Halloween is the one night a year it’s acceptable to be chased by zombies. Let your kids enjoy it from the sofa. Kids love games. Kids love themselves. A game starring your kids is basically the perfect present, and there’s no batteries or plastic involved.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Halloween theme. Your kids dodge haunted trees and zombies and bats, grab pumpkins and sweets, and the game finishes with a dance party 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
One tap to play, so your kids can pick it up in seconds and then spend an hour trying to beat it.

Idea 2
For when your kids deserve a full hero’s journey: coins, power-ups and a boss fight.

Idea 3
Best for settling scores: put the rest of the cast in as the final boss and let your kids have revenge.
Sample lines
Let each child be a playable character (they’ll pick on the select screen) and put the grown-ups in as friendly cameos.
Pick a game style and the Halloween theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your kids to turn them into cartoon characters. Name the game, pick a link like yourname.become.games and send it. It takes about five minutes.
No. Family mode keeps it silly rather than scary: cartoon zombies, wobbly bats and pumpkins. No gore, no jump scares, just giggles.
Only a parent or guardian (or someone with their consent) should upload photos of children. The original photo is deleted as soon as the cartoon characters are made, games are unlisted and untracked, and family mode is always on. You can delete the game whenever you like.
Yes, you can pick the Halloween theme any time. In October the app picks it for you automatically.
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.
Free to build and play. Turn your people into characters when you’re happy with it.
