    02

    Gone Fishing, made from your memories

    They are the angler on the pier, with their own face, fishing a lake you named. Before the first cast they are handed your handwritten list of what is down there, every line of it blank; as they fight each catch in, your name for it spells itself out on the line letter by letter, and your photos show through the glass of the bottles they land. You shout from the bank when the line snaps, and the legend of the lake gives up your letter.

  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.

How it plays

A few minutes they will not forget.

About 3–5 minutes

  1. Pick a shadow by its shape and cast at it.

  2. Strike on the real bite, not the nibbles.

  3. Reel without snapping the line, and watch the name appear.

Pull back and let go to cast, tap when the float goes under, then hold and release to reel.

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 is a real game with three levels. You choose where it starts and they can lower it at any time; on the easiest level it helps until they are through.
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.
