Cardiff keeps a castle in the middle of its shopping streets and a national stadium right in the city centre. On match days the whole place sings, whether it knows the words or not.
Every “Greetings from Cardiff” 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: Cardiff Castle, Wales Millennium Centre and the Senedd, rugby match days, or the thing that happened on day two that nobody is allowed to mention.
A Six Nations weekend in Cardiff is something else, and a postcard game is a fun way to share the noise with mates who missed out.
A capital city, a bay and a castle on the way to lectures: a playable postcard home is a cheerful way to say it's all going well.
New job, new flat, new city. A postcard game is a fun way to invite friends and family to come and visit.
Idea 1
Match days and stag weekends fill the city with singing crowds, so the stag and hen look's bouncers and pints fit.
Put this in
“Lost my voice singing at the rugby. Found a Welsh cake in my pocket.”
Idea 2
A climber with story milestones suits the journey from freshers to finals, with family waiting proudly at the top.
Put this in
“Three years, one degree and more Welsh cakes than lectures attended.”
Idea 3
A runner suits a loop round Cardiff Bay on a sunny day, with summer gulls to jump and ice creams to grab.
Put this in
“Cardiff Bay in the sunshine. The seagulls have clocked my ice cream.”
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 Cardiff” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Cardiff Castle. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Cardiff’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Cardiff Castle in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Croeso from Cardiff! Castle this morning, the Bay this afternoon, Welsh cakes all day.” You could also throw in “Croeso” (welcome).
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.
