The Isles of Scilly sit about 28 miles off Land's End, with white sand, turquoise water and subtropical gardens that have visitors checking they haven't accidentally flown somewhere much further away.
Every “Greetings from Isles of Scilly” 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: Tresco Abbey Garden, Hugh Town on St Mary's and Cromwell's Castle on Tresco, white sand beaches and clear turquoise water, or the thing that happened on day two that nobody is allowed to mention.
A different island every day by little boat is the dream. A postcard game is a fun way to send home the island count.
The islands are the home of pilot gig racing, and crews travel from far and wide to row. Send a postcard about every blister.
No rush, no traffic, just beaches and sunsets. A romantic postcard game is a sweet keepsake for the two of you.
Idea 1
Runaway suitcases and stamps to collect suit an island-hopping holiday, and the vintage postcard look fits days of white sand and boat trips.
Put this in
“The ferry over was lovely. My stomach would describe it differently.”
Idea 2
Hearts, roses and the odd Cupid misfire suit a romantic escape to somewhere this peaceful.
Put this in
“Five inhabited islands and you are still my favourite.”
Idea 3
Climbing through the milestones of a career to a quiet beach at the top suits the slow pace of the islands.
Put this in
“Retired. My watch now runs on tide times.”
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 Isles of Scilly” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Tresco Abbey Garden. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Isles of Scilly’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Tresco Abbey Garden in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Island hopped from St Mary's to Tresco by boat. Sand so white I needed my sunglasses.”
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.
