A hen party gift: the bride-to-be, as the hero of her own video game

How a hen party game works

1. Tell us who they are

   Our guide asks the right questions, about 10 minutes: what the bride is like, how she met her partner, the friendship group and the stories you can tell (and the ones you can't). It saves itself and you can finish another day. Photos if you like, for their pixel portrait.

2. We write and build their game

   We show you the script before building it. It's ready 7 days after we have their full story, or in 72 hours with the rush option.

3. Give it to them at the hen party

   They get a private link. It plays on a phone, a computer or the TV, with nothing to install.

Ideas for what their game could include

• How she met her partner

  A chapter about the first date as told by her friends, who always remember it better than she does.

• The girls as characters

  Every friend with her line and her role in the group: the organiser, the one who cries at weddings, the one who never answers the group chat.

• The group's dance

  A rhythm minigame to the routine you've known since school, to play in turns on the TV.

• Wedding planning as final boss

  The seating plan, the guest list, the budget spreadsheet. Affectionate humour, nothing she can't show her family.

How to give it

Put it on the TV of the cottage or the Airbnb during the calm part of the evening. The bride plays, everyone else watches: they're all in it.

Scenes their game could have

• 

  Their home

  Their living room, their sofa and their dog, who always eats what he shouldn't. Every corner hides a memory.

• 

  The family meal

  Grandma's paella is a puzzle: rice, beans… and the crispy bottom has to be earned. After lunch, the family quiz.

Why it's different

Not a template with their name on it

Some “personalised” games swap the hero's name and little else. We write a story with chapters, and what really happens in their life becomes what you play. Three examples from the demo:

1. What we were told“At his niece's wedding in 1998, he took the waiter carrying the four-tier cake for a cha-cha-cha.”

   What you playA rhythm minigame: you dance with the waiter to the beat… and the cake ends up on the floor, just like that day.

2. What we were told“His little dog Biscuit eats whatever she shouldn't.”

   What you playA puzzle: Biscuit has the car key. You have to fill her bowl so she drops it.

3. What we were told“His old Mini hardly ever starts: every Sunday he pushes it down the road with his mate and the neighbours.”

   What you playA race against the clock pushing the Mini down the road, collecting cha-cha records on the way.

Every game is directed by a person in the studio: they write the humour for that person, play it all the way through and nothing ships without their OK. 16-bit pixel art and original music, composed for the studio.
