This indie game turns your best run into wearable merch

by

The indie game Cairn is taking its merchandise to the next level. Instead of just offering typical items like stuffed animals or posters, they’re creating unique, personalized t-shirts to celebrate each player’s successful completion of the game.

Making money with indie games often requires more than just selling the game itself, even if it’s successful. That’s where merchandise comes in handy. Many developers offer typical items like stuffed toys, posters, and clothing featuring characters from their games, while others get creative with more unusual products.

Cairn is a realistic rock climbing game where the goal is simple: reach the top without falling. Now, after a successful climb, you can order a custom T-shirt directly from the game’s menu.

Indie game Cairn releases personalized T-shirts of your climb

The Game Bakers, creators of Cairn, have teamed up with Mighty Merch and Teemill to offer a special T-shirt. You can earn the right to wear it by reaching the top of Cairn in the game!

After you successfully complete a climb, you’ll have the chance to buy a T-shirt commemorating that specific run. The shirt will feature a highlighted map of the mountain you climbed, making each one personalized and unique. You can collect them as you improve your skills in the game!

Plus, buying a T-shirt is easy: just go to the in-game creation screen and scan a QR code to get the color and size you prefer.

Cairn T-shirts cost £35, $48, or €40, and they’re inspiring ideas for custom shirts celebrating your achievements in games like Forza Horizon 6 or even a special Fortnite victory!
