PLAYABLE CARDMake one

A Just because game starring your wife

A just-because gift for a wife: her face on the hero, the bins as the boss, wine glasses for weapons, and the way she says your name when the bins have not gone out in the taunts. No reason. That is the reason.

Send it on a Tuesday. The win message is the thing you would say in a card if there were an occasion. There is not, and it lands better.

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

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.

Start with a photo

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

On the day

Send it in the middle of a working day with no explanation. That is the whole delivery. The win message can say why, or it can just say hi.

The photo

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

Difficulty

Normal takes a few tries, which is the point. Easy if they are likely to give up after one loss.

Questions people ask

What do I put as the occasion?
Pick "Just because" in the maker. The intro screen and the win message are written for it, and you can edit every line.
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.
