A personalized game gift for your sister: a thank-you letter you can play

What the game looks like

A game turns gratitude into an occasion. She gets a pixel world with her at the centre, a short quiz that proves you remember the details, and two letters that finally say thank you out loud.

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

Open with a moment you have never properly thanked her for. Close with a sentence that starts “because of you”, and keep it true rather than grand.

Five quiz questions to start from

Let the quiz questions be the small things she does without being asked, so passing them feels like being seen.

• What did you call me when I was small?
• Where was the first home I remember?
• What does Dad or Mom always say at dinner?
• What was the family pet called?
• What did we get wrong about the road trip?

Why it suits your sister

A sister has the longest shared history in your life, so the game can be as silly as you like. Childhood nicknames and family legends make the best quiz questions.

Let the first letter tease and the second say how much you actually rely on her.

If you want to give it today

A gift with no date attached says more than one on a deadline. Gift cards, flowers and a personalized game are quick to arrange, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.

Unprompted gifts work best when they are small and specific. Tie it to something she said recently, and say why you chose it in a short note.

How to make it, step by step

• Choose a clear photo of her 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.
• 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.
