A personalized game gift for your best friend when you are long distance: a thank-you letter you can play

What the game looks like

Thank-you notes get read once and filed. In oin the thank-you is something they play: they control the main character, collects flowers by answering questions about what you share, and ends on a letter that says what their support meant.

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?
• What is the group chat called?
• What was the worst haircut in the group?
• Who told the story about the lost phone differently?
• Which song do we sing too loudly?

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 it to arrive tonight

Gift cards, flowers and a personalized game can be arranged online the same day, wherever they are. An oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment and plays in a browser, so there is no postage.

Long distance gifts work when they create a shared moment: something to open on a call, a playlist, the same snack at both ends.

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.
• 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 $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.
