Birthdays come round every year. A birthday game starring your dad does not. Skip the novelty BBQ apron. Turn your dad into a cartoon legend and watch him pretend he isn’t trying really hard to win.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Birthday theme. Your dad dodges balloons and rogue candles, grabs cake and presents, and the game finishes with a trophy 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
The quickest way to get your dad hooked. Simple, silly and dangerously “just one more go”.

Idea 2
A classic run-and-jump with a twist: the final boss is someone he knows very well.

Idea 3
The soppy one. Milestones from his story appear as he climbs, with someone special waiting at the top.

Cast Dad as the hero, the kids as cameos and the lawnmower as… well, it’s in his heart already.
Pick a game style and the Birthday theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your dad to turn him into a cartoon character. Name the game, pick a link like yourname.become.games and send it. It takes about five minutes.
Yes. Use the {age} placeholder in any line, or set the win level to his age so he has to score that many points to reach the cake-smash ending.
Yes, as long as an adult (13+) creates the account. Under 13s can choose the jokes and endings with a grown-up, and anyone in the photo needs to have agreed to be turned into a character.
Absolutely. Building takes a couple of minutes and characters are ready in one or two more, so you can make it on the morning of the birthday. We won’t tell.
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.
