Halloween is the one night a year it’s acceptable to be chased by zombies. Let your mum enjoy it from the sofa. Mums are impossible to buy for. “I don’t want anything, love.” Fine. She’s getting a game where she’s the star and you’re the one making a mess.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Halloween theme. Your mum dodges haunted trees and zombies and bats, grabs 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 mum can pick it up in seconds and then spend an hour trying to beat it.

Idea 2
Turns your mum into an action hero surviving wave after wave. Auto-aim keeps it friendly for beginners.

Idea 3
A classic run-and-jump with a twist: the final boss is someone she knows very well.
Sample lines
Make Mum the hero and put the rest of the family along the way as cheering (or chore-dodging) cameos.
Pick a game style and the Halloween theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your mum to turn her into a cartoon character. 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.
Yes. She just taps the link. There’s nothing to install or sign up for, and the flappy game uses a single tap. You can also print the QR code in a card so she can scan it with her phone camera.
Yes, you can pick the Halloween theme any time. In October the app picks it for you automatically.
