A playable game of your special memory
in as little as 3 days
Your favorite moment, built by hand into a little world you can walk through and play. Your photos and videos go right where they happened, and your own words appear at every stop.
Two real ones, ready to play
You've got to play it to really get it. Nothing to install. On a phone, turn it sideways.
What's inside every moment
It plays like a little video game of your day: you walk it stop by stop, in order, with the light of that hour, your own words, and your photos and videos right where they happened.
My proposal, stop by stop
This is my own proposal, rebuilt the way every order is built. Each stop starts from a real photo from that evening, pinned to the corner of the place it became. Walk it yourself with the joystick on screen, on a phone or a computer.

A senior season, stop by stop

How it works
- Order on Etsy.Pick the occasion. Need it sooner? Message me first and I'll tell you if I can rush it.
- Tell me about the moment.A guided form walks you through it: the place, the date, what happened at each stop, your words, 5 to 15 photos, and up to 5 video clips if you have them. It asks specific questions to fill in what I can't see.
- I build it by hand.The place, the light of that hour, the weather, the people, and little games that fit the moment. Ready in as little as 3 days, counted from when your photos and story come in.
- You help finish it.Walk through it and mark anything you want changed, right where it is. Two rounds, up to 10 marks each, and your partner can mark too. Every new version comes back with a note from me.
- Keep it, and share it.A private link that plays on any phone, tablet or computer, plus a gift card to print and wrap.
Before you order: this is made together
I wasn't there, so the memory itself comes from you: your photos from the day (screenshots of the place count), the exact place, what happened at each spot, and your own words. That's where the real value is. My part is building it into something beautiful you can walk back into.
If you don't have much from the moment you're thinking of, choose a different one that you have more of. Not sure? Ask me first and I'll tell you honestly.

Questions
What do I actually get?
A private web link to your moment. Open it and press play to walk through it stop by stop, with your photos where they were taken and your own words at each stop. You also get a gift card to print and wrap.
How long does it take?
As little as 3 days, counted from when your photos and story come in. Holiday orders are open: order by December 19 to have it for Christmas.
Is it a video game?
Yes, a small one made of your memory. You walk through the place with an on-screen joystick or your keyboard, and each moment can have little games inside, like kicking the winning field goal. It runs in the web browser, so there's nothing to install.
Can I add more moments later?
Yes. Every moment you add sits right beside the others on the same front screen, so they chain together into your own interactive storybook. Play any of them, any time.
What kinds of moments work?
Any moment you shared and took photos of: a proposal, a first date, a wedding, a senior season or senior night, a graduation, a first Christmas, a family trip. The more photos and video you have from it, the better it turns out.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. It plays in the web browser on phones, tablets and computers, with nothing to install. On a phone, turn it sideways.
What do I need to send?
5 to 15 photos from the day (screenshots of the place count), up to 5 short video clips if you have them, the exact place and date, and what happened at each spot. A guided form walks you through it after you order.
Can I share it?
Yes. Only people with your link can open it, so you choose who sees it. Send it to family and friends and they can walk through it too.
How much is it?
$150 per moment, ordered on Etsy. Add another moment later and it sits right beside the first.
