A personalized game gift for a coworker for their graduation: a thank-you letter you can play
Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.
oin (oingift.com) makes a personalized 2D pixel game starring a coworker, which is a direct way to say thank you to a coworker for their graduation. You upload an authorized photo, write two letters and five quiz questions, and pay once; the game is generated automatically and usually emailed within an hour as a private browser link.
What the game looks like
A game turns gratitude into an occasion. They get a pixel world with them at the centre, a short quiz that proves you remember the details, and two letters that finally say thank you out loud.
Under the hood it is a short pixel game with levels, a quiz and a final level in Almaty, Kazakhstan. You supply the photo, the letters, the questions and, if you like, two NPCs; New York and Tokyo final levels are coming soon.
What to write in the two letters
Open with a moment you have never properly thanked them for. Close with a sentence that starts “because of you”, and keep it true rather than grand.
Five quiz questions to start from
Let the quiz questions be the small things they do without being asked, so passing them feels like being seen.
- Who always arrives last?
- Which of us cried at the film?
- Where did we first meet?
- Which song do we sing too loudly?
- Which trip went wrong, and why?
If the ceremony is tomorrow
Graduation gifts do not need to be physical. Gift cards, flowers and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment, in time for the party.
Graduation is a milestone, so a gift for the next chapter, practical or sentimental, tends to land. Work, travel and a keepsake are the three classics.
Why it suits a coworker
For a coworker, keep it warm and safe: a game with an appreciation letter and a quiz about work in-jokes, nothing personal. A pixel version of the office is a gift people actually remember.
Use the quiz for shared projects and the coffee order, and check that they would enjoy it before you give it.
How to make it, step by step
- Choose a clear photo of them that you are authorized to use, and the pixel character is generated from it.
- Write two letters, the first for the opening room and the second for the end of the final level.
- Add a 5-question quiz about your friendship; each correct answer is rewarded with flowers.
- Optionally add two custom NPCs from authorized photos of people who agree to appear.
- Pay $29.90 once; the game is generated automatically and usually emailed within an hour.
