Leicester found a lost king under a car park and lights up the Golden Mile for Diwali every autumn. It's a city that loves a surprise, so surprise someone back.
A photo of Leicester Cathedral says “I was here”. A game says “I was here, I thought of you, and I made you this”. Choose any game style and look, type “Leicester” as where it’s from, and send the link.
The Golden Mile lights up every autumn and the whole city turns out. A game in the Diwali look is a lovely way to share the night with family who could not come.
Two universities, one very lively city. Send a playable postcard home to prove you are eating properly, or at least eating crisps from the place that makes them.
The kids came out of the National Space Centre wanting to be astronauts. A flying game with their own face in it is the next best thing to launch day.
Idea 1
Leicester's Diwali is famous, so the festival look is the natural choice for a postcard sent in late autumn.
Put this in
“Flying past more lights than the Golden Mile switch-on.”
Idea 2
A climber with milestones fits three years of study, with someone proud waiting at the very top.
Put this in
“Higher than the Space Centre rocket tower. Nearly.”
Idea 3
A spooky platformer suits a city whose most famous resident turned up under a car park after five centuries.
Put this in
“Parked here for five hundred years. Still no ticket.”
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 Leicester” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Leicester Cathedral. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Leicester’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Leicester Cathedral in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Saw where they found Richard III. Checked our parking ticket twice after that. Love from Leicester.”
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.
