Diwali game for your grandparents

Diwali is the festival of light. Light up their phone with a game where your grandparents chase away the dark clouds. Grandparents love seeing the family. They’ll love it even more as wobbly cartoons in a game they can play on the tablet.

Our pick: flappy flyer with the Diwali theme. Your grandparents dodge dark clouds, grab diyas and sweets, 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.

Diwali game for your grandparents: FAQ

How do I make a Diwali game for my grandparents?

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

Does the app know when Diwali is?

Yes. We keep a table of Diwali dates for years ahead, so the theme is suggested automatically around the festival. You can pick it any time.

Can grandparents play it without help?

Usually, yes. It opens straight from a link or QR code, the flappy game is a single tap and the story climber just needs holding one side of the screen or the other (it jumps by itself). There’s nothing to install and no sign-up for players.

Can I write the greeting in my own words?

Yes. Every line, including the ending message and signature, is editable.

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.
