A personalized game gift for your best friend for their birthday: a thank-you letter you can play

What the game is, in one page

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

The story is built from what you fill in: an authorized photo for the main character, two letters, a 5-question quiz with flowers for correct answers and up to two custom NPCs. The final level is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan; New York and Tokyo are coming soon.

What to write in the two letters

Use the first letter to name something specific they 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 they do without being asked, so passing them feels like being seen.

• Where did we first meet?
• Which trip went wrong, and why?
• What was the worst haircut in the group?
• Who told the story about the lost phone differently?
• What is the group chat called?

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 the birthday is tomorrow

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, so it can still be ready for the morning. Pair one with a handwritten card and they still have something to open.

Think of the day as a whole: a morning surprise, a gift at dinner and something for the evening. A single gift rarely feels like enough on its own.

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.
• Add a 5-question quiz about your friendship; each correct answer is rewarded with 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

It costs $29.90 as a one-time payment, with regional pricing and no subscription. Payment runs on a secure Polar checkout and Polar is the Merchant of Record, so oin never sees your card. After payment the game is generated automatically and emailed, usually within an hour, as a private link that stays available for one year plus a downloadable copy. If generation fails, the payment is refunded automatically. 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.
