Bangor became a city in 2022 but kept its seaside soul: a big marina, swan pedal boats at Pickie and a coastal path that wanders all the way to Holywood. Ice cream is not optional.
Every “Greetings from Bangor, County Down” game ends with a postcard flying in: the place in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. What goes in the jokes is up to you: Bangor Marina, Pickie Fun Park and Bangor Castle, the swan pedal boats at Pickie, or the thing that happened on day two that nobody is allowed to mention.
Swan boats, a play park and chips by the marina. A playable postcard keeps cousins far away in the loop.
Out on Belfast Lough all day? Send a game postcard to the friends who stayed on dry land.
A short train ride and you're by the sea. Celebrate with a postcard game to the colleagues back at their desks.
Idea 1
Waves of chip-thieving gulls suit a classic family day by the sea, and the vintage postcard look matches the old-school seaside fun.
Put this in
“Pedalled a giant swan. A real swan was not impressed.”
Idea 2
A climb with milestones suits a seaside town that was recently made a city.
Put this in
“Bangor got promoted to city. Still waiting on my promotion.”
Idea 3
A runner suits a lunchtime jog along the coastal path, with meetings to jump and printers to slide under.
Put this in
“Emailed the boss from the marina. Signal was suspiciously bad.”
Ending messages to steal
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.
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.
No. The game is titled “Greetings from Bangor, County Down” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Bangor Marina. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Bangor, County Down’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Bangor Marina in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Took the swan boats out at Pickie. Wildly competitive. I won. Obviously.”
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.
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.
