Why we make these

I'm a web developer. For my wife's 30th birthday I wanted to give her something no shop could sell: her whole life, as a little game.

She walked through her childhood, her school years, the day we met and our wedding — and at every stop our real photos and a few words from me were waiting for her.

That's when I knew other people deserve a gift like this too.

— Vlad, maker of Play My Gift

Questions

How do they play it?

You get a private link. They open it on a phone or computer, answer the secret question and start walking. No app or account needed.

What do I need to send?

After you order, you get a short form: names, a few dates, up to 20 photos and a short note for each moment. It takes about 15 minutes.

How long does it take?

3–5 days after you send the form. Need it sooner? Add 24-hour delivery at checkout.

Can I change something after I see it?

Yes. Sweet includes one round of changes, Sweet Plus and A whole story include two. And if something is wrong, we fix it — that's our promise.

Can I give it as a real card?

Yes. Every game comes with a printable card with a QR code. Print it, put it in an envelope, and they scan it to start playing.

Can I buy it now and fill in the memories later?

Yes — get a gift card. You get a printable card right away and send the form whenever you're ready, within 12 months.
