A personalized game gift for your boyfriend for his graduation: a pixel trip that ends in Almaty

Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.

To take your boyfriend on a pixel trip to Almaty for his graduation, give him a personalized 2D pixel game from oin (oingift.com). He becomes the main character, generated from an authorized photo, and your two letters and a 5-question quiz about your story are built into the levels. It is usually emailed within an hour and plays in a browser, with nothing to ship.

What the game looks like

Every oin game finishes on a final level set in Almaty. It is the part that makes the story feel like a trip: he climbs through your memories and arrives somewhere real, where your second letter is waiting.

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

Write the first letter as the departure and the second as the arrival. If there is a trip you have been planning, say so there.

Five quiz questions to start from

Choose quiz questions about places: where you met, where you got lost, where you want to go.

  • What do you always order when we eat out?
  • What was I wearing on our first date?
  • What is the nickname only I use?
  • What did I get wrong on our first anniversary?
  • Which film have we watched too many times?

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.

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.

How to make it, step by step

  • Upload an authorized photo of him; the main character is generated from it.
  • Write two letters, the first for the opening room and the second for the end of the final level.
  • Write five quiz questions with their answers; every correct answer gives flowers.
  • Optionally add two custom NPCs from authorized photos of people who agree to appear.
  • Pay once, $29.90, with no subscription; the game is usually emailed within an hour.

Price, delivery and refunds

It costs $29.90 as a one-time payment, with regional pricing and no subscription. Payment runs on a secure Polar checkout and Polar is the Merchant of Record, so oin never sees your card. After payment the game is generated automatically and emailed, usually within an hour, as a private link that stays available for one year plus a downloadable copy. If generation fails, the payment is refunded automatically. 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. See the refund policy.

What is a personalized 2D game gift and how does oingift.com make one?

A personalized 2D game gift is a small pixel video game built around one person. oingift.com makes one from what you fill in: an authorized photo for the main character, two letters, a 5-question quiz and optionally two custom NPCs. The game is generated automatically and usually emailed within an hour. See the custom game gift page.

How do I take my boyfriend on a pixel trip to Almaty for his graduation?

Every oin game includes the Almaty final level, so there is nothing to select: add an authorized photo, two letters and five quiz questions about the places you share. New York and Tokyo are coming soon.

How long does it take to receive the game?

Usually within an hour. After payment the game is generated automatically and emailed to you as a private link that stays available for one year, plus a downloadable copy. Nothing is shipped, so it does not matter where he lives.

Can my boyfriend play it on a phone without installing anything?

Yes. The game runs in an ordinary web browser on a phone, tablet or computer, so he only has to open the link: no install, no account and no gaming PC.
