Postcard from Norwich? Make it one they can play
The old saying goes that Norwich had a church for every week of the year and a pub for every day. It's still a fine city, with a Norman cathedral, a castle on a mound and chips from the market.
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 “Norwich”, write a line about Norwich Cathedral or Colman's Mustard, and it’s ready to send before your tea goes cold.
Who sends a postcard from Norwich?
Students at the University of East Anglia
A campus with its own lake, a medieval city next door and more cafés than you'll ever need. Send home a game starring you.
Holidaymakers heading to the Broads
Norwich is the gateway to the Norfolk Broads. Send a postcard from the city before the boating holiday begins.
Canaries fans on match day
Yellow and green from head to toe, a walk to Carrow Road and high hopes. Send the fans who couldn't make it a game.

Idea 3
Medieval Norwich After Dark

What to write on a Norwich postcard
- Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at Norwich Castle” works because it’s specific.
- Mention what Norwich is known for: Colman's Mustard, or Norwich City FC, the Canaries. One specific detail beats “lovely views” every time.
- Use the nickname. Signing off “love from A Fine City” is the postcard equivalent of a wink.
- Keep the ending message short: one detail, one feeling, one sign-off. It reads better on a phone screen.
Ending messages to steal
- “Wandered down Elm Hill, ate chips at the market and gazed up at the cathedral spire. Fine city indeed.”
- “Graduated from UEA! Thank you for the lifts, the phone calls and the emergency food parcels.”
- “Boating holiday starts tomorrow, last night in Norwich tonight. Wish you were here!”

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 Norwich we’d also try flappy flyer with the Birthday look.
- Type “Norwich” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from Norwich”; rename it if you like, e.g. “Fly Like a Canary”.
- Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only Norwich would explain, like a line about Elm Hill.
- 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.
Norwich postcard: questions
Will the game show Norwich Cathedral?
No. The game is titled “Greetings from Norwich” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Norwich Cathedral. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Norwich’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Norwich Cathedral in a line and they’ll picture it.
What should I write on a postcard from Norwich?
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Wandered down Elm Hill, ate chips at the market and gazed up at the cathedral spire. Fine city indeed.”
Can I put myself in a Norwich 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.
