Why a card with a game

Dads who grew up with arcade cabinets get one of the eighties games remade around a birthday cake. The others get a motorbike, a bear in a car or a tennis match. He plays with one finger for about twenty seconds, then reads your message. No app, no account: it opens from the link.

The games that suit them

  • 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.
