A personalized game gift for your husband when you are long distance: a video game starring him
Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.
To make your husband the main character of a video game when you are long distance, 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
Most gamers have played everything worth playing, but none of those games was about them. In oin he becomes the pixel hero, generated from an authorized photo, and moves through levels built from your shared history, with quiz rewards instead of loot.
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 letters like game text: a briefing at the start, a “final boss” speech at the end. Humour in the game’s own voice lands better than a speech.
Five quiz questions to start from
Make the five questions the lore: the games you have played together, the nickname from a lobby, the match you still argue about.
- Which song is ours?
- What was I wearing on our first date?
- Which film have we watched too many times?
- What did I get wrong on our first anniversary?
- What do you always order when we eat out?
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.
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
- 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.
- 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?
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 make my husband the main character of a video game when you are long distance?
Fill in a short form with an authorized photo, two letters and five quiz questions. The game is generated automatically and usually emailed within an hour, with nothing to install on his console or PC.
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 husband play it on a phone without installing anything?
Yes. The game runs in an ordinary web browser on a phone, tablet or computer, so he only has to open the link: no install, no account and no gaming PC.
