Gower was the first place in the UK to be named an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, back in 1956, and Rhossili Bay is the reason everyone keeps pulling over. Bring a flask, a towel and plenty of phone storage.
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 “Gower”, write a line about Rhossili Bay or being the UK's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, named in 1956, and it’s ready to send before your tea goes cold.
Family camping is all chores and laundry piles, so the parents' look fits a Gower tent holiday.
Put this in
“Camping on Gower: tent up in an hour, kids asleep by midnight.”
What to write on a Gower postcard
Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at Worm's Head” works because it’s specific.
Mention what Gower is known for: being the UK's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, named in 1956, or surfing at Llangennith. 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
“Sunset at Rhossili. Honestly the best view I have ever seen. No filter needed.”
“Kids built a sandcastle at Three Cliffs, I built a sandwich. Both a success.”

Landmarks to name-drop
Rhossili Bay
Worm's Head
Three Cliffs Bay
Oxwich Bay
Arthur's Stone
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 Gower we’d also try flappy flyer with the Postcard look.
Type “Gower” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from Gower”; rename it if you like, e.g. “Rhossili Rush”.
Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only Gower would explain, like a line about Three Cliffs Bay.
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.
Gower postcard: questions
Will the game show Rhossili Bay?
No. The game is titled “Greetings from Gower” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Rhossili Bay. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Gower’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Rhossili Bay in a line and they’ll picture it.
What should I write on a postcard from Gower?
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Sunset at Rhossili. Honestly the best view I have ever seen. No filter needed.”
Can I put myself in a Gower 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.
