Frequently asked questions

A website that makes personal birthday cards with a mini-game inside. You give a first name and a few words about the person, the card designs itself, and you send it as a link. The birthday person opens it in their browser, plays about twenty seconds, reaches the cake and reads your message.

About twenty seconds for a card you keep as it comes, a few minutes if you change the game, the look and every word. Everything is on one screen and the card updates as you type.

A mini-game or an animated scene with the person’s name and age in it, a celebration (confetti, fireworks, a disco ball...), your title, your message, a P.S. and your name. The look (colours, fonts, paper) follows the game you picked and can be changed.

Thirty at the moment, in six categories: scenes from the news, sports, animals, the arcade oldies, film parodies and manga. Each one lasts about twenty seconds, has no way to lose, and ends on the birthday cake. The list is on the games page and grows every week.

Yes. The site is in English, but the title, the message and the P.S. are your words, in any language and alphabet. The person’s name is shown exactly as you type it.

Not yet. The cards are drawn and animated, not photo-based. Photos are on the list.

Yes. The sender line is free text: "Mum and Dad", "The whole team", "Your Tuesday crew" all work.

As a link. The site gives you a short link to the card, and buttons for WhatsApp, text message and email. Send it the way you talk to them. You can send the same card again later, from Your cards.

No. They tap the link and the card opens in their browser, on a phone or a computer. No app, no account, nothing to install.

No. The card stays at its link and can be opened and replayed as many times as they like.

Yes. The card tells us when it is opened the first time, and Your cards shows it, with how many times it was replayed. If you have an account with a confirmed email, you get an email too.

Yes. At the end of the card there is a thank-you: they write a few words and you receive them. It is free and takes them thirty seconds, with no account.

Yes. From the card, they can create a free account and the card stays in it, with every card they receive afterwards.

Not yet: you send the link when you want it read. Your account keeps the birthday and reminds you a week before, with last year’s card.

Sending a card costs 2.90 € in the euro zone, £2.49 in the United Kingdom and $2.90 everywhere else. Making the card, previewing it and changing it is free, and so is receiving one. There is no subscription and no pack to buy: you pay per card, when you send it.

By card, through Stripe. We never see your card number. Apple Pay and Google Pay show up when your phone or browser supports them.

Yes. Every purchase is listed in your account, under Purchases and invoices, with an invoice to download. The price and the currency on the invoice are the ones you paid.

If the card did not reach the person or did not work on their device, write to [email protected] with the link and we refund it.

Because it is a personal thing, made for one person, with their name in a game drawn for the occasion, and because there are no ads, no data for sale and no subscription behind it. One card costs less than a stamp and a paper card.

No. You can make and send a card without one. An account (free, with Google or an email and a password) keeps your cards, the birthdays to remember, your invoices and the notes when a card is opened.

Use "Forgot your password?" on the log-in page. A link to choose a new one arrives by email and works for one hour.

Yes. From the log-in page, ask for a sign-in link or a password reset with the same address: it sets a password on the same account.

From your Account page, at the bottom: Delete my account. Your cards, their links and your data go with it.

Yes, it is made for the phone first: the card fills the screen and the games are played with one finger. It works on a computer too, with the mouse.

Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge, in their recent versions, on iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows. Nothing to install.

Yes: each game has its own music and sounds, real recordings for the most part. Phones start the sound on the first tap, as browsers require.

We keep what is needed to serve the card at its link (the names and the message), your account if you make one, and the purchase for the invoice. We do not sell data and we do not show ads. The privacy page says it all.

Only to the people who have the link. The card pages are not listed by search engines, and the link cannot be guessed.
