A digital postcard from Bath they won’t forget

Bath has been soothing tired travellers in its hot springs for roughly 2,000 years. The Romans left a temple and a lot of very fine stonework; you can leave a playable postcard instead.

Pick the Postcard occasion, type “Bath” where it asks “Where’s it from?” and the game becomes “Greetings from Bath”, with postcard-flavoured jokes you can rewrite. It finishes with a vintage postcard flying in: “Greetings from Bath” in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. The Roman Baths, Bath Abbey and the Royal Crescent are all fair game for the jokes.

Who sends a postcard from Bath?

Couples on a weekend away

Spa in the morning, Georgian crescents in the afternoon, a long dinner by evening. A postcard game lets friends back home share the weekend without sitting through all 200 photos.

Jane Austen fans

Austen lived here and set parts of Northanger Abbey and Persuasion in the city. Sending a postcard from Bath feels properly in character, bonnet optional.

Students at the University of Bath or Bath Spa University

A playable postcard is a cheerful way to tell the family you've settled in, and a lot cheaper than treating them all to the spa.

3 ideas for a Bath postcard game

Idea 1

A Very Bath Christmas

Bath's Christmas Market makes it a classic December trip, so naughty elves and mince pies feel right at home.

Put this in

“Dodging elves is easier than crossing the Christmas Market on a Saturday.”

Idea 2

Bath Time for Two

Hearts, roses and the odd Cupid misfire suit a romantic spa weekend sent to the one you went with.

Put this in

“I came for the spa and stayed for the Sally Lunn bun. Twice.”

Idea 3

The Bath Graduate

A climber full of exam papers and diplomas fits the long haul from freshers' week to the graduation photo.

Put this in

“Bath is gorgeous and absolutely not flat. My calves would like a word.”

What to write on a Bath postcard

  • Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at the Roman Baths” works because it’s specific.
  • Mention what Bath is known for: Sally Lunn buns, or Jane Austen, who lived here from 1801 to 1806. 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

  • “Soaked in the spa, ate a Sally Lunn bun, stared at the Royal Crescent. Basically Georgian now. Love you.”
  • “Bath is beautiful. I'm writing this from a bench halfway up a hill, catching my breath.”
  • “The Romans had baths, we had brunch. Wish you were here, Gran.”

Landmarks to name-drop

  • The Roman Baths
  • Bath Abbey
  • The Royal Crescent
  • Pulteney Bridge
  • Thermae Bath Spa

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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 Bath we’d also try platformer with the Christmas look.
  3. Type “Bath” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from Bath”; rename it if you like, e.g. “A Very Bath Christmas”.
  4. Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only Bath would explain, like a line about the Royal Crescent.
  5. 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.

Bath postcard: questions

Will the game show the Roman Baths?

No. The game is titled “Greetings from Bath” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw the Roman Baths. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Bath’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention the Roman Baths in a line and they’ll picture it.

What should I write on a postcard from Bath?

Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Soaked in the spa, ate a Sally Lunn bun, stared at the Royal Crescent. Basically Georgian now. Love you.”

Can I send a Bath 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.
