Northampton has been making fine shoes for centuries, and its museum holds a huge collection of them. Put your best foot forward and send a postcard that walks the walk.
It’s a link, so it works on any device, anywhere, with no download. Choose a game style and a look (the Postcard look has chip-thieving seagulls and runaway suitcases), type “Northampton”, write a line about Church of the Holy Sepulchre or shoemaking, and it’s ready to send before your tea goes cold.
Match day at the Saints is loud and proud. A postcard game is a good way to celebrate a win, or quietly change the subject after a loss.
The Waterside campus sits right by the River Nene. Send something home that's more fun than a text saying the washing machine is confusing.
A morning at Delapré Abbey, tea and cake, then the shoe museum. The grandchildren will be impressed to get a game, and slightly alarmed Grandad found it.
Idea 1
An endless runner is all about the footwork, which suits a shoe town, and retirement's alarm clocks make handy hurdles.
Put this in
“Running in brand new Northampton shoes. Comfy, too.”
Idea 2
A climber with milestones suits a work trip, rising floor by floor to the person waiting at the top.
Put this in
“Took the stairs. The Lift Tower was only for testing lifts.”
Idea 3
Waves of snowmen and icicles match a cold Saturday at the rugby, with hot chocolate as the half time reward.
Put this in
“Tackled more snowmen than the Saints back row.”

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 Northampton” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Northampton’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Church of the Holy Sepulchre in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Bought proper Northampton shoes. Now I walk everywhere just to show them off. Love you.”
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.
