How a bar mitzvah gift game works
Three steps. You do the easy part.
Tell us what he loves
Hobbies, favorite foods, favorite places. The more specific, the funnier.
We build the game
He is the hero: his face, his room, his foods as power-ups, his name everywhere.
His world, inside the game
Not a generic hero. Your boy's actual stuff.
- His room and the things in it become the scenery.
- Favorite foods turn into power-ups. Yes, the schnitzel gives extra speed.
- His name is on everything. Banners, scoreboards, the finish line.
In the game
A bar mitzvah gift grandparents can play too
- Noah taps Invite Zayde and sends the link.
- Zayde opens it on his own phone. No app, no account.
- They play the same level together, and Zayde can send snacks as power-ups.
Grandparents often ask what to give for a bar mitzvah. Here is one they can play: in the co-op level, grandpa or grandma (or any family member) opens a link on their own phone and plays next to the bar mitzvah boy. They can send him a favorite snack as a power-up.
No app, no account, no tech support call. One tap on the link and they are in.

Questions about the bar mitzvah gift
What is a unique gift for a bar mitzvah boy who has everything?
A personalized video game starring him: his face as the hero, his real room, his favorite foods as power-ups. It is built for one boy, so nobody else will give the same gift.
What is an appropriate bar mitzvah gift from grandparents?
Something personal that lasts. Many grandparents give money or a keepsake. A personalized game adds something to do together: in the co-op level grandpa or grandma joins from their own phone and plays next to the boy.
Do you give a gift at a bar mitzvah, and when?
Yes, a gift or card is customary, usually brought to the party or sent beforehand. To give this game, order at least 3 weeks before the event so it is ready on the day.
What are good bar mitzvah entertainment ideas for 13-year-olds, or without dancing?
Put the game on the big screen and let the bar mitzvah boy play a level live, then let guests and family try it on their phones. It gives the room something to do that is not dancing.
What is an alternative to a bar mitzvah slideshow?
A game starring the boy. Guests play it instead of just watching, and it is full of his real room, street and favorite foods, so it tells his story as something to play.
How does a personalized video game work, and can grandparents play?
You send photos and tell us what he loves. We build a browser game with him as the hero, ready in about 10 days. Grandparents can play too: in the co-op level they join from their own phone through a link.
What devices does it work on?
Phone, tablet or computer, in the browser. Nothing to install.
How long does it take?
About 10 days from photos to a playable game. Please order at least 3 weeks before the event.
What do we need to send?
Photos of your kid, a photo of their room with a few favorite things in it, and a short note on what they love: hobbies, foods, places.
What happens to the photos?
They are used only to build this kid's game. We never use them to train AI, we delete them 60 days after delivery, and we ask the services we build with to delete their copies. The game link is private.
How does the deposit work?
$59 reserves your date. It is credited to the price and fully refundable until we start building.
My boy loves something that is not on the list.
Then we build a handcrafted level just for that: his hobby, his place. It is +$119 per level.
