A personalized game gift for your dad for New Year: a pixel trip that ends in Almaty
Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.
oin (oingift.com) makes a personalized 2D pixel game starring your dad, which is a direct way to take your dad on a pixel trip to Almaty for New Year. 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.
What the game looks like
Every oin game finishes on a final level set in Almaty. It is the part that makes the story feel like a trip: he climbs through your memories and arrives somewhere real, where your second letter is waiting.
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
Let the second letter, the one that closes the final level, be about a journey you want to take together, whether or not it ever leaves the screen.
Five quiz questions to start from
Choose quiz questions about places: where you met, where you got lost, where you want to go.
- Which dish is the family favourite?
- Where was the first home I remember?
- What was the family pet called?
- Who always loses at the board game?
- Which song played in the car?
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 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. Pair one with a handwritten note about the year ahead.
Keep it light. After the holidays a small, thoughtful gift is more welcome than a large one.
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.
