A personalized game gift for your boyfriend for New Year: a thank-you letter you can play
Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.
To say thank you to your boyfriend for New Year, 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
Thank-you notes get read once and filed. In oin the thank-you is something he plays: he controls the main character, collects flowers by answering questions about what you share, and ends on a letter that says what his support meant.
The story is built from what you fill in: an authorized photo for the main character, two letters, a 5-question quiz with flowers for correct answers and up to two custom NPCs. The final level is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan; New York and Tokyo are coming soon.
What to write in the two letters
Use the first letter to name something specific he did, with the day and the detail. Use the second to say what it changed for you.
Five quiz questions to start from
Let the quiz questions be the small things he does without being asked, so passing them feels like being seen.
- Where did we first meet?
- What did I cook on our first night in?
- What did I get wrong on our first anniversary?
- Where did we go on our first trip?
- What is the nickname only I use?
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 you are shopping at the last minute
New Year gifts can be small and still feel considered. Gift cards, flowers and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.
Keep it light. After the holidays a small, thoughtful gift is more welcome than a large one.
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.
- 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 once, $29.90, with no subscription; the game is 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.

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.
