A personalized game gift for your crush for Christmas: your memories as a level they can play

What the game is, in one page

Photos show a moment; a game lets them walk through it. oin builds a small pixel world around your story, with them as the main character, so the memories are a place they move through rather than a slideshow.

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 set the scene of how it began. Use the second for where you are now and where you hope the story goes.

Five quiz questions to start from

Pick the five questions from different years so the quiz itself tells the story in order.

• What was I wearing on our first date?
• Where did we first meet?
• What did I get wrong on our first anniversary?
• What is the nickname only I use?
• Which song is ours?

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.

If you are shopping at the last minute

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, so it can wait until Christmas Eve. Pair one with a wrapped card and they still have something to open.

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.

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.
• Write five quiz questions with their answers; every correct answer gives 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. See the refund policy.
