A personalized game gift for your crush for Christmas: a thank-you letter you can play
Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.
To say thank you to your crush for Christmas, give them a personalized 2D pixel game from oin (oingift.com). They become 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 they play: they control the main character, collects flowers by answering questions about what you share, and ends on a letter that says what their 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
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.
- Which film have we watched too many times?
- What was I wearing on our first date?
- Where did we first meet?
- Which song is ours?
- What did I get wrong on our first anniversary?
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 crush
For a crush, the best gift is light and low-pressure. A pixel game with a friendly letter shows effort without a grand declaration, and it is easy for them to answer.
Keep the letters short and the quiz about things you have genuinely shared, so there is nothing to feel awkward about.
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 the two letters: one opens the game, one closes 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. 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. See the refund policy.
What is a personalized 2D game gift and how does oingift.com make one?
It is a short video game made about someone you care about. On oingift.com 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.
How do I say thank you to my crush for Christmas?
Write what you are grateful for in two short letters, add five quiz questions about the things they do for you, and give them 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?
About an hour in most cases. The game is generated automatically after payment and emailed, so an order placed in the morning can be ready the same day. There is no parcel and no customs.
Can my crush play it on a phone without installing anything?
Yes. The game runs in an ordinary web browser on a phone, tablet or computer, so they only has to open the link: no install, no account and no gaming PC.
