Every Playful Invite opens with a game. Here's why — and how we keep it delightful instead of annoying.
The reveal is the point
Psychologists call it the effort effect: small, pleasant effort makes the payoff feel bigger. A 30-second game before the reveal turns "here's our invitation" into "we made something for you — come see."
Our design rules for every game:
- Under 90 seconds, usually under 40
- One-hand playable — everyone opens these on a phone
- No reading required — the game explains itself by being tapped
- A skip button after 20 seconds — always. Grandparents, busy colleagues, impatient uncles: nobody is ever locked out of a wedding invitation.
The games so far
Make a Vector Heart — pastel bubbles drift across the screen; every pop lights a pearl on a hidden heart. When the last pearl lands, the heart pulses, confetti falls, and the invitation reveals itself.
Connect the Dots and Tie the Knot are next — one draws your reveal from numbered dots, the other lets a guest literally tie the knot for you.
Games that match your guests
The roadmap gets more personal: chess puzzles for the chess-club friends, a tiny code-fixing challenge for your engineering batch, a color-matching game for the designers, free throws for the basketball group chat. Pick the game your circle will grin at.
