Penzance looks out across Mount's Bay to St Michael's Mount, and its art deco Jubilee Pool lets you swim in the sea without the waves. It's also where Gilbert and Sullivan sent their pirates.
A photo of Jubilee Pool 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 “Penzance” as where it’s from, and send the link.
Penzance is a welcome stop for tired legs heading round towards Land's End. A postcard game is a fun way to report the miles.
The Scillonian ferry leaves from here, so many island holidays start with a night in Penzance. Send a postcard before you set sail.
Walking the causeway at low tide is unforgettable. A playable postcard captures the fun of racing the tide back.
Idea 1
Waves of chip-thieving seagulls make a pirate-worthy battle, and the vintage postcard look suits a sunny week on the bay.
Put this in
“Arr. The only treasure I found was a pasty, and a gull stole it.”
Idea 2
Icicles and hot chocolate suit the hardy souls who swim outdoors when the air is frankly baltic.
Put this in
“Swam outdoors in winter. Once. I'll be telling people about it forever.”
Idea 3
A climber's milestones suit a long career that ends somewhere lovely, just like the railway line does here.
Put this in
“Took the train until it ran out of track. Retirement starts here.”
Ending messages to steal
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 Penzance” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Jubilee Pool. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Penzance’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Jubilee Pool in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Watched the tide cover the causeway to St Michael's Mount. Very nearly got my timing wrong.”
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.
