  1. A quiz of your inside jokes and songs Our product

    oin turns your story into a small 2D pixel game with her as the main character, generated from an authorized photo. Two letters from you open and close it, and a 5-question quiz can be about the songs and jokes only the two of you know, with flowers for correct answers. The final level is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan; New York and Tokyo are coming soon. It plays in a browser, is usually emailed within an hour and costs $29.90. See how it works →
