Falmouth sits on a vast natural harbour with Henry VIII's Pendennis Castle keeping watch from the headland. It's a sailing town, a student town and a very good place to eat oysters.
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 “Falmouth”, write a line about Pendennis Castle or sailing, and it’s ready to send before your tea goes cold.
Fending off waves of emails and alarm clocks suits someone who has finally swapped the office for a boat.
Put this in
“No more alarm clocks. Just tides, and they are very forgiving.”
What to write on a Falmouth postcard
Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at National Maritime Museum Cornwall” works because it’s specific.
Mention what Falmouth is known for: sailing, or Fal oysters. 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
“Oysters, a harbour full of boats and a walk round Pendennis Point. Falmouth has spoilt us.”
“Uni is great, the sea is right there and I've finally learned which side is port.”

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
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.
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 Falmouth we’d also try story climber with the Graduation look.
Type “Falmouth” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from Falmouth”; rename it if you like, e.g. “Art School to Graduation”.
Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only Falmouth would explain, like a line about Gyllyngvase Beach.
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.
Falmouth postcard: questions
Will the game show Pendennis Castle?
No. The game is titled “Greetings from Falmouth” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Pendennis Castle. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Falmouth’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Pendennis Castle in a line and they’ll picture it.
What should I write on a postcard from Falmouth?
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Oysters, a harbour full of boats and a walk round Pendennis Point. Falmouth has spoilt us.”
Can I put myself in a Falmouth 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.
