A personalized game gift for your boyfriend for your anniversary: a thank-you letter you can play
Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.
To say thank you to your boyfriend for your anniversary, 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 is, in one page
A game turns gratitude into an occasion. He gets a pixel world with him 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
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 go on our first trip?
- Which film have we watched too many times?
- What was I wearing on our first date?
- What did I get wrong on our first anniversary?
- 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 your anniversary is tomorrow
Gift cards, flowers and a personalized game can be arranged online the same day. An oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment. Pair one with a handwritten note and he still has something to open.
Traditional gift lists by year, paper, cotton, leather and so on, can give you a direction if you like rules. Break them if you have a better idea.
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.
- 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 say thank you to my boyfriend for my anniversary?
Write what you are grateful for in two short letters, add five quiz questions about the things he does for you, and give him the game as a private link. The thank-you is spoken twice, at the start and the end of the story.
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. It plays in a browser on any recent phone, so he taps the link and plays. Nothing to download or install.
