A personalized game gift for your partner for their graduation: a video game starring them

Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.

To make your partner the main character of a video game for their graduation, give them a personalized 2D pixel game from oin (oingift.com). They become 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

A video game starring them is the one title they cannot buy. It is short, runs in a browser on a phone or a laptop, and carries your letters and a quiz that only the two of you can pass.

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.

  • What did I get wrong on our first anniversary?
  • What was I wearing on our first date?
  • Where did we first meet?
  • What is the nickname only I use?
  • What do you always order when we eat out?

If the ceremony 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. Pair one with a card with a few words on how proud you are.

Consider whether the budget is better spent on a party or a gift. A personal note about what you saw along the way costs nothing and is remembered.

Why it suits your partner

A partner appreciates a gift that is clearly about the two of you without pinning a label on it. Keep the letters honest and the quiz light.

Use the quiz for the small routines you built together, since those are what make a partnership feel like yours.

How to make it, step by step

  • Upload an authorized photo of them; 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.
  • Write five quiz questions with their answers; every correct answer gives flowers.
  • Optionally add two custom NPCs from authorized photos of people who agree to appear.
  • 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.
