Stumble Guys: How to Gift Skins to Your Friends (or Yourself!)

Stumble Guys, the chaotic and hilarious multiplayer knockout game, is all about showing off your unique style while bumbling your way to the finish line. And what better way to do that than with a cool skin? While Stumble Guys doesn’t have a direct gifting feature in the traditional sense, there are still ways to “gift” skins to your friends (or even acquire them for yourself!). This guide will walk you through the current methods and best strategies to achieve this.

Understanding the Limitations: Direct Gifting Isn’t an Option (Yet!)

It’s crucial to understand that Stumble Guys *does not* have a built-in feature that allows you to directly send a skin from your account to another player’s account. Many players have requested this feature, and Scopely (the current developers) might implement it in the future, but as of right now, it’s not possible. This means we need to get creative!

Workaround 1: The Gem Method (Indirect Gift)

This is the most common and generally reliable method. It involves purchasing gems for the intended recipient, allowing them to use those gems to purchase the skin they desire. Here’s a breakdown of the steps:

1. Identify the Desired Skin and Its Cost: The first step is to know which skin your friend wants and how many gems it costs. Skins rotate in the in-game shop, so pay attention to the daily and weekly offers. Take a screenshot or write down the name and gem price of the desired skin.
2. Determine the Gem Package to Purchase: Stumble Guys offers various gem packages at different price points. Figure out which package provides enough gems to cover the cost of the desired skin, plus a little extra for potential taxes or other in-game purchases. It’s often better to slightly overestimate than to come up short.
3. Purchase Gems for Your Friend (or Yourself on Another Device):
   1. If gifting to a friend on Android: You’ll need access to their Google Play account. You can either log in on their device or use a Google Play gift card.
   2. If gifting to a friend on iOS: You’ll need access to their Apple ID. Similar to Android, you can log in on their device or use an Apple App Store gift card.
   3. Using Gift Cards (Recommended): This is generally the safest and most convenient method. Purchase a Google Play or Apple App Store gift card online or at a retail store. The value of the gift card should be enough to cover the cost of the necessary gem package, including taxes. Send the gift card code to your friend. They can then redeem it in their respective app store and purchase the gems themselves.
   4. Purchasing Directly on Their Account (Less Recommended): This method requires logging into your friend’s account, which can raise security concerns. Only do this if you completely trust your friend. Purchase the gem package directly through their account in the Stumble Guys app.
   5. For Gifting to Yourself (on a secondary account/device): If your goal is to get the skin for yourself on another account (for example, if you have one account on Android and one on iOS), follow the same procedures as above, buying the gems through the appropriate app store associated with your secondary account.
4. Instruct Your Friend to Purchase the Skin: Once your friend has the gems in their account, guide them to the in-game shop and have them purchase the desired skin when it appears. Make sure they understand the skin might not be available immediately and to check the shop regularly.

Pros of the Gem Method:

* Relatively straightforward.
* Guarantees your friend gets the gems and can choose when to purchase the skin.
* Gift cards provide a secure and convenient way to gift.

Cons of the Gem Method:

* Requires spending real money.
* The desired skin might not be immediately available in the shop.
* Requires trust if you are logging into someone else’s account.

Workaround 2: The Stumble Pass Method (Limited Availability)

The Stumble Pass is a seasonal progression system in Stumble Guys that offers various rewards, including skins, emotes, and other cosmetic items. While you can’t directly gift the entire Stumble Pass, you can indirectly gift skins by purchasing the Stumble Pass for your friend.

1. Determine if the Stumble Pass Offers Desirable Skins: Before purchasing the Stumble Pass, carefully examine the rewards track to see if it contains skins that your friend would like. Not all Stumble Passes feature skins that appeal to everyone.
2. Purchase the Stumble Pass for Your Friend (Using the Gem Method): Follow the same steps as outlined in the Gem Method to purchase enough gems for your friend to purchase the Stumble Pass. Inform them of the need to buy the pass and not another cosmetic.
3. Advise Your Friend to Grind the Stumble Pass: Once your friend has the Stumble Pass, they will need to play the game and complete challenges to progress through the reward tiers and unlock the skins. This requires time and effort on their part.

Pros of the Stumble Pass Method:

* Offers multiple rewards, including skins, emotes, and other items.
* Can be a good value if your friend enjoys playing regularly and completing challenges.

Cons of the Stumble Pass Method:

* The skins in the Stumble Pass may not be to your friend’s liking.
* Requires your friend to actively play the game to unlock the skins.
* Still relies on the gem purchasing workaround.

Workaround 3: Account Sharing (NOT Recommended – Use with EXTREME Caution)

This method involves giving your friend access to your Stumble Guys account. They can then use your gems or Stumble Pass to purchase skins for themselves while logged into your account. **This is HIGHLY risky and discouraged for several reasons:**

* Security Risks: Sharing your account credentials exposes you to the risk of your account being hacked, stolen, or misused. Your friend could potentially change your password, spend your gems on items you don’t want, or even sell your account.
* Terms of Service Violation: Sharing accounts is typically a violation of the game’s Terms of Service, which could result in your account being banned.
* Loss of Control: You lose complete control over your account when you share it with someone else.

**If you choose to use this method despite the risks, do so at your own peril and only with someone you trust implicitly. Change your password immediately after your friend has finished using your account.**

Pros of the Account Sharing Method:

* Potentially allows your friend to directly choose and purchase skins using your resources.

Cons of the Account Sharing Method:

* Extremely risky and discouraged due to security concerns and potential account bans.
* Violates the game’s Terms of Service.
* Requires complete trust in the person you are sharing your account with.

Workaround 4: Giveaways and Contests (RNG Dependent)

Keep an eye out for Stumble Guys giveaways and contests hosted by content creators, streamers, or even the official Stumble Guys social media accounts. These events often offer gems, Stumble Passes, or even exclusive skins as prizes.

1. Follow Stumble Guys Content Creators and Social Media: Subscribe to YouTube channels, follow Twitch streamers, and like the official Stumble Guys pages on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
2. Participate in Giveaways and Contests: When you see a giveaway or contest, carefully read the rules and instructions and participate accordingly. This usually involves liking, sharing, commenting, or subscribing.
3. Hope for the Best: Winning a giveaway is based on luck, so don’t get discouraged if you don’t win every time. Keep participating, and eventually, you might get lucky!

Pros of Giveaways and Contests:

* Free to enter (usually).
* Opportunity to win gems, Stumble Passes, or exclusive skins.

Cons of Giveaways and Contests:

* Relies on luck and chance.
* No guarantee of winning.
* Can be time-consuming to participate in multiple giveaways.

Future Possibilities: Hoping for an Official Gifting Feature

The Stumble Guys community has been vocal about wanting a direct gifting feature. Many players would love to be able to easily send skins, emotes, or other items to their friends. It’s possible that Scopely will implement this feature in a future update. Keep an eye on official Stumble Guys announcements and social media channels for any news about this.

Tips for Maximizing Your Chances of Gifting Success

* Communicate Clearly: Talk to your friend about which skins they want and how much they cost. This will help you determine the best way to gift them.
* Consider Their Platform: Make sure you are purchasing gems or gift cards for the correct platform (Android or iOS).
* Check for Deals and Discounts: Sometimes, Stumble Guys offers discounts on gems or Stumble Passes. Keep an eye out for these deals to save money.
* Be Patient: The desired skin might not be immediately available in the shop. Be patient and wait for it to appear.
* Prioritize Security: Avoid sharing your account with anyone unless you completely trust them. Use gift cards whenever possible to minimize security risks.
* Set a Budget: Gifting skins can be expensive. Set a budget and stick to it.

Conclusion: Gifting Skins is Possible, Though Indirect

While Stumble Guys doesn’t offer a direct gifting feature, you can still “gift” skins to your friends by using the gem method, purchasing the Stumble Pass (if it contains desirable skins), participating in giveaways, or (at your own extreme risk) sharing your account. Remember to prioritize security and communicate clearly with your friend to ensure a successful gifting experience. Hopefully, Scopely will add a direct gifting feature in the future, making it even easier to share the Stumble Guys fun with your friends!
