A game starring your mom

Mom's boss is the thing she has been fighting on everyone's behalf: the unanswered text, the family calendar, the dog, the stairs. The weapon is whatever she is known for. The win message is the part that matters, because she will read it more than once.

Example: Mom vs The Unanswered Text, playing itself. Tap to take over.

Bosses that work for a mom

  • The Unanswered Text · she saw it, she is thinking about it
  • The Family Calendar · the boss she runs single-handed
  • The Dog · the one who actually runs the house

Jokes that land

Three inside jokes become the taunts. For a mom, think the time she beat everyone at bowling, the casserole that is still talked about, or the one phone call that lasts an hour. You can rewrite every line.

The photo

One she approves of. A straight-on photo from a family event works; the cut-out ignores the background.

What the win screen could say

“You beat the calendar, Mom. You always did. Happy birthday from all of us, and yes, we will call.”

Pick the occasion

  • Birthday

    She beats the unanswered text and reads a message from all of you.

  • Christmas

    She ran Christmas. She wins Christmas.

  • Mother's Day

    The Mother's Day card she keeps on her phone.

  • Retirement

    The inbox is closed. She won.

Questions people ask

Is it too silly for her?
The fight is silly. The message at the end is not, and that is what she keeps. Most mothers replay it to show a friend.
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.
