Is it romantic enough?

That is up to the win message. The fight is the fun part; the message at the end is the card, and it can be as soppy as you like. Nobody else sees it unless they share the link.

Can the kids be the boss?

Yes. The boss is any photo, so it can be the kids, the dog, or the two of you. Fair warning: kids as the boss is the version that gets replayed the most.

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 Valentine's Day game starring your husband

For a husband who says Valentine's Day is made up, this is the card that agrees with him and does it anyway. His face on the hero, the barbecue as the boss, and taunts from the shelf, the sat-nav and the song he thinks he can sing.

Send it at lunch on the 14th and let him play it at his desk. The win message is the sincere bit, and he reads it alone, which is how he likes it.

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

Bosses that work for a husband

The Lawn · it grows back and so does his commentary
The Shelf · three weekends and it still leans
The Barbecue · the only appliance he is allowed to be proud of

Jokes that land

Three inside jokes become the taunts. For a husband, think the shelf that took three weekends, the sat-nav argument, or the one song he thinks he can sing. 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 first thing on the 14th and it is the message they open before anything else. If you are seeing them that evening, the trailer is the reveal: record the 20-second clip, send that, and let them ask for the link. The win message is the card, so write it like one.

The photo

A recent one, looking at the camera. Wedding photos are tempting, but the cut-out wants a plain background and a straight-on face.

Difficulty

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