Celebrate Day of the Dead with something joyful: your husband as a cartoon hero in a bright, musical fiesta. He has enough socks. He has definitely got enough novelty mugs. What he hasn’t got is a video game where he’s the hero and you’re waiting for him at the finish line.
Our pick: platformer with the Day of the Dead theme. Your husband 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
A classic run-and-jump with a twist: the final boss is someone he knows very well.
Sample lines
Idea 2
One tap to play, so your husband can pick it up in seconds and then spend an hour trying to beat it.
Sample lines
Idea 3
Turns memories into levels. Add years and captions for the big moments (cartoon memory scenes coming soon).
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 Day of the Dead 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.
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. 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.
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.
