Four-leaf clovers are rare. A St Patrick’s Day game starring your dad is rarer. Your dad already owns every gadget, tool and pair of socks known to humanity. He does not own a video game about himself. Yet.
Our pick: platformer with the St Patrick’s Day theme. Your dad 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.

Idea 2
One tap to play, so your dad can pick it up in seconds and then spend an hour trying to beat it.

Idea 3
Turns your dad into an action hero surviving wave after wave. Auto-aim keeps it friendly for beginners.

Cast Dad as the hero, the kids as cameos and the lawnmower as… well, it’s in his heart already.
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 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.
Yes. Family mode keeps the jokes clean. The “pints” are cartoon props and the party is a dance-off.
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.
The app suggests it from 10 to 17 March, but you can pick it any time of year.
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.
Free to build and play. Turn your people into characters when you’re happy with it.
