Derby's silk mill on the River Derwent is often called the world's first factory, and Rolls-Royce builds jet engines here. So it's only right your postcard from here actually takes off.
A photo of Derby 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 “Derby” as where it’s from, and send the link.
Halfway through term and the fridge is down to one yoghurt. A playable postcard home says you're thriving, and quietly reminds everyone that parcels are still welcome.
Whether you were at Pride Park or following from afar, a quick game with your face in it beats another blurry photo of the pitch.
New job, new flat, new postcode. Let the people back home see you have settled in, and give them a game to play on the bus while they miss you.
Idea 1
Derby runs on engineering shifts and office hours, so dodging meetings and printers feels just like a working week here.
Put this in
“Flying faster than a Rolls-Royce engine, and making slightly less noise.”
Idea 2
A bright, bouncy birthday look turns a hello from Derby into a party, perfect if your visit lined up with someone's big day.
Put this in
“Butting through balloons like a proper Derby ram.”
Idea 3
Waves of exam papers and coffee suit a student postcard, and the arena boss is basically deadline week.
Put this in
“Survived deadline week on coffee and pure Derby grit.”
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 Derby” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Derby Cathedral. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Derby’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Derby Cathedral in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Ay up me duck! Derby's treating me well. The cathedral tower is taller than I expected and my neck agrees.” You could also throw in “Ay up me duck” (Hello, my dear).
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.
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.
