New job game for your dad

New job, new desk, new printer to hate. Wish your dad luck with a game about surviving the first week. Your dad still tells everyone he was “quite good at Space Invaders, actually”. Let’s test that with a game where he’s the hero.

Our pick: platformer with the Office & Leaving do theme. Your dad dodges meetings and printers, grabs coffee and payslips, 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.

New job game for your dad: FAQ

How do I make a new job game for my dad?

Pick a game style and the Office & Leaving do theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your dad 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.

Is a game a good “new job” present?

It’s a fun, personal way to say well done, and it costs a lot less than a fancy pen. Making the game is free.

Can the kids help make it for their dad?

Yes, as long as an adult (13+) creates the account. Under 13s can choose the jokes and endings with a grown-up, and anyone in the photo needs to have agreed to be turned into a character.

Can I change the theme to something non-office?

Yes. Pick any of our themes. Re-theming is free and instant.

How much does it cost?

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.
