Gifting, gamified

Create unique, personalised, video game experiences for family and friends.

Hate giving your kids money for their birthday?

I certainly do. 

I know it’s what mine want, they’re always saving towards a new computer, clothes, or whatever. And encouraging saving is good, but...

It feels so empty and meaningless.

I miss the days of surprising them with something they weren’t expecting.

I miss the delight of watching them unwrap it to discover what’s inside.

So I wondered if we could reignite that magic somehow?

That's why we've built Piknik.

Tim Cooper - Founder of Piknik Games

A Piknik game is like an e-card, but a little more personalised and a lot more fun.

They’re customisable video games that you can use to send a secret message to a friend or loved one. 

Players must beat the game to unlock the message, voucher code, or clue you've hidden inside.
