Bonfire Night is cold, damp and smells of sparklers. Warm things up with a game starring your mum. Your mum will pretend she doesn’t know how to play it. Then she’ll top the leaderboard by Tuesday.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Bonfire Night theme. Your mum dodges stray rockets, grabs sparklers and toffee apples, and the game finishes with a group hug 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 mum hooked. Simple, silly and dangerously “just one more go”.
Sample lines
Idea 2
A classic run-and-jump with a twist: the final boss is someone she knows very well.
Sample lines
Idea 3
Chaotic, colourful and great for competitive types. Waves of baddies, then a boss who looks suspiciously familiar.

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 Bonfire Night 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.

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.
