Can I send it on the day itself?

Yes. The link is live the moment you pay, and the game takes about two minutes to make, so a birthday you forgot until breakfast is still on time.

No, and that is the joke. Pick Hard if you want it to take him a while. He will beat it eventually and text you about it.

What photo works best?

A clear head-and-shoulders shot on a plain background. Selfies are fine. Group photos are not, since we cut out one person.

Can I change it after publishing?

You can edit the lines and message from the same device you made it on. Sprites are fixed once published.

A Birthday game starring your brother

A brother's birthday is not the time to be sincere, so this is a fight. His face on the hero, the sibling rivalry as the boss, controllers for weapons, and taunts about who really broke the window and the haircut from 2011. Pick Hard so it takes him a while.

The win message is the one line of sincerity you are allowed. Keep it short. He will send you a screenshot of his rank within the hour and claim it was easy.

Example: Sam vs The Sibling Rivalry, playing itself. Tap to take over. Yours has their face and your jokes.

You · he has always wanted a rematch

Jokes that land

Three inside jokes become the taunts. For a brother, think who really broke the window, the haircut from 2011, or the holiday where he got lost in the airport. You can rewrite every line.

Start with a photo

Free to make and play. $9.99 only when you send the link.

On the day

Send the link at midnight so it is the first thing they open, or hold it for the table and let them play it while the cake comes out. If there is a paper card anyway, the QR code goes inside it. For $4.99 more we print a postcard with the game on the front and post it, which turns one present into two.

The photo

A photo he would not choose. Straight on and not blurry is all the cut-out needs; the rest is your call.

Difficulty

Pick Hard. It takes a few tries, the rank at the end means something, and they will want to beat it.
