Why a card with a game

At fifty, pick the arcade shooter they played as a teenager, the tennis match for the Sunday player, or the motorbike record for the one who is not slowing down. One finger, twenty seconds, and the cake at the end says 50.

The games that suit them

  • Arcade birthday card: Rows of invaders marching down the screen, the classic of 1978. Except they are spices, and they want the cake.
  • Tennis birthday card: A racket with no strings, a top player laughing about it online, and the strangest drill in tennis. On a birthday card.
  • Motorcycle birthday card: A rider in China crossed more than twenty-five miles of water on a motorbike, for a record. This one is for the bikers.

What to write in a 50th birthday card

The message is yours. If you need a start:

  • “Happy 50th! Fifty years young and still going strong.”
  • “Half a century of being awesome. Happy birthday!”
  • “Cheers to fifty years. Here is to fifty more.”

Questions

Can I put their name in the 50th 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.
