Retirement means golf, lie-ins and finally fixing the shed. Send your best friend off with a game in their honour. You and your best friend have survived bad haircuts, worse exes and that one holiday. Celebrate with a game starring the pair of you.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Retirement theme. Your best friend dodge alarm clocks and emails, grab golf balls and pints, 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
The quickest way to get your best friend hooked. Simple, silly and dangerously “just one more go”.

Idea 2
A gentle, heartfelt climb through the years. Bring tissues for the ending.

Idea 3
Chaotic, colourful and great for competitive types. Waves of baddies, then a boss who looks suspiciously familiar.
Sample lines
Make them the hero, you the boss, and the rest of the gang as heckling cameos.
