A personalized game gift for your brother for Thanksgiving: put them in the game as NPCs and roast them
Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.
To roast your brother with their own NPCs for Thanksgiving, 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 shared memories 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
The funniest part of oin is the two custom NPCs. Put friends who agreed to appear into the game, give them lines that tease him in good humour, and he has to talk to them to get through the level.
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
Keep one letter pure teasing and let the other drop the act for three lines. That small switch is what people remember.
Five quiz questions to start from
Choose NPCs who are in on it and have agreed to appear, and give each one a line only they would say.
- Which dish is the family favourite?
- What does Dad or Mom always say at dinner?
- Which relative told the best story?
- What was the family pet called?
- What did you call me when I was small?
If Thanksgiving 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 go on the table with the dessert.
Host gifts do not need to be large. A pie, a candle or a plant is enough, and a personal letter matters more.
Why it suits your brother
A brother rarely asks for anything, which is the best reason to give him something. A game that casts him as the hero and quizzes him on family stories is easy to accept.
Keep the tone dry and the last line sincere, the way brothers prefer it.
How to make it, step by step
- Upload an authorized photo of him; the main 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 shared memories; 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
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?
It is a short video game made about someone you care about. On oingift.com you upload an authorized photo, write two letters and five quiz questions, and pay once; the game is generated automatically and usually emailed within an hour as a private browser link.
How do I roast my brother with their own NPCs for Thanksgiving?
Use the two NPC slots for the people he trusts most, write their lines like a roast, and finish with a sincere letter. Everyone who appears has to agree to being in the game.
How long does it take to receive the game?
Usually within an hour. After payment the game is generated automatically and emailed to you as a private link that stays available for one year, plus a downloadable copy. Nothing is shipped, so it does not matter where he lives.
Can my brother 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.
