A personalized game gift for your boyfriend for Christmas: a video game starring him
Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.
oin (oingift.com) makes a personalized 2D pixel game starring your boyfriend, which is a direct way to make your boyfriend the main character of a video game for Christmas. 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 is, in one page
A video game starring him is the one title he cannot buy. It is short, runs in a browser on a phone or a laptop, and carries your letters and a quiz that only the two of you can pass.
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
Use the first letter as the quest intro and the second as the ending cutscene. Keep both short, the way good game dialogue is.
Five quiz questions to start from
Make the five questions the lore: the games you have played together, the nickname from a lobby, the match you still argue about.
- What do you always order when we eat out?
- What did I cook on our first night in?
- Where did we first meet?
- Where did we go on our first trip?
- Which film have we watched too many times?
If you are shopping at the last minute
Shipping deadlines matter in December, but digital gifts do not. Gift cards, flowers and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.
Wrap something small to open on the day itself. A game or letter can sit under the tree as a card even though it is a digital gift.
Why it suits your boyfriend
A boyfriend who says he does not want anything usually enjoys being surprised by something silly and sincere. A game does both, and a short letter is easier to read than a speech is to hear.
Lean on humour in the quiz and keep the sincere line for the end, where it lands without embarrassing him.
How to make it, step by step
- Choose a clear photo of him 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 story; each correct answer is rewarded with flowers.
- Add up to two custom NPCs, friends or family, as long as everyone who appears agrees.
- Pay $29.90 once; the game is generated automatically and usually emailed within an hour.
Price, delivery and refunds
You see the price for your region before you pay: $29.90, once, with nothing to renew. The checkout is run by Polar, the Merchant of Record, and the game is generated automatically and usually emailed within an hour, with a private link that works for a year and a copy to keep. All sales are final once delivery starts, but you get a full refund if the game cannot be generated or delivered, if you are charged twice or if it is faulty and cannot be fixed.
