Overview
become.games lets you upload a photo, transform the people in it into cartoon characters, and place them inside a short, humorous browser game. You control the game style, occasion, jokes, and ending – we handle the drawing, hosting, and permanent link.
How It Works
- Upload a photo of people who have agreed to be featured.
- Choose from ten distinct game styles; each keeps its own leaderboard.
- Personalise the experience with custom jokes, messages, and a final scene.
- Publish for free and share via a permanent web link.
Key Features
- Completely free to make, play, and publish – every game receives its own lasting URL.
- Ten game styles in one link – players can switch between styles while keeping the same characters, look, and your closing message.
- Seasonal themes – opt‑in to automatically dress up the game for Halloween, Christmas, summer, winter, etc., while your custom text stays unchanged.
- No downloads required – runs in any modern browser on phones, tablets, and computers; can be added to a home screen for an app‑like feel.
- Privacy‑first design – games are unlisted, not indexed by search engines, and contain no trackers or cookies.
- Instant character generation – original photos are deleted immediately after cartoon extraction; only the stylised characters are stored.
