GrabGifts reflects a broader gaming shift toward compact, financialized experiences that blend entertainment with meaningful upside. The thrill comes from the reveal, playing into uncertainty, rarity, and a chance at outsized rewards. It mirrors the real‑world appetite seen in Pop Mart’s Labubu blind‑box phenomenon, where buyers embrace uncertainty, chase rarities, and return because the reveal itself holds part of the value. GrabGifts channels that same dynamic inside Telegram, translating it into a quick, mobile‑native experience with surprising outcomes.
In GrabGifts, players choose a box tier, ranging from a free option to 1 TON, 5 TON, and 50 TON entries, open the box, and instantly receive their reward within Telegram. Prizes span from stickers and Premium features to higher‑value Telegram Gifts, and players can sell prizes back or withdraw them immediately. Engineered for speed and simplicity, the loop runs entirely in Telegram.
Early results show strong demand, with a limited $50 gift promotion used for user acquisition bringing in ~40,000 new players overnight. Since the soft launch three weeks ago, cohorts have posted 55 % Day‑1 and 35 % Day‑7 retention, before lifecycle features were enabled.
“GrabGifts mirrors the real‑world appetite seen in Pop Mart’s Labubu blind‑box phenomenon, where buyers embrace uncertainty, chase rarities, and return because the reveal itself holds part of the value. We are channeling that same dynamic inside Telegram, translating it into a quick, mobile‑native experience with surprising outcomes,” said Simon Davis, CEO of Mighty Bear Games, creators of GOAT Gaming. “Rather than gambling, this reflects proven variable‑reward principles applied transparently. And with AI, we were able to build and ship these experiences in days, not months, capitalizing on the Telegram Gift trend.”
