Four-leaf clovers are rare. A St Patrick’s Day game starring your boyfriend is rarer. Your boyfriend plays games anyway. Now he can play one where he’s the star, you’re the prize, and his gaming skills are finally put to good use.
Our pick: platformer with the St Patrick’s Day theme. Your boyfriend dodges snakes and rain, grabs gold coins and clovers, 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
A classic run-and-jump with a twist: the final boss is someone he knows very well.
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
The quickest way to get your boyfriend hooked. Simple, silly and dangerously “just one more go”.
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 St Patrick’s Day 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. Family mode keeps the jokes clean. The “pints” are cartoon props and the party is a dance-off.
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 app suggests it from 10 to 17 March, but you can pick it any time of year.
