far away and after the party
friends in five time zones?
everyone adds a card when they can. it all lands on the day, in one place, at once.
keep the whole party.
on Party and up, the site stays up after the birthday, then quietly turns into an archive. download every card and video as a zip. (free Sketch sites close 30 days after.)
it's not a board. (ok, it's also a board.)
a typical online group card next to a birthdayland site.

questions, answered.
the ones everyone asks first.
do friends need an account?
no. they open the link, leave a card and they're done. only the host signs in.
does it work on phones?
yes. leaving a card, the board and the island all work on a phone, with touch controls on the island.
what does the birthday person actually do?
three things, in any order: read every card on the board, walk the island and hug each friend (their doodles fly, their message types out, a candle lights on the cake), and play the 12 festival games.
who can see the site?
anyone you give the link to. birthday sites are unlisted: they're kept out of search engines, and only the storefront you're reading now is meant to be found.
how much is it?
Sketch free, Party $19, Milestone $39. one payment per birthday site. Sketch takes 5 friends' cards; Party takes 50 and opens every game.
when can i start one?
very soon. we're taping the last bits down. no waitlist, no email list: come back and the start button will be live.
not a card. a whole island.
make it tonight. send the link tomorrow. watch them lose it on the day.
