Celebrate Day of the Dead with something joyful: your dad as a cartoon hero in a bright, musical fiesta. Your dad already owns every gadget, tool and pair of socks known to humanity. He does not own a video game about himself. Yet.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Day of the Dead theme. Your dad dodges skeleton mariachis, grabs 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.
Idea 1
Perfect for the group chat: easy to play, easy to share, impossible to stop.

Idea 2
Proper retro adventure energy, with your dad stomping baddies on the way to the boss.

Idea 3
Turns memories into levels. Add years and captions for the big moments (cartoon memory scenes coming soon).

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 Day of the Dead 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.
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.
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.
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.

Free to build and play. Turn your people into characters when you’re happy with it.
