give you the details.
6. Buy the hand held version. There is an eBay site in the Resources section that is selling this game. You may also be able to purchase it in a local store.
7. Download the game. If you want to play the computer version of Hollywood Squares, you can download the game from the site in the resource section.
