Red envelopes are traditional. A red-envelope-collecting game starring your boyfriend is our new tradition. Gifts for boyfriends are hard. He wants nothing, needs nothing and already bought the thing. Make him something he can’t buy: a game about him.
Our pick: arena battle with the Lunar New Year theme. Your boyfriend dodges firecracker dragons, grabs red envelopes and oranges, 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
Chaotic, colourful and great for competitive types. Waves of baddies, then a boss who looks suspiciously familiar.
Sample lines
Idea 2
The quickest way to get your boyfriend hooked. Simple, silly and dangerously “just one more go”.
Sample lines
Idea 3
A classic run-and-jump with a twist: the final boss is someone he knows very well.
Sample lines
Make him the hero and yourself the final reunion. Bonus points for casting his best mate as the boss.
Pick a game style and the Lunar New Year theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your boyfriend to turn him into a cartoon character. Name the game, pick a link like yourname.become.games and send it. It takes about five minutes.
Yes. We pre-compute the dates for years ahead, so the theme is suggested automatically. You can also pick it any time.
You choose the tone. Pick a silly ending like a dance party or a high five for something light, or a slow dance if you’re ready for the soppy stuff. Every line of text is editable.
The site is in English, but you can type your own greeting in the ending message. It goes through the same friendly moderation as all text.
