A short ferry across the Solent and suddenly it's every childhood holiday at once: crazy golf, cream teas and jars of coloured sand from Alum Bay. Plus actual dinosaur footprints on the beach.
Pick the Postcard occasion, type “Isle of Wight” where it asks “Where’s it from?” and the game becomes “Greetings from Isle of Wight”, with postcard-flavoured jokes you can rewrite. It finishes with a vintage postcard flying in: “Greetings from Isle of Wight” in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. The Needles, Osborne, Queen Victoria's seaside home and Carisbrooke Castle are all fair game for the jokes.
The Isle of Wight Festival is a proper island adventure. Send the friends who missed it a game, preferably before your voice goes.
Dinosaur hunting, castles and the chairlift down to Alum Bay. Let the kids make their own game to send to the grandparents.
The famous August regatta fills Cowes with boats and parties. Send a playable postcard to the crew who stayed on dry land.
Idea 1
Runaway suitcases and stamps to collect suit a ferry hop across the Solent, and the vintage seaside look matches the island holiday mood.
Put this in
“Shortest ferry ride ever. Longest queue for the car deck.”
Idea 2
Easter's rabbits and eggs suit a spring break on an island famous for dinosaur fossils.
Put this in
“Found an egg. Pretty sure it's chocolate, not dinosaur.”
Idea 3
A climber with milestones and someone waiting at the top suits a birthday getaway across the water.
Put this in
“Another year older, but nowhere near as old as the fossils here.”

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 Isle of Wight” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw The Needles. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Isle of Wight’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention The Needles in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Saw the Needles, rode the chairlift and filled a jar with coloured sand. Feeling ten again.”
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.
