Will it work on Christmas morning on the family wifi?

The game is small and runs in the phone browser. Once the link has opened it keeps playing without a connection, so a slow one only delays the first load.

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 Christmas game starring your brother

A brother at Christmas does not need another pair of socks. He needs a rematch. His face on the hero, the family group chat as the boss, controllers for weapons, and the taunts are the window and the haircut and the airport.

Play it at the table after dinner and let the whole family watch him lose. The win message is your one sincere line of the year. Pick Hard.

Example: Sam vs The Family Group Chat, 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.

On the day

Put the QR code in the card under the tree, or in the cracker, and let them scan it at the table with everyone watching. For a stocking, the printed postcard is the physical version: game on the front, your note and a scan-to-play code on the back, posted to a US or Canadian address. Order by mid-December to be safe.

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.
