Make a custom game about real people and places

What makes a custom game land

Specifics. Not "a party game", but "the trip to Lisbon, Max keeps losing the passports, collect them before the flight." One real joke beats ten generic levels.

Keep the format simple so the custom part shines: a runner, an obby, a quiz, a boss fight. The person should recognize themselves on the first screen, and the ending should be about them.

Ideas by occasion

• Birthday. "Obby through her favorite city, a birthday cake at the top, her friends are the obstacles."
• Team or office. "Survive Monday, dodge the meeting invites, the final level is the quarterly review."
• Class. "Zombie school, our teacher is the last survivor, collect homework for points."
• Couple. "Two-player co-op through the places we went on dates."
• Group chat. "The joke from this morning as a game, everyone in the chat is a character."

How to make it

• 1. Pick the person and the moment. Who it is for and why now: a birthday, a win, a goodbye.
• 2. Write the inside jokes. Three real details are enough: a habit, a place, a phrase they always say.
• 3. Add photos. A group photo puts their faces in. A pet photo works too.
• 4. Play it, then send it. Fix what is off by talking: "make the cake bigger," "slower obstacles." Then send it or play it together.

Other ways to do it

Quiz tools like Kahoot make a custom trivia round, but it is a quiz, not a game world with your people in it. Hiring a developer for a one-off game costs money and weeks. Roam sits in between: a real game about your people, with their faces and jokes, the same day.

Questions people ask

Can I make a game for someone's birthday?

Yes. Describe the person, a place they love and a few inside jokes in Roam, add a photo, and send them the game.

Can I put real names and photos in it?

Yes. Use a photo or describe people. Ask them first before you share a game with their face in it.

How do I share a custom game?

Play it alone first, then send it. Friends can play together when they join.
