Or at least, it could be. But first, say hello to your new Grab friends — Sunny, Aha, Nova & Blitz.
Your little friends have big plans for the new year, but they need your help to make it happen…
Help Sunny grow special GrabRewards trees across Singapore, and you could earn yourself bountiful rewards points. Here’s how:
Take rides or complete special missions to earn more seeds. Every Grab ride you complete after earns you 2 new seeds.
Not all trees are created equal. The number of GrabRewards points you can harvest depends on two things: the life stage and type of tree.
There’s no need to go back and water your seed, just give it some time to grow on its own. It will eventually go through 4 life stages — Seed, Seedling, Sapling and Tree.
You can start harvesting points once it has sprouted into a seedling or sapling, but you’ll earn way fewer points compared to a fully grown tree.
You may only harvest a tree at any life stage ONCE, so make this decision carefully!
There are 4 types of trees — Frail, Healthy, Excellent & Diamond. This is determined by where you plant your seed.
Be adventurous! Explore and plant trees in different areas to maximise your harvests.
Here’s a nifty guide to how much you could harvest from different trees:
If it all seems a little overwhelming at first, don’t panic. Your Grab friends will be there to help!
Once your account has been verified, Sunny will walk you through all you need to know about growing trees.
Meanwhile, Aha is hard at work researching soil types and the best locations to plant trees. Keep your eyes peeled for her hints here, on your Grab app and on our socials, @grab_sg on Instagram or @grabSG on Facebook.
Head over to grabrewardsville.sqkii.com to get started. Good luck, and happy harvests!

About Trees and Soil
1. What are Trees?
Trees are the virtual plants that you can grow in #GrabRewardsville! Each Tree goes through four stages and can evolve into different types at each stage.
2. What are the four stages of a Tree?
Each Tree begins as a seed that you can receive either as a gift from the Grab Friends, through completing Missions, or through taking qualifying Grab rides. After you plant a seed, it then goes through the following stages in order: Sprout, Seedling, Sapling, and Tree.
3. What are the different types at each stage?
At each stage, the Tree can evolve into a Frail, Healthy, Excellent, or Diamond type. The type at an earlier stage does not necessarily determine the type at a later stage; for instance, a Frail Sprout may eventually grow into an Excellent Tree.
Remember to evolve your Tree after it is fully grown at each stage — if left unattended for too long, different stages of a Tree will become Withered and will no longer be redeemable for points.
4. How does the Soil affect the type of Tree at each stage?
Every seed planted has a chance to grow into the various types of Trees. However, the better the Soil quality, the more likely it is that the seed will grow into a better Tree with more points:
5. Why did my Sprout/Seedling/Sapling/Tree become Withered?
Just like actual plants, your plants in #GrabRewardsville require constant care and attention too!
Every Sprout, Seedling, and Sapling has to be evolved within 12 hours once they are fully grown, i.e. once the “Evolve” button appears. Similarly, every Tree has to be redeemed within 12 hours once they have been evolved from a Sapling.
If left alone for more than 12 hours after it is ready to be evolved or redeemed, the Sprout, Seedling, Sapling, or Tree will become Withered and can no longer be evolved to the next stage or redeemed for points.
Redemption of GrabRewards Points
1. How many points can I get from each stage and type of Tree?
Sprouts cannot be redeemed for points, as they are the first stage of a Tree’s growth. Seedlings of all types can be redeemed for 10 points each, while Saplings of all types can be redeemed for 30 points each.
At the last stage, Trees can be redeemed for varying amounts of GrabRewards points based on their types:
2. How and when will I be receiving my redeemed GrabRewards points?
The GrabRewards points you redeem should be automatically credited to the Grab account you used to log in to the game. If you do not receive the points in your account, just head over to https://help.grab.com/passenger/en-sg/ for further assistance!
Seed Codes and Missions
1. I’ve run out of seeds! How can I get more of them?
If you’ve run out of seeds, you can obtain more seeds by completing Missions in #GrabRewardsville or by taking a qualifying Grab ride! Each completed Mission awards a varying amount of seeds, while each qualifying Grab ride will give you a seed code to redeem 2 seeds.
2. What are Missions?
Missions are mini activities for you to complete within #GrabRewardsville. Each completed Mission awards its own amount of seeds — after you have completed the task indicated, simply tap on the “Redeem” button in the Missions page to get your seeds!
3. What is a qualifying Grab ride?
A qualifying Grab ride refers to a Grab ride transaction that (a) is made between 28th December 2020, 12:00am (midnight) and 31st January 2021, 11:59pm and (b) is not a GrabHitch and GrabResponse transaction and (c) is transacted via GrabPay or GrabPay credits payment methods.
4. How do I redeem the seeds from my Grab rides?
After you complete a Grab ride, simply go to “My Rewards” in your Grab app and tap on “2 #GrabRewardsville Seeds”, copy the reward code, and paste it into the seeds page in your #GrabRewardsville screen. You can access the seeds page by tapping on the bottom right button on the main map.
5. My seed code is invalid. What should I do?
Do check whether you have already redeemed the seed code previously, as each code can only be used once. Remember to also check if you have entered the code correctly as it is case-sensitive! (Tip: Just copy and paste the code!)
If you continue to face issues redeeming your code, just head over to https://help.grab.com/passenger/en-sg/ for further assistance.

COVID-19 has dealt an unprecedented blow to the tourism industry, affecting the livelihoods of millions of workers. One of them was Komsan, an assistant chef in a luxury hotel based in the Srinakarin area.
As the number of tourists at the hotel plunged, he decided to sign up as a GrabFood delivery-partner to earn an alternative income. Soon after, the hotel ceased operations.
Komsan has viewed this change through an optimistic lens, calling it the perfect opportunity for him to embark on a fresh journey after his previous job. Aside from GrabFood deliveries, he now also picks up GrabExpress jobs. It can get tiring, having to shuttle between different locations, but Komsan finds it exciting. And mostly, he’s glad to get his income back on track.
