This Father’s Day, let your grandparents be the hero for once, dodging chores, collecting socks and finally getting a cuppa. Nan and Grandad say they don’t “do” games. They have never been offered one about themselves.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Mother’s & Father’s Day theme. Your grandparents dodge chores and laundry piles, grab tea and socks and flowers, 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
The quickest way to get your grandparents 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 they know very well.

Idea 3
The soppy one. Milestones from their story appear as they climb, with someone special waiting at the top.
Sample lines
Put both grandparents in as playable characters and the grandchildren as the family waiting at the top.
Pick a game style and the Mother’s & Father’s Day 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.
The third Sunday in June. The app suggests the Mother’s & Father’s Day theme around then, and you can pick it any time.
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.
Yes. A game can have up to six characters, so the kids, partner and even the dog can appear.
