A digital postcard from Bakewell they won’t forget
In Bakewell it's a pudding, not a tart, and someone will gently correct you. Buy one of each, sit by the river and send a postcard sweeter than both.
Pick the Postcard occasion, type “Bakewell” where it asks “Where’s it from?” and the game becomes “Greetings from Bakewell”, with postcard-flavoured jokes you can rewrite. It finishes with a vintage postcard flying in: “Greetings from Bakewell” in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. Bakewell Bridge, All Saints' Church and the Old House Museum are all fair game for the jokes.
Who sends a postcard from Bakewell?
Couples on a weekend away
Riverside strolls, ducks and a pudding each. A playable postcard is a cute way to let friends know you're having a lovely, very slow weekend.
Cyclists on the Monsal Trail
Old railway tunnels, viaducts and a pudding stop at the end. Send a game home to prove you burned off at least half of it.
Day-trippers from Sheffield and Manchester
Bakewell is an easy escape from the city. A postcard game brings a bit of the countryside back for the friends stuck at their desks.

What to write on a Bakewell postcard
- Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at Bakewell Bridge” works because it’s specific.
- Mention what Bakewell is known for: Bakewell pudding, or Bakewell tart. One specific detail beats “lovely views” every time.
- Keep the ending message short: one detail, one feeling, one sign-off. It reads better on a phone screen.
Ending messages to steal
- “Had a proper Bakewell pudding. It's not a tart, apparently. Bringing you both, to be safe.”
- “Cycled the Monsal Trail and through the tunnels. Pudding at the end was very well earned.”
- “Sitting by the old bridge feeding the ducks. Bakewell is so peaceful. Wish you were here.”

Landmarks to name-drop
The game shows the place name and your message, not these landmarks: the Postcard look’s far-off silhouettes are generic. Your words do the sightseeing.
How to send it, step by step
- Pick the Postcard occasion. Open become.games and choose Postcard. You can try it free with our demo characters straight away, no sign-up needed. To send it, you put your own people in it (drawn from a photo, which needs a plan); publishing and the link are free.
- Choose a game style and a look. Any style and any look work. The Postcard look (pastel houses, bunting, chip-thieving seagulls and runaway suitcases) is the natural pick, and for Bakewell we’d also try platformer with the Birthday look.
- Type “Bakewell” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from Bakewell”; rename it if you like, e.g. “Pudding, Not Tart”.
- Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only Bakewell would explain, like a line about the Old House Museum.
- Write the message on the back and send it. The ending is a postcard flying in with the place in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. Publish it (free, with its own permanent link) and share it on WhatsApp, as a QR code or by copying the link. It plays in the browser on any device.
Free to build and play with our demo characters. To send it, star your own people (drawn from a photo with a plan); publishing and the link are free. See pricing or read how it works.
Bakewell postcard: questions
Will the game show Bakewell Bridge?
No. The game is titled “Greetings from Bakewell” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Bakewell Bridge. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Bakewell’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Bakewell Bridge in a line and they’ll picture it.
What should I write on a postcard from Bakewell?
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Had a proper Bakewell pudding. It's not a tart, apparently. Bringing you both, to be safe.”
Can I send a Bakewell postcard to someone abroad?
Yes. It’s a link, so it plays in the browser on any phone or computer, anywhere in the world, with no download or app store. Send it on WhatsApp, by text or email, or as a QR code.
How much does a digital postcard game cost?
Making, playing and publishing it is free, and every published game gets its own permanent link. To turn your own photos into cartoon characters, or to give the game a custom link like yourname.become.games, you need a plan: £3.49 a month or £19.99 a year. Cancel any time.
