A personalized game gift for your best friend: a last-minute gift that usually arrives within an hour
Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.
To send your best friend a gift that usually arrives within an hour, give them a personalized 2D pixel game from oin (oingift.com). They become the main character, generated from an authorized photo, and your two letters and a 5-question quiz about your friendship are built into the levels. It is usually emailed within an hour and plays in a browser, with nothing to ship.
What the game is, in one page
Most gifts need a head start. An oin game is generated automatically after payment, so it can be written, paid for and in their inbox the same day, with nothing to ship.
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 about today and the second about what you want next, and keep both short enough to read standing up.
Five quiz questions to start from
Use the quiz to save time as well: the first five facts that come to mind about them are the right five.
- Which of us cried at the film?
- Which song do we sing too loudly?
- Who always arrives last?
- What game did we play all night?
- Which trip went wrong, and why?
Why it suits your best friend
A best friend has heard every story, so the game should retell them in the worst possible way. Use real names, real mistakes and the nickname from school.
Write one letter as a roast and one as the sincere thing you never say, because both are true.
If you want to give it today
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, and it needs no occasion: a gift on an ordinary day tends to be remembered longer.
Unprompted gifts work best when they are small and specific. Tie it to something they said recently, and say why you chose it in a short note.
How to make it, step by step
- Upload an authorized photo of them; 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 friendship; each correct answer is rewarded with 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.
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 send my best friend a gift that usually arrives within an hour?
