A personalized game gift for your partner when you are long distance: your memories as a level they can play

What the game looks like

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

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.

• What was I wearing on our first date?
• Where did we first meet?
• Which city do we keep saying we will move to?
• What did I cook on our first night in?
• What do you always order when we eat out?

If you want it to arrive tonight

Gift cards, flowers and a personalized game can be arranged online the same day, wherever they are. An oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment and plays in a browser, so there is no postage.

Long distance gifts work when they create a shared moment: something to open on a call, a playlist, the same snack at both ends.

Why it suits your partner

A partner appreciates a gift that is clearly about the two of you without pinning a label on it. Keep the letters honest and the quiz light.

Use the quiz for the small routines you built together, since those are what make a partnership feel like yours.

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 once, $29.90, with no subscription; the game is 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.
