PLAYABLE CARDMake one

A game starring your wife

The wife game is about the thing she has been fighting all year and winning anyway: the laundry mountain, the school run, the inbox, the holiday you never talk about. The boss is that thing. The win message is a card with confetti on it, and it is the bit she will keep.

Example: Priya vs The Laundry Mountain, playing itself. Tap to take over.

Bosses that work for a wife

  • The Laundry Mountain · it never gets smaller and it is never hers
  • The Calendar · the boss that runs the house
  • The School Run · a boss fight every weekday at 8:10

Jokes that land

Three inside jokes become the taunts. For a wife, think the holiday we never talk about, the wine glass that was definitely not the last one, or the way she says my name when the bins have not gone out. You can rewrite every line.

The photo

A photo she likes of herself. That matters more than lighting. Straight on, no sunglasses, and the background can be anything.

What the win screen could say

“You beat the laundry mountain. You always do. Happy birthday, and I will do it this week. Probably.”

Pick the occasion

    She beats the laundry mountain and reads a card with confetti.

    The holiday you never talk about, as a boss.

    From the kids, about the school run.

  • Just because

    The bins went out. Here is a game.

Questions people ask

Can I keep the message private?
The message is inside the game, so only someone with the link sees it. Nobody but the two of you needs to have 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.
