Sometimes a card isn’t enough. Say thank you to your dad with a game that makes him laugh out loud. Skip the novelty BBQ apron. Turn your dad into a cartoon legend and watch him pretend he isn’t trying really hard to win.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Birthday theme. Your dad dodges balloons and rogue candles, grabs cake and presents, 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
The quickest way to get your dad hooked. Simple, silly and dangerously “just one more go”.

Idea 2
A classic run-and-jump with a twist: the final boss is someone he knows very well.

Idea 3
The soppy one. Milestones from his story appear as he climbs, with someone special waiting at the top.

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 Birthday 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.
The ending message holds up to 160 characters, and you can add more lines through story milestones and dialogue.
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.
Not at all. A thank-you game on a random Tuesday is the best kind.
