Oban is where the CalMac ferries come and go, the seafood comes straight off the boats and McCaig's Tower looks down on it all like a tiny Colosseum. Eat well, watch the ferries, try not to miss yours.
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 “Oban”, write a line about McCaig's Tower or fresh seafood by the harbour, and it’s ready to send before your tea goes cold.
There's always a bit of time before the boat to Mull. Perfect for sending a game postcard from the pier.
Fresh scallops, oysters and mussels by the harbour. Make your friends jealous with a postcard they can play.
A beach at Ganavan, a castle at Dunollie and chips by the bay. A game postcard keeps the grandparents updated.
Idea 1
Runaway suitcases and chip-thieving gulls suit a harbour town where everyone is catching a ferry or eating outside.
Put this in
“A seagull just eyed up my scallops. Not today, pal.”
Idea 2
A climb with someone waiting at the top is lovely for a West Coast wedding or proposal story.
Put this in
“Climbed the hill, said yes, then went for oysters.”
Idea 3
Waves of meetings and emails suit anyone escaping work on the next boat out.
Put this in
“Out of office: on a ferry, eating chips, not checking emails.”

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 Oban” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw McCaig's Tower. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Oban’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention McCaig's Tower in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Ate seafood on the pier and watched the ferries come in. Oban is my happy place.”
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.
