A personalized game gift for your husband for Christmas: your memories as a level they can play
Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.
To turn your memories with your husband into a playable game for Christmas, 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 is, in one page
Photos show a moment; a game lets him walk through it. oin builds a small pixel world around your story, with him as the main character, so the memories are a place he moves through rather than a slideshow.
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 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.
- Which city do we keep saying we will move to?
- Which film have we watched too many times?
- What is the nickname only I use?
- What was I wearing on our first date?
- What did I get wrong on our first anniversary?
If you are shopping at the last minute
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 wait until Christmas Eve. Pair one with a wrapped card and he still has something to open.
Christmas gifts need time, so order physical items by early December and keep a digital gift in reserve. Set a budget before you start browsing.
Why it suits your husband
A husband is easy to buy the same things for. A game that makes him the hero and quizzes him on your life together is the opposite of a repeat.
Put one question in the quiz that you are sure he gets wrong, and let the NPC tease him about it.
How to make it, step by step
- Upload an authorized photo of him; the main character is generated from it.
- Write the two letters: one opens the game, one closes the final level.
- Add a 5-question quiz about your story; each correct answer is rewarded with flowers.
- Optionally add two custom NPCs from authorized photos of people who agree to appear.
- 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.
