Make a game / Friends
Get the cake into the dark living room before they walk through the door.
Or carry it up the hill for a picnic at the top. Pick the birthday story, friends add a wish in secret, and you all play it on the day.
What's your story?
Get the cake into the dark room before they walk through the door. Pick one, or tell us yours.
- Get the cake into the dark living room before they walk through the door.

How it works
Pick your story
The surprise party, the birthday dinner out, the birthday hike or the big night out. Then 3 minutes of questions: their age, their favourite cake, what they're obsessed with right now.
Friends add a wish in secret
Share one link. Each friend picks a party hat and writes a birthday wish.
Give them the link
We check and build it, then you send it on the day. Every wish pops up at the goal.
Questions
How much does it cost?
You answer the questions first. To start building your game, you pick a Summer Engine plan at the end: Pro or Pro Plus, billed monthly, cancel anytime. Your plan keeps your game running, and you can change it afterwards.
How long does it take?
About 3 minutes for you and 1 minute for each friend. Start a few days before the birthday. A person checks every request, then we build your game and email you the link. Usually within a day after we check your request.
Will they find out?
Only if someone tells them. Friends get a link to add wishes; the birthday person gets nothing until you send the game.
Who can see it?
You get one link. Send it to your people and play together.
How many friends can join?
Up to 30 friends can add a wish. Play together on one computer today. Online play from separate devices is coming soon.
Does it work on phones?
The questions work on any phone. Play together on one computer today. Online play from separate devices is coming soon.
Can I change it?
Yes. They can change their own player in the game: hat, face and catchphrase. For anything else, reply to our email with your link.
