Idea 1
Fair City Flyer
- Game style
- 🐦 Flappy flyer
- Look
- 💘 Valentine’s Day
A romantic weekend calls for hearts and roses to collect, with the odd cupid misfire to dodge.
Put this in
“Cupid missed again. Good thing the scones were on target.”
Tayside and Perthshire · Scotland
The Perth postcard, reinvented as a tiny game
Perth sits on the Tay between two big riverside parks, and the ancient Stone of Destiny lives at Perth Museum. Kings were crowned just up the road at Scone. You can have a scone.
Pick the Postcard occasion, type “Perth” where it asks “Where’s it from?” and the game becomes “Greetings from Perth”, with postcard-flavoured jokes you can rewrite. It finishes with a vintage postcard flying in: “Greetings from Perth” in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. Scone Palace, Perth Museum and the North Inch are all fair game for the jokes.
Who sends a postcard from Perth?
Couples on a weekend away
A riverside stroll, a palace and a fancy dinner. Send a playable postcard to the friends who looked after the dog.
History fans
Seeing the Stone of Destiny in person is a big moment. A game postcard is a lighter way to share it than a forty-photo text.
People who just moved to Perth
New city, new routine. Let old friends know you've already found your favourite bench on the North Inch.

What to write on a Perth postcard
- Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at Scone Palace” works because it’s specific.
- Mention what Perth is known for: the Stone of Destiny, on display at Perth Museum, or Perthshire soft fruit. One specific detail beats “lovely views” every time.
- Use the nickname. Signing off “love from the Fair 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
- “Saw the Stone of Destiny. It's a stone. A very important stone. Loved it.”
- “Walked the North Inch, had a scone near Scone. Perth is lovely.”
- “Perth in the sunshine is gorgeous. Come up for a weekend soon.”

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 Perth we’d also try flappy flyer with the Valentine’s Day look.
- Type “Perth” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from Perth”; rename it if you like, e.g. “Fair City Flyer”.
- Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only Perth would explain, like a line about the North Inch.
- 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.
Perth postcard: questions
Will the game show Scone Palace?
No. The game is titled “Greetings from Perth” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Scone Palace. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Perth’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Scone Palace in a line and they’ll picture it.
What should I write on a postcard from Perth?
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Saw the Stone of Destiny. It's a stone. A very important stone. Loved it.”
Can I send a Perth postcard to someone abroad?
Yes. It’s a link, so it plays in the browser on any phone or computer, anywhere in the world, with no download or app store. Send it on WhatsApp, by text or email, or as a QR code.
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.
