Idea 1
Rathlin Ferry Flyer
- Game style
- 🐦 Flappy flyer
- Look
- 📮 Postcard
Runaway suitcases and seabirds suit a ferry trip to Rathlin, and the vintage postcard look fits a seaside town.
Put this in
“Saw puffins on Rathlin. The seagulls were jealous.”
Northern Ireland
Wish you were here: a Ballycastle postcard game
Ballycastle is a proper seaside town where the Glens of Antrim meet the sea. Hop on the ferry to Rathlin Island for puffins, or come for the Ould Lammas Fair and a bag of yellowman.
It’s a link, so it works on any device, anywhere, with no download. Choose a game style and a look (the Postcard look has chip-thieving seagulls and runaway suitcases), type “Ballycastle”, write a line about Ballycastle Beach or the Ould Lammas Fair, and it’s ready to send before your tea goes cold.

What to write on a Ballycastle postcard
- Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at Ballycastle Marina” works because it’s specific.
- Mention what Ballycastle is known for: the Ould Lammas Fair, or yellowman and dulse. 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
- “Got the ferry to Rathlin and saw puffins! Tiny, brilliant, completely worth it.”
- “At the Lammas Fair. Bought you yellowman. Ate some of it. Sorry.”
- “Ballycastle beach at sunset with Fair Head in the distance. 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 Ballycastle we’d also try flappy flyer with the Postcard look.
- Type “Ballycastle” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from Ballycastle”; rename it if you like, e.g. “Rathlin Ferry Flyer”.
- Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only Ballycastle would explain, like a line about Fair Head.
- 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.
Ballycastle postcard: questions
Will the game show Ballycastle Beach?
No. The game is titled “Greetings from Ballycastle” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Ballycastle Beach. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Ballycastle’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Ballycastle Beach in a line and they’ll picture it.
What should I write on a postcard from Ballycastle?
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Got the ferry to Rathlin and saw puffins! Tiny, brilliant, completely worth it.”
Can I put myself in a Ballycastle postcard?
Yes. Build and try it free with demo characters, then upload a photo to turn yourself (and whoever you’re with) into cartoon characters, which needs a plan. Everyone in the photo must agree, and the photo is deleted once the characters are made.
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.
