Make a resolution you can actually keep: send your husband a funny New Year game. He has enough socks. He has definitely got enough novelty mugs. What he hasn’t got is a video game where he’s the hero and you’re waiting for him at the finish line.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the New Year theme. Your husband dodges hangover clouds, grabs champagne and clock pieces, 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.
Idea 1
Perfect for the group chat: easy to play, easy to share, impossible to stop.
Sample lines
Idea 2
Chaotic, colourful and great for competitive types. Waves of baddies, then a boss who looks suspiciously familiar.
Sample lines
Idea 3
For when your husband deserves a full hero’s journey: coins, power-ups and a boss fight.
Sample lines
Cast him as the hero, you as the partner waiting at the top, and his mum as the final boss (only if you’re brave).
Pick a game style and the New Year theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your husband 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. In the story climber each milestone has a year and a caption (cartoon memory scenes are coming soon), so you can turn the year into a game.
Yes. Upload a photo with both of you in it and we will turn each of you into a character. Make him the player and yourself the partner he’s racing to reach, or let him pick who to play on the character select screen.
Yes. Games stay live while your plan is active, so it’s a keepsake rather than a one-night thing.

Free to build and play. Turn your people into characters when you’re happy with it.
