Bannau Brycheiniog has Pen y Fan, the highest peak in southern Britain, a waterfall you can walk behind and night skies dark enough to see the Milky Way. Bring a head torch and a flask.
Pick the Postcard occasion, type “Brecon Beacons” where it asks “Where’s it from?” and the game becomes “Greetings from Brecon Beacons”, with postcard-flavoured jokes you can rewrite. It finishes with a vintage postcard flying in: “Greetings from Brecon Beacons” in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. Pen y Fan, Sgwd yr Eira and Dan yr Ogof caves are all fair game for the jokes.
It's one of the most climbed mountains in Britain, and the moment you reach the top in a howling wind is worth sharing with whoever stayed in bed.
A clear night with no streetlights for miles is a rare treat, and a postcard is the best way to tell a friend just how many stars you saw.
Walking behind a waterfall and heading underground at Dan yr Ogof make a brilliant adventure, and a game starring the kids keeps the excitement going.
Idea 1
Plenty of people make a mountain their resolution, and the new year look's champagne and clock pieces suit a summit.
Put this in
“New year, new me, same old knees. Pen y Fan conquered anyway.”
Idea 2
A summer platformer of sunshine and ice creams suits a long walking day in Waterfall Country.
Put this in
“Walked behind a waterfall. Came out wetter than the waterfall.”
Idea 3
Properly dark nights feel a little spooky, and a Halloween arena of bats and haunted trees fits an evening under the stars.
Put this in
“Went stargazing and saw the Milky Way. Then a sheep coughed in the dark.”

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 Brecon Beacons” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Pen y Fan. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Brecon Beacons’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Pen y Fan in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Pen y Fan done! Windy, wonderful, and the sheep at the top looked unimpressed.”
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.
