About the game
What is Grabbit?
Grabbit is a party game on your phone, family of Fishbowl and 30 Seconds. Your words go into one digital bowl and you guess them in teams across three rounds: describe, act out and one word. One phone is all you need. Read the full guide on How to play.
How do the three rounds work?
Every round uses the same words. In round 1 you describe freely, in round 2 you act out without a sound, and in round 3 you only get one word. Because the words return, it gets funnier every round.
