About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever imagined turning your daily routine into a battlefield of intrigue and laughter? Don't Get Got! is exactly that: a party game that doesn't happen around a table, but rather in parallel to everything you're already doing. Whether at a family barbecue, in the office, or during a vacation, the game runs 'in the background' while life goes on as usual. Each player receives six secret and absurd missions that must be completed without anyone noticing what's happening. The goal is simple yet challenging: be the first to complete three of these missions to claim victory.

The missions are the heart of the game and range from subtle tasks to completely bizarre situations. You might have to convince someone to compliment your hair, hide a card inside a jar and get another player to open it for you, or even invent a non-existent word and get someone to ask what it means. The fun lies in the constant tension; you know everyone is trying to 'get' you, so any strange gesture from a friend becomes a reason for suspicion. It's the kind of experience that creates hilarious memories, turning mundane conversations into strategic moves of social manipulation. If you enjoy observing people, acting naturally while plotting in the background, and laughing at friends who fall into your trap, this game is the right choice. There are no turns, no board, and no pauses; real life is your game board and your acting ability is your best weapon. Get ready to distrust everything and everyone, because at any moment, someone might be completing a mission using you as a pawn in their plan.
