## What is TenTacToe?

Ten takes a classic game and turns it into a deep, multi-layered strategy experience.

Played on a massive 3x3 grid where every square contains another smaller 3x3 board, the goal is simple: get three in a row on a small board to claim the giant square. Claim three giant squares in a row to win the game.

But there is a catch. You don't get to choose which small board you play on.

The move you make dictates exactly where your opponent must play next. If you place your piece in the top-right corner of a small board, your opponent is forced to make their next move somewhere in the top-right giant board. Every single move is both an attack on a local board and a forced trap for your opponent on the global board.

FEATURES

Seamless iMessage Multiplayer: Built exclusively as an iMessage app. No separate accounts or sign-ups required—just tap the app drawer in your chat and send a move to a friend.

Planning Mode (Sandbox): Need to think five moves ahead? Open the Sandbox to safely test out future moves, predict your opponent's responses, and game out complex strategies without altering the real game.

Smart Hints: Turn on Hints to calculate the mathematical win probability of every possible move, generating a color-coded heatmap of the best (and worst) choices on the board.

Pass & Play: Hanging out in person? Enable Pass & Play to play locally on a single device.

Wildcards: If your opponent forces you to a board that is already won or completely full, you earn a Wildcard and can place your next piece anywhere on the entire grid.

Do you have the foresight to trap your opponent, sacrifice a small board to win the big one, and claim victory?
