# become.games

> become.games makes personalised mini-games as gifts. Upload a photo, we turn the people in it into cartoon characters, and you send them a funny browser game (for example yourname.become.games) for a birthday, Christmas, anniversary, leaving do or any other occasion. Games are free to make; plans from £3.49/month keep games live and include character credits. A trading style of Polarize Ltd (UK).

Key facts:
- Game styles (all 10 live now): flappy flyer, platformer, arena battle, story climber, endless runner, kart racer, beat-'em-up, survival, escape room, quest RPG.
- One game link plays all 10 styles: players switch from a Games button in the menu (same characters, look and ending message); each style has its own leaderboard. The creator picks which opens first and can switch the others off.
- 20 themes/occasions with pre-written, editable jokes and 9 endings. Optional "Change with the seasons" setting: the game re-themes itself by the calendar (Halloween in October, Christmas in December, summer, winter...) and returns to its own occasion in between; the creator's own text never changes.
- Making a game takes three choices (occasion, who is in it, your message); everything else is pre-set and editable. Previews are free, private to the maker's browser and last an hour; publishing is free and gives the link to share.
- Pricing: Monthly £3.49/month (unlimited live games, 2 characters in month one then 1 per month); Yearly £19.99/year (save 52%, unlimited live games, 10 characters up front). Extra characters: 2 for £3.49, 5 for £7.49, 10 for £14.49.
- Privacy: original photos deleted after generation; published games are unlisted, noindex and have no trackers or cookies.
- 13+ to create; cheeky mode is 18+ and adults-only characters.
