Make a game / Family

Carry the brand-new backpack to the school gate on the first day of school.

The big day as a family game: the lunchbox, the rain, the wave at the gate. Made by a parent; kids just play.

Three players from the game: a cat, a bear and a frog in team shirts.

What's your story?

Carry the brand-new backpack to the school gate on the first day of school. Pick one, or tell us yours.

A group of players keeps a balloon in the air near the goal.

How it works

  1. Answer 3 minutes of questions

    Like: What's on their backpack? What were they nervous about?

  2. Send one link

    The other parent, grandparents or carers (adults only). Each fills in a 1-minute card about themselves.

  3. Play it together

    A person checks every request, then we build it. Then carry the brand-new backpack to the school gate on the first day of school.

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 everyone else. A person checks every request, then we build your game and email you the link. Usually within a day after we check your request.

Who can see it?

You get one link. Send it to your people and play together. We never feature kids' games. First names only, no photos, and a person checks every request.

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. People can add their cards until we build it, and every player can change their own character in the game. For anything else, reply to our email with your link.
