Create A Personalized Search-and-Find Book

It's a beautifully illustrated activity book where you, or whoever you're gifting it to, appear as a hidden character on every page. Each spread is packed with hundreds of illustrated figures, and somewhere in that crowd is you. The challenge is finding yourself before anyone else does. Each book features multiple richly illustrated double-page scenes with plenty of hiding spots to keep even the sharpest eyes busy. You can also add a personalized message to include in the printed book.

When you upload your photo, our system creates a custom illustrated version of you. You select what costume you want to wear and we place your character throughout the book. It's clearly recognisable as you, just drawn in our signature illustration style. You can preview your character before you create the book.

Absolutely. That's actually the most popular way to use it. Upload a photo of a friend, partner, parent, grandparent, or child and give them the gift of being hidden in their own illustrated world. It makes a completely original and memorable gift for birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, or just because.
