A personalized game gift for your fiancé for his birthday: a video game starring him

What the game looks like

Most gamers have played everything worth playing, but none of those games was about them. In oin he becomes the pixel hero, generated from an authorized photo, and moves through levels built from your shared history, with quiz rewards instead of loot.

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

Use the first letter as the quest intro and the second as the ending cutscene. Keep both short, the way good game dialogue is.

Five quiz questions to start from

Make the five questions the lore: the games you have played together, the nickname from a lobby, the match you still argue about.

• What do you always order when we eat out?
• Which song is ours?
• What is the nickname only I use?
• What did I cook on our first night in?
• Where did we first meet?

If the birthday 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, so it can still be ready for the morning. Pair one with a handwritten card and he still has something to open.

Think of the day as a whole: a morning surprise, a gift at dinner and something for the evening. A single gift rarely feels like enough on its own.

Why it suits your fiancé

A fiancé is in the middle of a lot of planning, so a gift that is just for him is a break. Make him the hero, and keep the letters short enough to read in a minute.

Pick quiz questions about how the two of you got here, and finish with a letter about what comes next.

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 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 $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.
