The Lake District squeezes England's highest mountain and its largest natural lake into one national park. Scafell Pike is 978 metres tall; the walk back to the car somehow feels taller.
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 “the Lake District”, write a line about Scafell Pike or Grasmere Gingerbread, and it’s ready to send before your tea goes cold.
Ticking off a summit is worth bragging about, and a playable postcard is a better trophy than a photo of a cloud from the inside.
Peter Rabbit, lake boats and a lot of flapjack: the Lakes are a classic family break, and the kids will love starring in a game for their grandparents.
Rain on the roof, a fire going and a pub at the end of the lane. A postcard is a lovely way to tell friends you've gone quiet for a good reason.
Idea 1
A climber is the obvious match for England's highest mountain, and the winter look's icicles and hot chocolate suit the summit weather.
Put this in
“Reached the top of England. Couldn't see a thing. Brilliant.”
Idea 2
Summer in the Lakes means sunburn one hour and showers the next, and a one-tap flyer keeps it light.
Put this in
“Packed sun cream and a waterproof. Used both before lunch.”
Idea 3
A Valentine's arena of cupid misfires and roses suits a romantic weekend by the lakes.
Put this in
“Fell for you all over again. Also fell in a bog near Grasmere.”

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 the Lake District” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Scafell Pike. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not the Lake District’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Scafell Pike in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Climbed Scafell Pike. Saw a cloud from the inside. Legs now made of jelly. Love you.”
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.
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.
