Digital invites - a video game fairy tale romance



Although our one true love is print, sometimes our eye wanders off to the digital world. It was during one of these electronic escapades that we stumbled upon I&H - the cutest, most talented couple ever!
Having been together since high school, and sharing the same passion for role-playing games and animé series, I&H decided to take their wedding to the next level by creating an entirely original video game wedding invitation!
Inspired by the Final Fantasy series, the couple devised an intriguing plot and created unique characters and dialogues for each guest (that's right: each guest received it's own personalized version of the game!).
Here's how it all worked. Guests were invited to download the game and try their best to help the groom to find his way into the arms of his beloved bride. But if you think this would just be a quick and easy task, think again. They had to escape from a destroyed city, find their way through magical forests, find clues, fight baddies and even answer riddles related to the bride and groom!
After all the fun of helping the groom to reach his happy ending, the guest/player, arrives at a digital version of the wedding reception, where all the invitation is presented.
My one and only question to the couple was: "How long did it take you guys to make this?" To which they replied smiling: "Don't even ask!"
Hard work for sure, but it was worth it :)
