Why a card with a game

Grandfathers get the easy, funny ones: the deer at the window, the grumpy donkey, the bear in the car. It opens from a text in his phone browser, plays for about twenty seconds with one finger, and always ends on a cake with his name.

The games that suit them

  • Deer birthday card: In Wisconsin a deer came into an apartment through one window and left through another. It is now a birthday card.
  • Donkey birthday card: A grumpy donkey at the top of the girders, rolling barrels, and one hero with a song. A retro climb for a birthday.
  • 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.
