Padstow is a pretty harbour town on the Camel Estuary that has become a pilgrimage for seafood lovers, thanks largely to Rick Stein. Every May Day the 'Obby 'Oss dances through the streets.
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 “Padstow”, write a line about Padstow Harbour or Rick Stein's seafood restaurants, and it’s ready to send before your tea goes cold.
Plenty of people come here simply to eat very well by the sea. A postcard game is a cheeky way to make your foodie friends jealous.
The flat, traffic-free trail along the estuary is a joy on a bike. Send a postcard to prove you did the miles, not just the lunch.
A bucket, a line and a lot of patience make for a perfect afternoon. Share the catch with the grandparents back home.
Idea 1
An endless runner suits a long day on the Camel Trail, with summer ice creams to grab and fish and chips at the finish.
Put this in
“Cycled the Camel Trail. Earned the fish and chips. Then earned a second lot.”
Idea 2
Balloons and cake make a cheerful birthday flyer for anyone treated to a seafood lunch by the water.
Put this in
“Happy birthday! I ate the fancy fish so you did not have to.”
Idea 3
Climbing towards someone waiting at the top suits an anniversary weekend of harbour walks and long dinners.
Put this in
“Shared a seafood platter. Mostly. I had the last chip.”

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 Padstow” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Padstow Harbour. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Padstow’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Padstow Harbour in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Crabbing off the harbour wall: the kids caught twelve, I caught a cold. Brilliant day.”
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.
