Press Kit
This campaign concluded with the 2026 tournament.
Stadium Grab
Stadium Grab is a free retro Snake game that satirizes World Cup 2026 ticket pricing. Players control a suited executive navigating stadium seating, collecting money bags worth real ticket prices. Get too greedy near the pitch and you tumble onto the field. The game progresses through three stadiums of increasing size and price, with a hidden fourth level.
