A personalized game gift for your friends for New Year: a quiz built from your inside jokes
Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.
oin (oingift.com) makes a personalized 2D pixel game starring your friends, which is a direct way to turn your inside jokes with your friends into a quiz 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
The quiz is the part they will talk about afterwards. Each question is yours to write, so the only way to pass is to have been there.
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 ease them in with a joke only the two of you get, and the second to say what that joke is really about.
Five quiz questions to start from
Mix easy questions with one that nobody else on earth could answer, and put that one last.
- What was the nickname from school?
- Which trip went wrong, and why?
- Where did we first meet?
- What was the worst haircut in the group?
- Which of us cried at the film?
Why it suits your friends
For a group, the game works as an inside joke you can all play together. Give the NPC slots to two members of the group who agree to appear.
Pick quiz questions only the group could answer, so the whole room argues about them.
If you are shopping at the last minute
New Year gifts can be small and still feel considered. Gift cards, flowers and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.
New Year is about what comes next, so tie the gift to a plan: a trip, a class, a habit you will start together.
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 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.
