Can the kids help make it?

Yes, and they should. The boss and the weapon are the parts kids are good at. You keep the message for yourself.

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 Mother's Day game starring your grandma

A Mother's Day game for a grandma from all the grandchildren: her face on the hero, biscuits for weapons, the cat as the boss because it chose her, and taunts about the bingo streak and the phone call that ends four times. Everyone signs the win message.

Open the link for her on the Sunday and let the youngest play it. Pick Easy: the boss waits until she throws once. The postcard version is the one for the mantelpiece.

Example: Grandma vs The Cat, 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

Make it with the kids if you have them: they choose the boss and the weapon, you write the message. Send the link on Sunday morning before brunch, or put the QR code in the card. The postcard version is the safest bet for a mother who still likes something to put on the fridge.

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.
