Skegness has been 'so bracing' ever since a railway poster of a jolly fisherman said so in 1908. Bring a coat, buy the chips and send a postcard that's just as cheerful.
Pick the Postcard occasion, type “Skegness” where it asks “Where’s it from?” and the game becomes “Greetings from Skegness”, with postcard-flavoured jokes you can rewrite. It finishes with a vintage postcard flying in: “Greetings from Skegness” in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. Skegness Clock Tower, Skegness Pier and Natureland Seal Sanctuary are all fair game for the jokes.
Sandcastles, arcades and chips on the prom. A playable postcard keeps the holiday going for the grandparents who stayed at home.
A day by the sea, a bag of chips and a sit by the Clock Tower. Sending a game to the grandkids is the most modern thing on the itinerary.
The very first Butlin's opened just up the coast in 1936. Send a postcard that carries on the holiday camp tradition, with a little more button pressing.
Idea 1
A runner along the seafront suits Skeggy, and the vintage postcard look's gulls and runaway suitcases are proper holiday hazards.
Put this in
“Skegness is so bracing. My eyebrows blew off at the pier.”
Idea 2
Out of season the east coast is brisk, so icicles and hot chocolate tell the truth with a smile.
Put this in
“Bracing? I've lost feeling in both ears. Lovely, though.”
Idea 3
Golf balls and pints suit a relaxed seaside break, and the arena waves are as relentless as the tide.
Put this in
“Won on the 2p machines. Retiring to Skeggy permanently.”

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 Skegness” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Skegness Clock Tower. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Skegness’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Skegness Clock Tower in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Skegness really is bracing. Had chips by the Clock Tower, fought off a seagull and won. Love you.”
