“Thanks” is nice. A game starring your coworker that ends with a big thank-you message is much nicer. Your coworker has survived endless meetings, a hostile printer and a kitchen rota. They deserve a game in their honour.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Birthday theme. Your coworker dodge balloons and rogue candles, grab cake and presents, 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
One tap to play, so your coworker can pick it up in seconds and then spend an hour trying to beat it.
Sample lines
Idea 2
Turns your coworker into an action hero surviving wave after wave. Auto-aim keeps it friendly for beginners.
Sample lines
Idea 3
A classic run-and-jump with a twist: the final boss is someone they know very well.
Sample lines
Make them the hero, the team the cheering crowd, and (with permission) the manager the final boss.
Pick a game style and the Birthday theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your coworker to turn them into cartoon characters. Name the game, pick a link like yourname.become.games and send it. It takes about five minutes.
The ending message holds up to 160 characters, and you can add more lines through story milestones and dialogue.
Yes. Anyone with the link can play, and every game has a leaderboard, so it turns into a friendly office tournament fast. Each player sets a nickname, which goes through our moderation filters.
Not at all. A thank-you game on a random Tuesday is the best kind.
