Greetings from Chichester: send a postcard they can play

Chichester has a cathedral spire you can spot from out at sea, a festival theatre with serious West End form and Goodwood's roaring engines just up the road. Small city, big weekends.

A photo of Chichester Cathedral says “I was here”. A game says “I was here, I thought of you, and I made you this”. Choose any game style and look, type “Chichester” as where it’s from, and send the link.

Who sends a postcard from Chichester?

Theatregoers on a summer season trip

A matinee at the Festival Theatre, a stroll round the old city walls and dinner in town. Send a postcard to the friend who should have come with you.

Motorsport fans at Goodwood

Festival of Speed, Revival, Glorious Goodwood: there's always something fast happening up the road. Send the mates at home a game that moves quicker than their cars.

Sailors and paddleboarders in Chichester Harbour

A day on the water, a sunburnt nose and salty hair. A playable postcard is the ideal way to show off without actually saying 'I went sailing'.

3 ideas for a Chichester postcard game

Idea 1

Plain Sailing in Chichester

One tap flying feels like skimming across the harbour, and summer's seagulls and sunburn are the honest hazards.

Put this in

“Wind direction: everywhere. Sailing skill: enthusiastic.”

Idea 2

Birthday Laps

A fast endless runner suits a birthday weekend spent watching very fast cars, with cake and presents to grab on every lap.

Put this in

“I'm not getting older, I'm just doing another lap.”

Idea 3

Retired and Racing

Retirement's alarm clocks and emails make great baddies for someone swapping the office for the South Coast.

Put this in

“Alarm clocks defeated. Next challenge: a whole afternoon at the theatre.”

What to write on a Chichester postcard

  • Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at Chichester Festival Theatre” works because it’s specific.
  • Mention what Chichester is known for: sailing in Chichester Harbour, or Goodwood motor racing nearby. One specific detail beats “lovely views” every time.
  • Keep the ending message short: one detail, one feeling, one sign-off. It reads better on a phone screen.

Ending messages to steal

  • “Saw a brilliant show at the Festival Theatre, then ate our weight in scones. Chichester is lovely.”
  • “Goodwood was loud, fast and magnificent. My ears are still ringing. Wish you were here!”
  • “Sailed round the harbour and only fell in once. Proud of me?”

Landmarks to name-drop

  • Chichester Cathedral
  • Chichester Festival Theatre
  • Pallant House Gallery
  • Chichester Cross
  • Fishbourne Roman Palace, just outside the city

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.

How to send it, step by step

  1. Pick the Postcard occasion. Open become.games and choose Postcard. You can try it free with our demo characters straight away, no sign-up needed. To send it, you put your own people in it (drawn from a photo, which needs a plan); publishing and the link are free.
  2. Choose a game style and a look. Any style and any look work. The Postcard look (pastel houses, bunting, chip-thieving seagulls and runaway suitcases) is the natural pick, and for Chichester we’d also try flappy flyer with the Summer look.
  3. Type “Chichester” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from Chichester”; rename it if you like, e.g. “Plain Sailing in Chichester”.
  4. Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only Chichester would explain, like a line about Pallant House Gallery.
  5. Write the message on the back and send it. The ending is a postcard flying in with the place in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. Publish it (free, with its own permanent link) and share it on WhatsApp, as a QR code or by copying the link. It plays in the browser on any device.

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.

Chichester postcard: questions

Will the game show Chichester Cathedral?

No. The game is titled “Greetings from Chichester” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Chichester Cathedral. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Chichester’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Chichester Cathedral in a line and they’ll picture it.

What should I write on a postcard from Chichester?

Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Saw a brilliant show at the Festival Theatre, then ate our weight in scones. Chichester is lovely.”

Can I put myself in a Chichester postcard?

Yes. Build and try it free with demo characters, then upload a photo to turn yourself (and whoever you’re with) into cartoon characters, which needs a plan. Everyone in the photo must agree, and the photo is deleted once the characters are made.

How much does a digital postcard game cost?

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.
