A personalized game gift for your sister for her graduation: a thank-you letter you can play
Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.
A personalized game gift is a small pixel video game built around your sister. With oin (oingift.com) you say thank you to your sister for her graduation: the letters, the quiz and the story are yours to write, the final level is set in Almaty, and the game is usually in your inbox within an hour of payment.
What the game is, in one page
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
Use the first letter to name something specific she did, with the day and the detail. Use the second to say what it changed for you.
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 was the family pet called?
- Which dish is the family favourite?
- Where was the first home I remember?
- Who always loses at the board game?
- Which song played in the car?
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 the ceremony is tomorrow
Graduation gifts do not need to be physical. Gift cards, flowers and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment, in time for the party.
Graduation is a milestone, so a gift for the next chapter, practical or sentimental, tends to land. Work, travel and a keepsake are the three classics.
How to make it, step by step
- Upload an authorized photo of her; the main 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 shared memories; 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.

How do I say thank you to my sister for her graduation?

Yes. The game runs in an ordinary web browser on a phone, tablet or computer, so she only has to open the link: no install, no account and no gaming PC.
