A personalized game gift for your boyfriend for his birthday: your memories as a level they can play

Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.

To turn your memories with your boyfriend into a playable game for his birthday, give him a personalized 2D pixel game from oin (oingift.com). He becomes the main character, generated from an authorized photo, and your two letters and a 5-question quiz about your story are built into the levels. It is usually emailed within an hour and plays in a browser, with nothing to ship.

What the game looks like

Instead of a scrapbook he flicks through once, the memories become levels: a quiz built from real details, two letters that frame the journey and a final level in a real city.

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

Write the first letter as the opening line of a story and the second as its last page, and let the quiz fill the middle.

Five quiz questions to start from

Pick the five questions from different years so the quiz itself tells the story in order.

  • What is the nickname only I use?
  • Which film have we watched too many times?
  • What do you always order when we eat out?
  • Where did we first meet?
  • What did I cook on our first night in?

Why it suits your boyfriend

A boyfriend who says he does not want anything usually enjoys being surprised by something silly and sincere. A game does both, and a short letter is easier to read than a speech is to hear.

Lean on humour in the quiz and keep the sincere line for the end, where it lands without embarrassing him.

If the birthday is tomorrow

Leaving it late is easy to fix: Gift cards, flowers and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment. Add a cake or a card for the table.

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 him that you are authorized to use, and the pixel character is generated from it.
  • Write the two letters: one opens the game, one closes 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 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.

What is a personalized 2D game gift and how does oingift.com make one?

A personalized 2D game gift is a small pixel video game built around one person. oingift.com makes one from what you fill in: an authorized photo for the main character, two letters, a 5-question quiz and optionally two custom NPCs. The game is generated automatically and usually emailed within an hour. See the custom game gift page.

How do I turn my memories with my boyfriend into a playable game for his birthday?

List the moments you would put in a photo book, write one letter for the beginning and one for now, and let the quiz do the rest. The private link stays available for a year, with a copy to download.

How long does it take to receive the game?

About an hour in most cases. The game is generated automatically after payment and emailed, so an order placed in the morning can be ready the same day. There is no parcel and no customs.

Can my boyfriend play it on a phone without installing anything?

Yes. It plays in a browser on any recent phone, so he taps the link and plays. Nothing to download or install.
