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, a 5-question quiz about your life together rewards flowers for correct answers, and two custom NPCs can be friends or family with their consent. The final level is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan; New York and Tokyo are coming soon. It plays in a browser and costs $29.90. See how it works →

How to choose for a gamer
Gamers are picky about gear and often own more games than they play. Ask what she plays or glance at her screen before buying. When in doubt, a gift card or an accessory is safer than a specific game.
What she cannot buy herself is a game about the two of you.
Order dates
Hardware should be ordered by early December. A digital card or a personalized game can be ordered much later, even on the 24th.
