Gentle challenge. A little skill, and help always arrives. Nobody gets stuck.

    An envelope addressed to them

    Their name, your name, and their own face on the seal.

    02

    The Crossword, made from your memories

    They open their own newspaper, named after them, and solve a real crossword in which every clue and every answer was written by you. Each word they find is inked in and your line about it appears in handwriting; a picture clue opens its photo whole. When the grid is full the circled squares spell your secret word, the page folds away and your letter opens.

  3. 03

    A keepsake to come back to

    Every photo and every word you added, shown large, on a page that is theirs to reopen.

Open a sample gift and see all three

What you add

Your photos and your words are the gift.

After you pay, a short form asks for the names and for these:

  • 1 face photo
  • 8–14 answers with clues
  • A letter

How it plays

A few minutes they will not forget.

About 4–7 minutes

  2. Type the answer; the pencil moves on by itself.

  3. Stuck? Ask for a letter, or change the level.

Tap a square or a clue, then type on the keyboard the game draws on the screen.

Nobody can lose. The game helps anyone who gets stuck, so they always reach what you wrote.

Good to know

Do they need to install anything?
No. The gift opens in the browser on any phone or computer.
What if they are not good at games?
This one helps a player who gets stuck, and nobody can lose. They always reach what you wrote.
Can I see it before I send it?
Yes. You play the finished game and see the keepsake before the link exists.
When do I add my photos and words?
Right after you pay. The link is only created when you are happy with the gift.
What if I spot a mistake after sending it?
Change it. The words, the photos and the options can all be changed afterwards, and the link stays the same.
How long does the gift stay online?
At least a year from the day you create the link.
Who can see our photos?
Only people who have the link. Your photos and words are used for this gift and nothing else, and you can delete the whole gift from your account at any time.
Can I get my money back?
No. A gift is made for one person from the moment you pay, so a sale is final. That is why you can open a full sample before you buy, see your own finished gift before the link exists, and still change it after you have sent it.
