Roses are red, violets are blue, here’s a video game starring your dad. Your dad still tells everyone he was “quite good at Space Invaders, actually”. Let’s test that with a game where he’s the hero.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Valentine’s Day theme. Your dad dodges broken hearts and cupid misfires, grabs hearts and roses, 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 dad can pick it up in seconds and then spend an hour trying to beat it.

Idea 2
For when your dad deserves a full hero’s journey: coins, power-ups and a boss fight.

Idea 3
A gentle, heartfelt climb through the years. Bring tissues for the ending.

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 Valentine’s Day 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.
Yes. Nothing is sent to your dad until you share the link yourself, by WhatsApp, text, email or a QR code in a card.
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.
Yes. Editing and re-theming a game is free and instant, even after you’ve shared it. The link stays the same.
