A one-tap game of perfect timing
Four smartphones ride a spinning plate. When one reaches the gold grab zone at the bottom, the player taps and a Santa-glove hand snatches it. Grab all four and a fresh plate spins in with a new phone family and a new speed.
The goal is simple: grab as many phones as you can before the timer runs out, and never miss. There are no lives, so a single missed grab ends the run. Rounds last 60 seconds by default.
The game runs in the browser in a portrait frame. Because the pieces are phones with product names and colors, it suits electronics, telecom and retail brands, and we can restyle it for others.

Why Christmas Smartphone Grab suits your campaign
The rules fit on one screen, rounds are short, and the scoring gives players a reason to go again.
Short rounds keep lines moving
A round lasts 60 seconds, or 30 seconds in the short mode, and a missed grab ends it early.
Precision gets rewarded
Tap within 5 degrees of the zone center for a perfect grab worth 150 instead of 100. Gold phones score 250, and four perfect grabs on one plate add 300 on top of the 200 plate bonus.
The challenge climbs
Plate speed rises through five tiers, and from plate 8 the plate can reverse. The time window for each phone shrinks from 0.46 seconds to 0.18.
