Day of the Dead game for your best friend

Día de los Muertos is about colour, music and remembering the people we love. A game starring your best friend fits right in. Best friends deserve better than a Facebook “happy Day of the Dead”. Send them a game where they’re the hero and you’re the chaos.

Our pick: flappy flyer with the Day of the Dead theme. Your best friend dodge skeleton mariachis, grab marigolds and sugar skulls, and the game finishes with a high five ending carrying your own message. Every line is pre-written and funny out of the box, and you can change any of it.

Day of the Dead game for your best friend: FAQ

How do I make a Day of the Dead game for my best friend?

Pick a game style and the Day of the Dead theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your best friend to turn them into cartoon characters. Name the game, pick a link like yourname.become.games and send it. It takes about five minutes.

Is the Day of the Dead theme respectful?

We designed it as a bright celebration: marigolds, sugar skulls, music and dancing, with no horror. You control every line of text, so you can make it as heartfelt as you like.

Can our whole friendship group be in the game?

Yes. A game can have up to six characters. Upload a group photo, name everyone, and pick who’s playable and who appears as friends, cameos or the final boss.

Can I add memories of family members?

Yes. The story climber lets you add milestones with a year and a caption, and (coming soon) optional cartoon memory scenes made from photos you have permission to use.

How much does it cost?

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.
