How to Add a Tic Tac Toe Widget to Your Form

September 17, 2026

Jotform’s Tic Tac Toe widget adds a fun, interactive element to your form. It’s a great way to keep users engaged, break up longer forms, or simply give your form a playful touch. Just add the widget, adjust a few settings, and you’re ready to give users a quick game while they fill out your form.

Here are a few ways to use it:

  • Add a Lighthearted Break in Long Forms — If your form is on the longer side, a quick game of tic tac toe can serve as a mini breather for your users. It helps break up the flow and keeps people from feeling rushed or overwhelmed, almost like a tiny mental stretch in between sections.
  • Make Quizzes and Learning Activities More Fun — For teachers, trainers, or team leads, this widget can be a playful element in interactive quizzes or learning modules. Even if it’s just for fun, it adds a warm, engaging touch that makes the experience less formal and more enjoyable.
  • Include an Icebreaker in Onboarding Forms — Sometimes forms can feel stiff, especially onboarding or team-building ones. A quick round of tic tac toe can lighten the mood and set a friendly tone right from the start. It’s a simple way to say, “Hey, relax — this won’t be boring!”
  • Boost Engagement in Event or Workshop Forms — If you’re setting up a registration or participation form for workshops, youth activities, or creative events, the Tic Tac Toe widget acts like a fun little bonus. It gives people something interactive to remember your form by.

Adding the Tic Tac Toe widget to your form gives users a fun, interactive way to play a quick game right inside your form. You can set it up like this:

Pro Tips

  • The Tic Tac Toe widget is perfect when you want to lighten the mood—great for game-themed forms, engagement activities, icebreakers, or just giving users a playful moment.
  • Because it’s a visual, tap-heavy game, giving it enough room makes gameplay smoother—especially for mobile users with smaller screens.
