The goal is to complete the objectives provided in the grid. Clicking an objective marks it as complete, and completing any row, column or corner-to-corner diagonal wins the game and stops the timer. You can right click a square to highlight it to help plan squares you may want to complete. Some objectives require doing something multiple times (such as collecting 5 of an item), these count your progress each time you click the objective. If you misclick and need to undo completing an objective, either click the objective again or click the minus button if it is one with more than one level of completion. Below is some advice and rule suggestions, but of course you can play however you find most fun.
The game should be played on a fresh character, and started from just before leaving the vault at the elevator. This means you can start the timer and have a chance to change special points after looking at the board if you would like, and serves as a standard starting point if you want to compare times with others. There are no objectives in the pre-war/vault sequence. If you die or load a save, the lost progress should be removed from the board, so I recommend saving after each objective. For this reason I also recommend not playing on survival unless you use a mod to allow saving.
If you would like to play in real-time against a friend, I recommend looking at Bingo Sync. They don't have an existing Fallout 4 board, so you can copy the objectives by clicking here. Then on BingoSync, make a new room and scroll to the bottom of the list of games and select "Custom (Advanced)". Then paste the objectives into the board textbox, and set variant to "Randomized". The site doesn't have progress tracking for objectives or a timer, so you'd need to keep track of those yourself.
Lastly, consider trying my Geoguesser game for Fallout 4 here
Upload a file containing your own objectives, or paste them in the text box.
Objectives must be formatted either as one line per objective (these will be created with a single level
of completion), or an array of JSON objects. You must enter at least 25 objectives.
