What to write in the two letters inside your oin game

Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.

Every oin game holds two letters from you. The first waits in the opening room and the second closes the final level, so they are the first and last words the recipient reads. Here is what to put in each.

The first letter: set the tone

Keep it short and warm. Name the person, say why you made this and promise them a good story. A memory that makes them smile works better than a speech.

The second letter: say the thing

By the end they have played through the levels and answered the quiz, so they are ready for the honest sentence. Say what you value, what you are grateful for or what you have been meaning to say.

How long

A letter on a game screen is read in a few lines at a time. Aim for 80 to 150 words each, and cut anything that sounds like a card from a shop.

For a partner

Start with a small scene, such as the way they laugh at their own joke, and end with a promise you can keep. Avoid grand claims you would not say aloud.

For a friend

Tease first, thank second. A friend who gets a warm letter in a game about their own flaws will read it twice.

For family

Name specific things: the lifts to school, the dinner you still remember. Parents and grandparents keep specifics, not adjectives.
