A personalized game gift for your wife for her birthday: a pixel trip that ends in Almaty

What the game looks like

oin ends in a real city. Today that city is Almaty, Kazakhstan, with its mountains and wide avenues, so she finishes the story on a level with a view most people will never see in a game.

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 departure and the second as the arrival. If there is a trip you have been planning, say so there.

Five quiz questions to start from

Choose quiz questions about places: where you met, where you got lost, where you want to go.

• What do you always order when we eat out?
• What is the nickname only I use?
• Where did we go on our first trip?
• Which city do we keep saying we will move to?
• Which film have we watched too many times?

If the birthday 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, so it can still be ready for the morning. Pair one with a handwritten card and she still has something to open.

Birthdays have a clock, so order anything that ships at least a week ahead and keep the digital gifts for the day itself. A card with a specific memory beats a long message.

Why it suits your wife

After years together, the best gift is proof you remember. A game built from your own history, with letters that mention where you are now, does that better than another object.

Choose quiz questions from different years of your marriage, so the whole story is in the game.

How to make it, step by step

• Choose a clear photo of her 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.
• 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.
