Remember, remember the fifth of November, and the year your husband became the hero of a firework-dodging video game. Your husband has spent years shouting at the telly when other people play badly. Time to see how he does when the game is about him.
Our pick: arena battle with the Bonfire Night theme. Your husband dodges stray rockets, grabs sparklers and toffee apples, and the game finishes with a fireworks 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
Chaotic, colourful and great for competitive types. Waves of baddies, then a boss who looks suspiciously familiar.
Sample lines
Idea 2
The quickest way to get your husband hooked. Simple, silly and dangerously “just one more go”.
Sample lines
Idea 3
A classic run-and-jump with a twist: the final boss is someone he knows very well.
Sample lines
Cast him as the hero, you as the partner waiting at the top, and his mum as the final boss (only if you’re brave).
Pick a game style and the Bonfire Night theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your husband 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. The ending message is fully editable, so the finale can say “Happy Bonfire Night, love from all of us” or anything else you like.
Yes. Upload a photo with both of you in it and we will turn each of you into a character. Make him the player and yourself the partner he’s racing to reach, or let him pick who to play on the character select screen.
