A personalized game gift for your best friend for their 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 best friend. With oin (oingift.com) you say thank you to your best friend for their 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 looks like
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
Open with a moment you have never properly thanked them 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 they do without being asked, so passing them feels like being seen.
- What game did we play all night?
- Who always arrives last?
- What is the group chat called?
- Which trip went wrong, and why?
- Which of us cried at the film?
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 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 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.
