Paddy’s Day is about luck, music and a good time. Give your mum all three in one silly game. Your mum will pretend she doesn’t know how to play it. Then she’ll top the leaderboard by Tuesday.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the St Patrick’s Day theme. Your mum dodges snakes and rain, grabs gold coins and clovers, 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.
Idea 1
The quickest way to get your mum hooked. Simple, silly and dangerously “just one more go”.
Sample lines
Idea 2
A classic run-and-jump with a twist: the final boss is someone she knows very well.
Sample lines
Idea 3
The soppy one. Milestones from her story appear as she climbs, with someone special waiting at the top.

Make Mum the hero and put the rest of the family along the way as cheering (or chore-dodging) cameos.
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 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.
Yes. Family mode keeps the jokes clean. The “pints” are cartoon props and the party is a dance-off.
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.
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.
