A personalized game gift for your crush when you are long distance: a gift you can play together over a call
Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.
A personalized game gift is a small pixel video game built around your crush. With oin (oingift.com) you play a game with your crush across the distance: 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 is, in one page
Playing the same thing at the same time is the closest a call gets to a shared evening. oin is short, runs in a browser and is built around the two of you, so it fits the gap between two time zones.
Under the hood it is a short pixel game with levels, a quiz and a final level in Almaty, Kazakhstan. You supply the photo, the letters, the questions and, if you like, two NPCs; New York and Tokyo final levels are coming soon.
What to write in the two letters
Write the first letter as a postcard from where you are now and the second as an invitation to the place you will meet.
Five quiz questions to start from
Make the quiz about the routines you share across the distance, like the call at the same time every night.
- What did I get wrong on our first anniversary?
- What was I wearing on our first date?
- Which film have we watched too many times?
- What did I cook on our first night in?
- What is the nickname only I use?
Why it suits your crush
For a crush, the best gift is light and low-pressure. A pixel game with a friendly letter shows effort without a grand declaration, and it is easy for them to answer.
Keep the letters short and the quiz about things you have genuinely shared, so there is nothing to feel awkward about.
If you want it to arrive tonight
Distance makes physical gifts slow, but digital ones are instant. Gift cards, flowers and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.
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.
- Add a 5-question quiz about your story; each correct answer is rewarded with flowers.
- Add up to two custom NPCs, friends or family, as long as everyone who appears agrees.
