Turner came to Margate for the sunsets and kept coming back. Today it's golden sands, a vintage funfair and an underground grotto covered in shells that nobody can fully explain.
Pick the Postcard occasion, type “Margate” where it asks “Where’s it from?” and the game becomes “Greetings from Margate”, with postcard-flavoured jokes you can rewrite. It finishes with a vintage postcard flying in: “Greetings from Margate” in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. Turner Contemporary, Dreamland and the Shell Grotto are all fair game for the jokes.
Straight from London to the sand with a bag of chips waiting. Send the friends who didn't come a game to rub it in.
A free gallery, huge windows and the sea right outside. Send a creative postcard to the friend who always drags you to exhibitions.
Rides at Dreamland, drinks on the Harbour Arm and sand in everything. A playable postcard is the souvenir everyone will actually keep.
Idea 1
Margate is a classic seaside day out, so the vintage postcard look, with chip-thieving gulls and stamps to collect, fits it perfectly.
Put this in
“Turner painted the sunset. I'm painted in sun cream.”
Idea 2
Bouncers, exes and shots suit a seaside hen weekend with funfair rides and late nights.
Put this in
“We came for the art. We stayed for the rollercoaster.”
Idea 3
A spooky look with bats and zombies suits a town with a mysterious underground grotto and a love of the strange.
Put this in
“Nobody knows who built the grotto. I'm blaming the seagulls.”
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 Margate” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Turner Contemporary. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Margate’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Turner Contemporary in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Sunset over Margate sands, chips in hand, nowhere else I'd rather be. Except with you.”
Yes. It’s a link, so it plays in the browser on any phone or computer, anywhere in the world, with no download or app store. Send it on WhatsApp, by text or email, or as a QR code.
