An anniversary game starring your grandparents: funnier than a card, soppier than flowers. Your grandparents have photo albums older than the internet. Give them something new to show off at bridge club: a game starring themselves.
Our pick: story climber with the Wedding & Anniversary theme. Your grandparents dodge wedding crashers, grab rings and cake, and the game finishes with a slow dance ending carrying your own message. Every line is pre-written and funny out of the box, and you can change any of it.
Idea 1
A gentle, heartfelt climb through the years. Bring tissues for the ending.
Sample lines
Idea 2
One tap to play, so your grandparents can pick it up in seconds and then spend an hour trying to beat it.

Idea 3
For when your grandparents deserve a full hero’s journey: coins, power-ups and a boss fight.
Sample lines
Put both grandparents in as playable characters and the grandchildren as the family waiting at the top.
Pick a game style and the Wedding & Anniversary theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your grandparents to turn them into cartoon characters. Name the game, pick a link like yourname.become.games and send it. It takes about five minutes.
Soon. Memory scenes for the story climber are coming: we’ll turn a photo into a cartoon scene (1 credit each) and delete the original straight after. Today you can add a year and a caption for each milestone, and put the two of you in as characters.
Usually, yes. It opens straight from a link or QR code, the flappy game is a single tap and the story climber just needs holding one side of the screen or the other (it jumps by itself). There’s nothing to install and no sign-up for players.
Absolutely. Family mode is on by default, and a story of a long marriage told as a game is a guaranteed tear-jerker.
Making, playing and publishing games is free. To turn your own photos into characters you need a plan: £3.49 a month (2 characters in month one) or £19.99 a year (10 characters up front). Plans also unlock custom game links. Cancel any time.
Free to build and play. Turn your people into characters when you’re happy with it.
