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

Edit: five stars now because it's not glitchy at all anymore and they keep adding new stuff! I absolutely adore this game. It's like a mix of Scrabble and Wordle with some wacky elements thrown in. The only issue I have with it is the postcard system is a little glitchy, it won't let me place words where I want to on postcards sometimes. To anyone reading this: You should play this game!!!! dftba

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.
