The Mayflower set sail from Plymouth in 1620, Drake supposedly finished his game of bowls on the Hoe before facing the Armada, and Smeaton's Tower stands there in red and white stripes. Big history, bigger sea views.
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 “Plymouth”, write a line about Plymouth Hoe or the Mayflower, which sailed from here in 1620, and it’s ready to send before your tea goes cold.
Plenty of people, many from across the Atlantic, come to stand by the Mayflower Steps. A postcard game is a lighthearted souvenir of a very old voyage.
Studying a short walk from the sea is something to brag about. Send a postcard home that proves the views are real.
Cobbled streets, harbour boats and fish and chips on the waterfront make a perfect day out, as long as the gulls cooperate.
Idea 1
The postcard look's chip-thieving gulls and bunting suit a breezy day on the Hoe, with stamps to collect as you fly.
Put this in
“The Barbican gulls have seen my chips. I'm flying for my life.”
Idea 2
Stray rockets and sparklers fit a city famous for the fireworks championships lighting up the Sound each summer.
Put this in
“Finished my game of bowls, then fought off the rockets. Very Drake.”
Idea 3
A climber's milestones map neatly onto three years of study, with someone proud waiting at the top.
Put this in
“Climbed Smeaton's Tower. Fewer steps than my dissertation, better views.”

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 Plymouth” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Plymouth Hoe. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Plymouth’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Plymouth Hoe in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Stood on the Hoe, looked out to sea and thought of you. Then a gull took my pasty.”
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.
