Spooky season needs a spooky game, and it’s scarier when the hero looks exactly like your best friend. Your best friend knows all your secrets. Time to use theirs: put every in-joke you share into a game that only the two of you will fully understand.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Halloween theme. Your best friend dodge haunted trees and zombies and bats, grab pumpkins and sweets, 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.
Sample lines
Idea 2
Chaotic, colourful and great for competitive types. Waves of baddies, then a boss who looks suspiciously familiar.

Idea 3
For when your best friend deserve a full hero’s journey: coins, power-ups and a boss fight.
Sample lines
Make them the hero, you the boss, and the rest of the gang as heckling cameos.
Pick a game style and the Halloween theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your best friend to turn them into cartoon characters. Name the game, pick a link like yourname.become.games and send it. It takes about five minutes.
