The Enniskillen postcard, reinvented as a tiny game

Enniskillen is an island town, wrapped in water between Upper and Lower Lough Erne. Hire a boat, explore the caves nearby or just sit by the water and pretend you live here.

It’s a link, so it works on any device, anywhere, with no download. Choose a game style and a look (the Postcard look has chip-thieving seagulls and runaway suitcases), type “Enniskillen”, write a line about Enniskillen Castle or boating and island hopping on Lough Erne, and it’s ready to send before your tea goes cold.

Who sends a postcard from Enniskillen?

Boaters cruising Lough Erne

Days on the water hopping between islands. A postcard game is the easiest way to say 'still afloat'.

Walkers on the Cuilcagh Boardwalk

The famous boardwalk climbs high over the bog. A climber game postcard says you made it to the top.

Couples on a weekend away

Lakeside hotels, good food and quiet water. Send one to the friends who recommended it.

3 ideas for an Enniskillen postcard game

Idea 1

Stairway to Cuilcagh

A climb with a celebration at the top fits a fresh start walk to kick off the year.

Put this in

“New year's resolution: more walks. Day one: the Cuilcagh boardwalk.”

Idea 2

Lough Erne Flyer

A sunny one-tap flyer suits long summer days on the water.

Put this in

“Captain of the boat for one day. Hit zero islands.”

Idea 3

Island Town Getaway

Hearts and roses to collect fit a romantic lakeside weekend.

Put this in

“Cupid misfired. The boat didn't. Best weekend ever.”

What to write on an Enniskillen postcard

  • Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at Lough Erne” works because it’s specific.
  • Mention what Enniskillen is known for: boating and island hopping on Lough Erne, or the Cuilcagh Boardwalk Trail 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

  • “Out on Lough Erne all day. Calm water, big skies, very happy.”
  • “Climbed the Cuilcagh boardwalk. Felt like walking into the clouds.”
  • “Enniskillen is gorgeous. A castle by the water, cosy pubs and lovely people.”

Landmarks to name-drop

  • Enniskillen Castle
  • Lough Erne
  • Castle Coole
  • Marble Arch Caves (nearby)
  • Florence Court (nearby)

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 Enniskillen we’d also try story climber with the New Year look.
  3. Type “Enniskillen” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from Enniskillen”; rename it if you like, e.g. “Stairway to Cuilcagh”.
  4. Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only Enniskillen would explain, like a line about Castle Coole.
  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.

Enniskillen postcard: questions

Will the game show Enniskillen Castle?

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

What should I write on a postcard from Enniskillen?

Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Out on Lough Erne all day. Calm water, big skies, very happy.”

Can I put myself in an Enniskillen 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.
