Sheffield is the Steel City: built on seven hills, splashed with Henderson's Relish and with about a third of it inside the Peak District. Pack good shoes and a strong opinion about snooker.
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 “Sheffield”, write a line about Winter Garden or Henderson's Relish, and it’s ready to send before your tea goes cold.
Every walk to lectures seems to be uphill, both ways somehow. A climber postcard home is the most honest way to explain your new calf muscles.
The World Championship has been played in Sheffield since 1977. Send a game from the trip, and pretend you'd have potted that black.
Sheffield has given the world plenty of great bands. Send a playable postcard after a night of live music, ears still ringing.
Idea 1
Hills plus icicles is the full Sheffield commute in January, with hot chocolate as your reward at the top.
Put this in
“Sheffield has seven hills. I've climbed eight today, somehow.”
Idea 2
Dodging meetings and printers fits a work trip to Sheffield, with a relish-splashed lunch to look forward to.
Put this in
“Put Henderson's Relish on everything. Including the spreadsheet.”
Idea 3
Exam papers coming in waves feel just like finals, and the boss is the dissertation you left too late.
Put this in
“Now then, I'm a graduate. Steel yourselves for the photos.”
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 Sheffield” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Winter Garden. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Sheffield’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Winter Garden in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Now then! Walked up three hills to get a coffee. Sheffield is lovely but my legs are not.” You could also throw in “Now then” (Hello, how are you?).
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.
