Father’s Day gifts usually come in three flavours: socks, mugs and more socks. Give your husband a game instead. Your husband has spent years shouting at the telly when other people play badly. Time to see how he does when the game is about him.
Our pick: platformer with the Mother’s & Father’s Day theme. Your husband dodges chores and laundry piles, grabs tea and socks and flowers, and the game finishes with a trophy 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
Proper retro adventure energy, with your husband stomping baddies on the way to the boss.
Sample lines
Idea 2
The quickest way to get your husband hooked. Simple, silly and dangerously “just one more go”.
Sample lines
Idea 3
Best for settling scores: put the rest of the cast in as the final boss and let your husband have revenge.
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).
