Newcastle has seven bridges across the Tyne, a football stadium right in the middle of town and a reputation for going out in winter without a coat. Wrap up warmer than the locals and send a postcard home.
A photo of the Tyne Bridge 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 “Newcastle” as where it’s from, and send the link.
Thirteen miles from Newcastle to South Shields, starting with a run over the Tyne Bridge. A game postcard is a great way to show off those medal legs.
Newcastle is famous for a good night out. A postcard game is a fun keepsake, and much safer to share than the group photos.
New city, new friends, a whole new vocabulary. Send a playable postcard home to show you are settling in, and already cheering howay with everyone else.
Idea 1
An endless runner suits a city that loves its half marathon, and icicles and hot chocolate suit a chilly Tyneside day.
Put this in
“It's minus two. Saw three lads running in T-shirts. Respect.”
Idea 2
Waves of bouncers and exes make the stag and hen look a perfect fit for a weekend in the Toon.
Put this in
“Big night on the Quayside. Shoes lost, dignity mostly intact.”
Idea 3
A climber tells the story of a degree in Newcastle milestone by milestone, with family cheering at the top.
Put this in
“Degree done. Celebrating with a stottie the size of my head.”

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 Newcastle” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw the Tyne Bridge. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Newcastle’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention the Tyne Bridge in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Why aye, I finished the Great North Run! Legs gone, medal on, stottie in hand.” You could also throw in “Howay” (Come on).
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.
Pick the Postcard occasion, type where it’s from, write the message on the back and share the link. It plays on any device, no download.
