Send your boyfriend a summer game full of thieving seagulls and melting ice cream. Suncream not included. 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: arena battle with the Summer theme. Your boyfriend dodges seagulls and sunburn, grabs ice cream and beach balls, 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
Best for settling scores: put the rest of the cast in as the final boss and let your boyfriend have revenge.

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

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 Summer 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. Once a game has been opened, it works offline, so it’s great for planes, trains and campsites.
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.
It’s a lovely “thinking of you” for anyone you’re apart from over summer, and it keeps kids busy in the car.
