Make a new job game for your mum

Proud of your mum? Say it with a game that turns the new job into a heroic quest. Your mum has kept every wonky drawing you ever made. Time to upgrade: make her the hero of an actual video game.

Our pick: platformer with the Office & Leaving do theme. Your mum dodges meetings and printers, grabs coffee and payslips, and the game finishes with a group hug ending carrying your own message. Every line is pre-written and funny out of the box, and you can change any of it.

Group hug

Win level
20 points

One tap to play, so your mum can pick it up in seconds and then spend an hour trying to beat it.

Ending
High five
Win level
6 story milestones

Turns memories into levels. Add years and captions for the big moments (cartoon memory scenes coming soon).

Sample lines

  • “At the top: love, glory and slightly squashed diplomas.”

Who’s who

Make Mum the hero and put the rest of the family along the way as cheering (or chore-dodging) cameos.

Tips for the perfect new job game

  • Add the old job as the final boss. Very satisfying.
  • Put the whole family in. Mums love a group photo they didn’t have to organise.
  • Send it the night before the first day for a confidence boost.

New job game for your mum: FAQ

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

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 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.

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.

My mum isn’t techy. Will she manage?

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.

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.
