The Game That Gets
Neighbors Talking
I Got Dibs! started with a simple idea: what if there was a game that made you actually want to walk over to your neighbor's house?
Our Story
It started over a holiday dinner. Someone jokingly "stole" the centerpiece from the table and hid it at their house. The next day, a neighbor stole it back. Within a week, the whole block was in on it.
That silly game of neighborhood keep-away became the inspiration for I Got Dibs! We thought: what if we could take that feeling — the surprise, the strategy, the excuse to ring someone's doorbell — and turn it into something anyone could play?
So we built it. NFC tags that track who has the mascot. Leaderboards that fuel the rivalry. Seasonal themes that keep it fresh. And a 24-hour cancellation window because, well, sometimes you realize you've bitten off more than you can chew.
Today, I Got Dibs! is made by Block Heist LLC — a small team that believes the best technology brings people closer together, not further apart.
What We're About
Community First
We believe the best games bring people together. I Got Dibs! turns your neighborhood into a playground where every household is part of the fun.
Simple but Strategic
Tap an NFC tag to steal the mascot. It sounds easy, but with cooldown timers, leaderboards, and neighborhood rivalries, every move matters.
Hyperlocal
This isn't a game you play alone on a screen. It happens on your street, at your neighbor's door, in your community. Real places, real people.
Built with Mischief
We started I Got Dibs! because we wanted a reason to knock on our neighbors' doors. Turns out, a little friendly theft goes a long way.
