Loch Lomond digital postcards that beat a photo of the view

Less than an hour from Glasgow, Loch Lomond is where city folk go to breathe. Climb Conic Hill for the view over the islands, then sing the famous song badly all the way home.

A photo of Ben Lomond 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 “Loch Lomond” as where it’s from, and send the link.

Who sends a postcard from Loch Lomond?

Day-trippers from Glasgow

A quick escape for a paddle, an ice cream in Luss and a walk. Send a game postcard to the friends stuck in the office.

Families camping by the loch

Tent up, kids muddy, midges hungry. A playable postcard is the best way to tell Gran how it's going.

3 ideas for a Loch Lomond postcard game

Idea 1

Bonnie Banks Flyer

A sunny day trip to the loch shore calls for the vintage postcard look, bunting, stamps and all.

Put this in

“Sunburnt in Scotland. It can happen. I'm the proof.”

Idea 2

My First Munro

Graduation milestones fit the big moment of climbing your very first Munro.

Put this in

“Diploma in hillwalking: pending. Legs: failed.”

Idea 3

Loch Side Weekend

A loch side weekend with friends deserves a run, jump and stomp game full of party chaos.

Put this in

“Hen weekend report: three pints, one paddle, zero dignity.”

What to write on a Loch Lomond postcard

  • Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at Luss” works because it’s specific.
  • Mention what Loch Lomond is known for: the largest stretch of fresh water in Great Britain by surface area, or the song 'The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond'. One specific detail beats “lovely views” every time.
  • Use the local word: “Haste ye back” (come back soon (a Scots farewell)). It instantly sounds like it was sent from Loch Lomond.
  • Keep the ending message short: one detail, one feeling, one sign-off. It reads better on a phone screen.

Ending messages to steal

  • “Climbed Conic Hill and the whole loch was sparkling. Haste ye back, they said. I will.”
  • “Ice cream in Luss, paddle at Balloch. Perfect day. Wish you'd come.”
  • “Got up Ben Lomond! First Munro done. Only two hundred and eighty-something to go.”

Landmarks to name-drop

  • Ben Lomond
  • Luss
  • Conic Hill
  • Loch Lomond Shores
  • Balloch Castle Country Park

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.

How to send it, step by step

  1. Pick the Postcard occasion. Open become.games and choose Postcard. You can try it free with our demo characters straight away, no sign-up needed. To send it, you put your own people in it (drawn from a photo, which needs a plan); publishing and the link are free.
  2. Choose a game style and a look. Any style and any look work. The Postcard look (pastel houses, bunting, chip-thieving seagulls and runaway suitcases) is the natural pick, and for Loch Lomond we’d also try flappy flyer with the Postcard look.
  3. Type “Loch Lomond” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from Loch Lomond”; rename it if you like, e.g. “Bonnie Banks Flyer”.
  4. Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only Loch Lomond would explain, like a line about Conic Hill.
  5. Write the message on the back and send it. The ending is a postcard flying in with the place in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. Publish it (free, with its own permanent link) and share it on WhatsApp, as a QR code or by copying the link. It plays in the browser on any device.

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.

Loch Lomond postcard: questions

Will the game show Ben Lomond?

No. The game is titled “Greetings from Loch Lomond” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Ben Lomond. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Loch Lomond’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Ben Lomond in a line and they’ll picture it.

What should I write on a postcard from Loch Lomond?

Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Climbed Conic Hill and the whole loch was sparkling. Haste ye back, they said. I will.” You could also throw in “Haste ye back” (come back soon (a Scots farewell)).

Can I put myself in a Loch Lomond postcard?

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.

How much does a digital postcard game cost?

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.
