Graduation gift from friends

A graduation gift from friends that they'll play before the party.

The housemates, the course friends, the cousins and the parents each type a message and one question about the graduate. It becomes a small show they play on the morning: a title card with their name, then a moment for every single person who got them there.

 Home Town (2/3) — the house, the library, the bus stop
Instead of money in a card

The card gets a thank-you text. This gets a phone call.

A graduation gift from friends usually means a card passed round at the pub, or a group chat that agrees on a voucher. Both are fine. Neither says anything about the four years. The people who actually watched it happen — the housemate who saw the all-nighters, the friend from the first week, the parent who drove the boxes — get one line on a card that goes in a box with the gown.

This gives each of them a place to stand. The graduate walks up to them one by one. Each says what they typed, in their own words, and asks one question only someone who was there would know. The exit stays shut until they've met everyone. At the end there's a memory book with every message on one page, to keep.

Money can still go in an envelope. This is the part that gets remembered.

How it comes together

One link in the group chat. Everyone types. You approve. They play.

STEP 01 — 2 MINUTES

Set it up

Their name, the occasion, the day of the ceremony or the party. You get one link and a short message to paste into the group chat, and to send to the family separately.

You, once.

STEP 02 — 2 MINUTES EACH

Everyone types

No account, no app. A message up to 400 characters, a colour to be lit in, and one question with three answers. Parents and grandparents manage this fine; it's a link and a text box.

Them, from anywhere.

STEP 03 — 2 MINUTES

Approve, play, pay

You read every message before anything is built and remove anything that shouldn't be in front of the parents. Play it yourself. Pay $24. It arrives at 8am on the day, or you hand over the link at the table.

You, once more.

Questions from four years

Ask about the things that won't be in the speech.

Three answers each, one right, the wrong ones plausible. Get it wrong and the game says “Not quite — memory collected anyway.” It's a gift, not a final exam. They've had enough of those.

Price, before you ask

$24, split however you like, once.

Up to 15 people and one world for $24. $39 for unlimited people, every world, a downloadable clip of the ending and no Outro Party branding. Same numbers in euros and pounds. Nothing added at checkout. If the finished game isn't right, don't pay; if you've paid and they haven't opened it, refund yourself within 24 hours from your own page.

Straight answers

Questions people ask before they make one.

Can family and friends both be in it?

Yes. Anyone with the link can contribute, and you approve every message before it's built, so the housemates' jokes and the grandparents' messages can share a world without anyone being embarrassed.

Is it for a school graduation too?

It's made for adults. The person it's for should be sixteen or older; it works best for university, college and the end of a course.

Can we add photos from the years?

Not right now, deliberately. Photos mean uploads, consent and moderation. Sixteen colours instead, which is funnier, and the messages carry the years.

When should it arrive?

8am on the day you pick, in your time zone, or you send the link yourself. Before the ceremony works; so does the morning after, when they're finally sitting still.

Can they keep it?

The link works for twelve months, and the memory book at the end is one page they can save or print. Premium adds a downloadable clip of the ending.

Graduation still a term away? Tell us the date and we'll send the invite text ten days before, with the date already in it. One email, nothing else.
