Bristol is where Wallace and Gromit get made, where Brunel's bridge hangs over the Avon Gorge and where hot air balloons fill the sky every August. Your postcard should have a bit of swagger too.
Pick the Postcard occasion, type “Bristol” where it asks “Where’s it from?” and the game becomes “Greetings from Bristol”, with postcard-flavoured jokes you can rewrite. It finishes with a vintage postcard flying in: “Greetings from Bristol” in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. Clifton Suspension Bridge, Brunel's SS Great Britain and Bristol Cathedral are all fair game for the jokes.
Between the harbourside, the hills and the street art, there is plenty to show off. A postcard game keeps the family in the loop without a weekly video call.
Every August people gather at Ashton Court to watch the balloons lift off. A one-tap flying game is the natural souvenir to send afterwards.
Anyone who left Bristol still misses the harbourside on a sunny evening. A postcard from a weekend home says it better than a text.
Idea 1
A one-tap flyer is the closest thing to a balloon ride without the early start, and summer gulls make lively traffic.
Put this in
“Rose higher than a Balloon Fiesta launch. Landed less gracefully.”
Idea 2
A climber with story milestones fits three years of essays, hills and harbourside nights, with someone proud waiting at the top.
Put this in
“Walked up Park Street every morning for three years. My degree is mostly in calves.”
Idea 3
Bristol is a favourite big weekend away, and fending off waves of bouncers and shots matches the energy.
Put this in
“We came for the street art and stayed for the dancing. Badly.”
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 Bristol” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Clifton Suspension Bridge. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Bristol’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Clifton Suspension Bridge in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Crossed the Clifton Suspension Bridge, waved at the SS Great Britain, spotted a Banksy. Gert lush weekend.” You could also throw in “Gert lush” (really lovely, brilliant).
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.
