A personalized game gift for your girlfriend 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 girlfriend. With oin (oingift.com) you play a game with your girlfriend 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 looks like
Long distance means most gifts arrive late and sit in a parcel. A game arrives as a link, and the two of you can open it on a call, with you narrating the quiz while she plays.
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
Use the first letter for what you miss and the second for the date you will next see each other.
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.
- Which city do we keep saying we will move to?
- What is the nickname only I use?
- What do you always order when we eat out?
- What did I cook on our first night in?
- What was I wearing on our first date?
Why it suits your girlfriend
A girlfriend tends to keep a gift like this: the link stays, the letters can be reread, and the quiz becomes a story she tells her friends. Give her a photo she likes of herself, not just a flattering one.
She will notice the small details first, so spend your quiz questions on those: a nickname, a date, an order she always gets.
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.
Time zones matter. Plan the reveal for a time that suits both of you, and keep the postage for items that can wait.
How to make it, step by step
- Upload an authorized photo of her; 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 story; 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.

How do I play a game with my girlfriend across the distance when you are long distance?
Write the letters about the distance and the next visit, add a quiz of your shared routines and give her the link on a video call. There is no parcel to wait for.
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 girlfriend play it on a phone without installing anything?
Yes. It plays in a browser on any recent phone, so she taps the link and plays. Nothing to download or install.
