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.

Can she play it without help?

Once the link is open, yes. Pick Easy: the boss waits until she throws once, and the controls are two buttons. Someone may need to open the link the first time.

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 grandma

A grandma's Christmas present the whole family can be in. Her face on the hero, biscuits for weapons, the wifi as the boss, and the taunts are the bingo streak and the tin nobody is allowed to open. Everyone signs the win message.

Open the link for her at the table and pass the phone. Easy mode: the boss waits until she throws once. The printed postcard is the version for the mantelpiece, and it needs ordering by mid-December.

Example: Grandma vs The Wifi, playing itself. Tap to take over. Yours has their face and your jokes.

Bosses that work for a grandma

The Wifi · it goes off when she looks at it
The Remote · forty buttons, she needs two
The Cat · it chose her, she did not choose it

Jokes that land

Three inside jokes become the taunts. For a grandma, think the bingo winning streak, the biscuit tin nobody is allowed to open, or the phone call that ends four times. 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

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 where she is looking at the camera. Glasses are fine. A clear face is all the cut-out needs.

Difficulty

Pick Easy: five hearts, slow shots, and the boss waits until they throw once.
