Concrete cows, a legendary number of roundabouts and the park where Alan Turing and the codebreakers worked in secret. Milton Keynes became a city in 2022, and it's far greener than the jokes suggest.
Every “Greetings from Milton Keynes” game ends with a postcard flying in: the place in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. What goes in the jokes is up to you: Bletchley Park, the Concrete Cows and Willen Lake, roundabouts, or the thing that happened on day two that nobody is allowed to mention.
Plenty of big companies have offices here. Between meetings, send the team a game that tells them you're working hard, honestly.
New house, new job, new roundabouts to learn. A playable postcard is a fun way to tell friends you've settled in.
Wartime huts, codebreaking machines and incredible stories. Send a postcard to the crossword fan in the family who would have loved it.
Idea 1
A runner that never stops suits a city of roundabouts and long, straight paths, with meetings to jump and printers to slide under.
Put this in
“Took the third exit, then the third exit, then the third exit. Still here.”
Idea 2
A climber with milestones fits a first year in a new city, from boxes to barbecues, with cake waiting at the top.
Put this in
“I've lived here a year and I'm still going round the same roundabout.”
Idea 3
A spooky arena suits a half term family day out, with bats and zombies to clear in waves.
Put this in
“Even the zombies need a satnav round here.”
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 Milton Keynes” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Bletchley Park. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Milton Keynes’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Bletchley Park in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Saw the Concrete Cows. They're real, they're cows and they're concrete. Milton Keynes delivers.”
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.
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.
