About this game

Gubbins is a friendly puzzle game where players place tiles to construct words, with the help and hindrance of wildcard modifiers called Gubbins.

Minimalist typography alongside kooky cartoons serve as a canvas for moreish wordplay. Dig through the draw pile and make words on the board with hilarious friends wreaking havoc.

Ratings and reviews

An amazing word game! Until you beat the tutorial and figure out you have to pay almost six dollars to play the actual game. You only get one puzzle a day if you don't pay. While I get that you need to make your money. There should be more than just one daily puzzle for those who want to play. Pretty bogus in my opinion. But I respect the hustle. Reduced to one start for the very abrupt way the game makes you pay to play.

I like this game a lot, but have emailed a suggestion: add a setting so that movement on screen during gameplay, such as the pencil and trumpet tiles, can be stopped for people like me with ADHD, and others with disabilities that make such things a struggle. Overall, though, intuitive UI, helpful tutorial, fun and engaging gameplay. Hank sent me, and I'm glad he did. :D

It's hard to find good word puzzle games that aren't brain teasers. Games like Wordle and Baikoh do it well in my opinion, and this game stands tall with them, with cute visuals and easy to grasp mechanics. There's a few bugs here and there but it is newly released at the time of this review. The moveable S's won't place correctly sometimes and it can really mess up your word map if you are rushing. And big shout out to Hank Green for helping put this on the radar for puzzle lovers like me.
