January is long, grey and cold. Cheer your kids up with a cosy game full of hot chocolate and suspicious snowmen. Kids love games. Kids love themselves. A game starring your kids is basically the perfect present, and there’s no batteries or plastic involved.
Our pick: flappy flyer with the Winter theme. Your kids dodge icicles and snowmen, grab hot chocolate, 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 kids can pick it up in seconds and then spend an hour trying to beat it.
Sample lines
Idea 2
Turns memories into levels. Add years and captions for the big moments (cartoon memory scenes coming soon).

Idea 3
A classic run-and-jump with a twist: the final boss is someone they know very well.
Sample lines
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 Winter 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.
No reason needed. A silly game in the middle of January is one of the best pick-me-ups going.
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.
