Send your kids a summer game full of thieving seagulls and melting ice cream. Suncream not included. Imagine your kids’ faces when they realise the hero of the game is them. That moment alone is worth it.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Summer theme. Your kids dodge seagulls and sunburn, grab ice cream and beach balls, and the game finishes with a cake smash 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
Perfect for the group chat: easy to play, easy to share, impossible to stop.

Let each child be a playable character (they’ll pick on the select screen) and put the grown-ups in as friendly cameos.
Pick a game style and the Summer theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your kids to turn them into cartoon characters. 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.
Only a parent or guardian (or someone with their consent) should upload photos of children. The original photo is deleted as soon as the cartoon characters are made, games are unlisted and untracked, and family mode is always on. You can delete the game whenever you like.
It’s a lovely “thinking of you” for anyone you’re apart from over summer, and it keeps kids busy in the car.
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.
