Why a card with a game
The eighties and arcade games are made for this age. For the sporty ones there is the backyard ultra, and for the ones who want to laugh, the bear stuck in a car. The 40 is in the game with their name.
The games that suit them
- 80s birthday card: The yellow-dot maze of every eighties arcade, remade for a birthday: candy instead of dots, and a cake in the middle.
- Running birthday card: A world record in Belgium: 124 loops of the same backyard, more than five days of running. For the runners, one more lap.
- Bear birthday card: A black bear wandered into an unlocked car in Alaska and could not get out. The police came. We added a cake.

Questions
Can I put their name in the 40th birthday card?
Yes. Their first name and age are written into the game itself. You choose the title, the message, a P.S., the celebration at the end, the colours and the fonts, and you can switch between the 30 games without losing your words.
How much does it cost?
Making and previewing the card is free. Sending it costs 2.60 € in the euro zone, £2.20 in the United Kingdom and $2.90 everywhere else, once, with no subscription.
How do they open it?
From a link, sent on WhatsApp, by text or by email. It opens in their browser, on a phone or a computer, with no app and no account, and the link does not expire. You are told when they open it.
Can they lose the game?
No. Every game lasts about twenty seconds and always ends on the birthday cake with their name, whatever they do.
