FAQs
The Birthday Challenge was initially created for parents to send a fun birthday surprise to their kids, via their smart phone.
However, it has also been used by other family members, friends or work colleagues to give a fun surprise on their special day.
Why not give it a try? If you don't like it, we'll happily refund you.
It depends on the game you order, but in the Birthday Challenge you can:
- Customise the main character in the game.
- Add a photo to be featured in the background.
- Decide how difficult the game should be.
- Add a secret message at the end (with optional photo) which is shown when the game is won.
You can schedule the game to be sent automatically at a specific time and date via text message (SMS) or email.
Alternatively you can send their unique game URL to them yourself.
Nope. The game runs in an internet-enabled web browser (e.g. Safari, Chrome or Edge). The recipient just needs to visit their unique game URL using their smartphone, tablet or desktop computer and start playing. Easy peasey!
We don't recommend this (yet). We suggest hiding their vouchers in your house somewhere, and adding instructions on where to find them instead.
The game does not send any actual money to the recipient. We recommend you hide your gift/money in your house somewhere and add instructions on where to find it instead.
We only use your recipient's email or mobile number to send them their unique game URL. We store these details securely and delete them after the game has been completed.
If you would rather not add them at all, you have the option to send their unique game URL yourself (Just make sure you don't share it with anyone else!)
We use this to send you SMS notifications confirming we have sent the game and also when it has been completed.
We are working on some further ideas, but for now the Birthday Challenge is our only game.
If you have any ideas for future games, we'd love to hear them!
