Loch Ness digital postcards that beat a photo of the view
Loch Ness is deep, dark and over twenty miles long, which leaves plenty of room for a monster to hide. Stare at the water from Urquhart Castle long enough and every log starts to look suspicious.
A photo of Urquhart Castle 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 Ness” as where it’s from, and send the link.
Who sends a postcard from Loch Ness?
Monster hunters of all ages
Every visit is a fresh chance to spot Nessie. A game postcard is the perfect place to report your 'sighting'.
Passengers on a loch cruise
Boat trips past Urquhart Castle are a highlight. Send one from the deck while you keep an eye on the water.

Fort William to Inverness along the glen, with Loch Ness as the long, glittering middle bit. A playable postcard says you're still going.
3 ideas for a Loch Ness postcard game
Idea 2
Urquhart Under Siege
- Game style

Arena waves and a boss suit a ruined castle on a windswept shore, especially in winter.
Put this in
“Held the castle. Lost a glove. Nessie may have it.”
Idea 3
Down the Great Glen
- Game style
- 🏃 Endless runner
- Look
- ☀️ Summer
An endless runner suits a long summer journey along the loch, with ice creams to grab and a tearoom at the finish.
Put this in
“Twenty miles of loch. Zero monsters. Several excellent tearooms.”
What to write on a Loch Ness postcard
- Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at Fort Augustus” works because it’s specific.
- Mention what Loch Ness is known for: Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster, or the Caledonian Canal. One specific detail beats “lovely views” every time.
- Keep the ending message short: one detail, one feeling, one sign-off. It reads better on a phone screen.
Ending messages to steal
- “Spent two hours staring at the water. Nessie didn't show. I'm not giving up.”
- “Urquhart Castle at sunset with the loch below. Breathtaking. Wish you were here.”
- “Official report: no monster, one ice cream, very happy. Back soon.”

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.
How to send it, step by step
- 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.
- 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 Ness we’d also try flappy flyer with the Halloween look.
- Type “Loch Ness” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from Loch Ness”; rename it if you like, e.g. “Nessie Spotter”.
- Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only Loch Ness would explain, like a line about Drumnadrochit.
- 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 Ness postcard: questions
Will the game show Urquhart Castle?
No. The game is titled “Greetings from Loch Ness” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Urquhart Castle. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Loch Ness’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Urquhart Castle in a line and they’ll picture it.
What should I write on a postcard from Loch Ness?
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Spent two hours staring at the water. Nessie didn't show. I'm not giving up.”
Can I put myself in a Loch Ness 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.
