Keswick is the kind of market town where everyone in the cafe is wearing walking boots, including the people who haven't walked anywhere yet. Catbells is right there, and so are the excuses.
Pick the Postcard occasion, type “Keswick” where it asks “Where’s it from?” and the game becomes “Greetings from Keswick”, with postcard-flavoured jokes you can rewrite. It finishes with a vintage postcard flying in: “Greetings from Keswick” in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. Derwentwater, Castlerigg Stone Circle and Skiddaw are all fair game for the jokes.
It's the fell lots of people climb first, and the view over Derwentwater from the top deserves to be shared with someone who said you'd never do it.
Boat trips, paddling and ice cream by the water make Keswick an easy family holiday, and a game starring the kids is a postcard they will actually want to send.
A wander round the market, tea and cake and a launch trip on the lake: a postcard game is a fun surprise for the grandkids back home.
Idea 1
A climber suits a fell walk, and the birthday look turns reaching the top into the celebration it should be.
Put this in
“Climbed Catbells for my birthday. The sheep were not impressed.”
Idea 2
A wintry platformer of icicles and hot chocolate matches a cold, wet day out in the fells.
Put this in
“Bought three new waterproofs in Keswick. The rain still found a way in.”
Idea 3
A sunny one-tap flyer fits a lakeside day of boats, ice creams and suspiciously brave ducks.
Put this in
“Took the launch round Derwentwater. A duck tried to board. Respect.”

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 Keswick” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Derwentwater. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Keswick’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Derwentwater in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Made it up Catbells! The view over Derwentwater was worth every wobble.”
