Birthday cards that are also games
Most e-cards are something you look at. These are something you play. Fruit Ninja is the most interactive birthday card we make: swipe to slice fruit balloons, score points and win the birthday message as the prize. Arcade is a retro handheld console with a d-pad and “PRESS START” screens that lead them through the celebration.
You’ll make it in our birthday editor, birthday.myheartcraft.com.
They are perfect for kids, for gamers, for the friend who gets bored of long messages, and for anyone who deserves a birthday that makes them laugh first and tear up second.
Both are personalised with their name, your message and photos, and both open in the browser from a single link — no download, no app store, no sign-up.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a birthday card that is a real game?
Yes. In Fruit Ninja they swipe to slice fruit balloons and score points before your birthday message is revealed. It is our most interactive card.
Which is better for kids, Fruit Ninja or Arcade?
Fruit Ninja for younger kids — it is fast, bright and just needs a swipe. Arcade suits older kids, teens and adults who love retro games.
Do they need to download a game?
No. Both cards run in the phone’s browser from the link you send.
Can I still add my own message and photos?
Yes — the game is the wrapping; your name, photos and message are the gift inside.
