Blackpool switches on about six miles of lights every year, keeps a ballroom inside its tower and sells rock with its own name running all the way through. Subtle it is not, and that's the point.
Every “Greetings from Blackpool” 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: Blackpool Tower, the Tower Ballroom and Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Blackpool rock, or the thing that happened on day two that nobody is allowed to mention.
Blackpool is a classic for a big send-off, and a game starring the bride or groom is a souvenir that everyone will actually want to play.
Fish and chips on the prom and a slow ride past the Illuminations is a proper tradition, and a playable postcard is a fun surprise for the grandkids.
Rides, donkeys on the beach and rock that lasts till Christmas: a postcard game is the perfect way for the kids to show off where they've been.
Idea 1
Blackpool is a hen and stag classic, and a platformer of bouncers, shots and exes captures a night on the prom.
Put this in
“What happens in Blackpool stays in Blackpool. Except the sunburn.”
Idea 2
Miles of prom are made for a runner, and the vintage postcard look's gulls and runaway suitcases are pure seaside holiday.
Put this in
“A seagull stole my chips. Then came back for the stick of rock.”
Idea 3
An autumn trip to the Illuminations calls for sparklers and stray rockets, so the bonfire night look fits.
Put this in
“Saw the Illuminations. Still seeing spots. Worth it.”
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 Blackpool” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Blackpool Tower. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Blackpool’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Blackpool Tower in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Danced in the Tower Ballroom! Well, shuffled. Nan says I have still got it.”
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.
Pick the Postcard occasion, type where it’s from, write the message on the back and share the link. It plays on any device, no download.
