  2. Mission Control game preview

    02

    Mission Control, made from your memories

    They fly four stages with their face in the capsule's window and the astronaut's helmet. The launch switches carry the checklist you wrote for them, the boulders in the asteroid field carry the things in their way, the fuel cells carry what keeps them going, your people wait at the space station, and on the spacewalk they fetch your photos home as mission patches, each with its words. You are ground control: your name is on the radio and it says your own lines the whole way.

  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

How it plays

About 3–5 minutes

  1. Repeat the lamp pattern on the checklist you wrote for them.

  2. Dodge what is in their way, catch what keeps them going, then dock.

  3. Fetch each photo and its words home on the spacewalk, then read your letter.

Tap the switches and the thrusters, and drag to steer the capsule and to puff the suit's jets.

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.
