A personalized game gift for your dad for his birthday: your memories as a level they can play

What the game looks like

Instead of a scrapbook he flicks through once, the memories become levels: a quiz built from real details, two letters that frame the journey and a final level in a real city.

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 opening line of a story and the second as its last page, and let the quiz fill the middle.

Five quiz questions to start from

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

• Who always loses at the board game?
• What does Dad or Mom always say at dinner?
• What was the family pet called?
• What did you call me when I was small?
• Which holiday do we still talk about?

Why it suits your dad

A dad who is hard to buy for will usually enjoy a gift with a bit of humour and a short, honest letter. Make him the hero and keep the quiz to family stories.

It opens from a link in a browser, so there is nothing for him to set up.

If the birthday is tomorrow

Leaving it late is easy to fix: Gift cards, flowers and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment. Add a cake or a card for the table.

Birthdays have a clock, so order anything that ships at least a week ahead and keep the digital gifts for the day itself. A card with a specific memory beats a long message.

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 the two letters: one opens the game, one closes the final level.
• Add a 5-question quiz about your shared memories; each correct answer is rewarded with 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

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.
