An anniversary game starring your mum: funnier than a card, soppier than flowers. Your mum has kept every wonky drawing you ever made. Time to upgrade: make her the hero of an actual video game.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Wedding & Anniversary theme. Your mum dodges wedding crashers, grabs rings and cake, and the game finishes with a cake smash 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
Perfect for the group chat: easy to play, easy to share, impossible to stop.

The soppy one. Milestones from her story appear as she climbs, with someone special waiting at the top.

Idea 3
For when your mum deserves a full hero’s journey: coins, power-ups and a boss fight.

Make Mum the hero and put the rest of the family along the way as cheering (or chore-dodging) cameos.
Pick a game style and the Wedding & Anniversary theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your mum to turn her into a cartoon character. 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.
Yes. She just taps the link. There’s nothing to install or sign up for, and the flappy game uses a single tap. You can also print the QR code in a card so she can scan it with her phone camera.
Absolutely. Family mode is on by default, and a story of a long marriage told as a game is a guaranteed tear-jerker.
