X goes first, players alternate on a 3×3 grid. Three in a row — row, column or diagonal — wins. The hardest AI plays perfectly, so against it the best you can manage is a draw.
How to play Tic-Tac-Toe
Tic-Tac-Toe (noughts and crosses) is the 30-second classic: two players mark X and O on a 3×3 grid, and the first to make three in a row wins. Simple to learn, but the endgame still rewards a little cunning.
How to play
X moves first, then players alternate. Three in a row — row, column or diagonal — wins; a full board with no three is a draw. On MiniGamesPark you can face a friend on one screen or test yourself against an AI, from relaxed to unbeatable (the hardest AI plays perfectly, so your best result is a draw).
Tips for better play
- Take the center. It participates in four winning lines, more than any other square.
- Create a double threat. Two open lines at once force your opponent to pick one — you take the other.
- Block, then counter. If your opponent has a two-in-a-row, close it before trying your own fork.
- Learn the draw pattern. Against perfect play, every game ends in a draw — enjoy the duel rather than the win.
