Betws-y-Coed is a stone village tucked into Eryri's woods, where rivers meet, every other shop sells walking boots and every walk seems to end at a waterfall or a tearoom.
Pick the Postcard occasion, type “Betws-y-Coed” where it asks “Where’s it from?” and the game becomes “Greetings from Betws-y-Coed”, with postcard-flavoured jokes you can rewrite. It finishes with a vintage postcard flying in: “Greetings from Betws-y-Coed” in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. Swallow Falls, Pont-y-Pair Bridge and Waterloo Bridge are all fair game for the jokes.
Gwydyr Forest has trails right on the doorstep, and coming back caked in mud is a story worth sending to the friends who bailed.
A fire, a pub and a forest walk make Betws-y-Coed a lovely escape, and a postcard is a sweet way to share it.
Swapping the laptop for walking boots feels brilliant, and a playable postcard to the team back at work is just the right amount of smug.
Idea 1
A romantic one-tap flyer of roses and cupid misfires suits a cosy cottage weekend in the woods.
Put this in
“Booked a romantic cottage. Spent the whole weekend drying socks by the fire.”
Idea 2
Dark forest trails suit the Halloween look's haunted trees and bats, ideal for an autumn ride or walk.
Put this in
“Mountain biked through Gwydyr Forest. The mud won on points.”
Idea 3
An arena of meetings and printers is the perfect send-off for someone escaping the office for a long weekend.
Put this in
“Left the laptop at home. Brought the walking boots. Out of office: on.”
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 Betws-y-Coed” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Swallow Falls. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Betws-y-Coed’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Swallow Falls in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Swallow Falls was roaring today. So was my stomach, so thank goodness for the tearoom.”
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.
