Beat the winter blues by sending your husband a game where he dodges icicles in his best woolly hat. Forget the aftershave gift set. Your husband will be showing this to everyone at work by lunchtime, mostly to complain about the difficulty.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Winter theme. Your husband dodges icicles and snowmen, grabs hot chocolate, and the game finishes with a slow dance 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 husband hooked. Simple, silly and dangerously “just one more go”.
Sample lines
Idea 2
A classic run-and-jump with a twist: the final boss is someone he knows very well.
Sample lines
Idea 3
The soppy one. Milestones from his story appear as he climbs, with someone special waiting at the top.
Sample lines
Cast him as the hero, you as the partner waiting at the top, and his mum as the final boss (only if you’re brave).
Pick a game style and the Winter theme in the app, play it free with demo characters, then upload a photo of your husband 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.
No reason needed. A silly game in the middle of January is one of the best pick-me-ups going.
