Wish you were here: a Glastonbury postcard game

Glastonbury mixes a ruined abbey, the hilltop Tor and legends of King Arthur with a high street full of crystals and incense. The famous festival happens a few miles away, at Worthy Farm in Pilton.

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 “Glastonbury”, write a line about Glastonbury Tor or King Arthur legends, and it’s ready to send before your tea goes cold.

Who sends a postcard from Glastonbury?

Festival-goers heading to Worthy Farm

Plenty of festival fans call into Glastonbury town before or after Pilton. A postcard game is a fun souvenir to send once the wellies are drying.

Walkers climbing the Tor at sunrise

The view over the Somerset Levels from the top is worth the early alarm. Share the moment, and the burning calves.

Couples on a weekend away

Abbey ruins, peaceful gardens and quirky shops make a gentle, slightly magical break. Send a postcard to each other afterwards.

3 ideas for a Glastonbury postcard game

Idea 1

Up the Tor

A vertical climber suits a short, steep walk to the top, with summer ice creams as the reward.

Put this in

“Climbed the Tor for the view. Stayed up there to find my breath.”

Idea 2

Festival Survival Kit

Waves of seagulls and sunburn suit a festival week where the weather could go either way.

Put this in

“Lost a welly, found a friend, kept my tent. Festival success.”

Idea 3

Mystic Glastonbury

Bats and pumpkins suit a town steeped in myth, legend and Arthurian mystery.

Put this in

“Bought a crystal for good luck. Still crashed into a bat.”

What to write on a Glastonbury postcard

  • Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at Glastonbury Abbey” works because it’s specific.
  • Mention what Glastonbury is known for: King Arthur legends, or Glastonbury Festival, held at Worthy Farm in nearby Pilton. 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

  • “Climbed the Tor at sunrise, browsed every crystal shop on the High Street, still no sign of King Arthur.”
  • “Festival done, wellies off, sleeping for a week. That was pure magic.”

Landmarks to name-drop

  • Glastonbury Tor
  • Glastonbury Abbey
  • Chalice Well
  • The High Street

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

Glastonbury postcard: questions

Will the game show Glastonbury Tor?

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

What should I write on a postcard from Glastonbury?

Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Climbed the Tor at sunrise, browsed every crystal shop on the High Street, still no sign of King Arthur.”

Can I put myself in a Glastonbury 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.
