Can I make it from the office?

Yes. It runs in the browser on a work laptop or a phone, and the photos never leave the device. Only the finished pixel sprites are uploaded.

Is it appropriate for work?

You write every line, so it is as appropriate as you make it. The bosses on this page are safe for any office. Play the example first if you want to see the tone.

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 Retirement game starring your coworker

Play it on the big screen at the leaving do with them holding the phone. Everything in it is what you wrote, so it is as safe as any card. Then send the link to everyone who was there.

On the day

Play it on the big screen at the leaving do, with the person retiring holding the phone. Then send the link to everyone who was there. The win message is the speech, so put the whole team in it. If there is a proper card, the QR code goes inside with the signatures.

The photo

The team photo, cropped to them. Or the one from the intranet, which they will hate, which is why it is funny.

Difficulty

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