Exeter packs a great Gothic cathedral, long stretches of Roman wall and a lively quayside into one compact city, then hides medieval tunnels underneath it all. A postcard is the least it deserves.
Every “Greetings from Exeter” 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: Exeter Cathedral, Exeter Quay and Exeter's Underground Passages, the Devon cream tea (cream first, then jam), or the thing that happened on day two that nobody is allowed to mention.
Freshers soon learn the campus is hillier than the prospectus let on. A postcard home reassures the family you're eating, studying and walking uphill a lot.
A match day at Sandy Park is loud and joyful. Send a postcard to the friend who missed it and make them properly jealous.
Plenty of Devon trips start here before heading for Dartmoor or the coast. Send a postcard over a cream tea before the walking boots come out.
Idea 1
Climbing past exam papers towards a diploma is a neat way to tell the story of a degree, start to finish.
Put this in
“Three years of hills. My legs deserve an honorary degree too.”
Idea 2
A work trip deserves the office look: dodge the meetings, grab the coffee, then send the postcard to the team.
Put this in
“Took a meeting down on the Quay. The ducks took the minutes.”
Idea 3
Waves of bats and zombies suit a city with spooky medieval tunnels running beneath its streets.
Put this in
“Went down the Underground Passages. Came back up with a new fear of small spaces.”
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 Exeter” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Exeter Cathedral. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Exeter’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Exeter Cathedral in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Cream first, then jam. That's the Devon way and I'm not arguing about it in Exeter.”
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.
