Snowdonia digital postcards that beat a photo of the view

Eryri is where Wales keeps its biggest mountains, including Yr Wyddfa at 1,085 metres. You can walk up it, or take the train and wave at the people walking up it.

A photo of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) 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 “Snowdonia” as where it’s from, and send the link.

Who sends a postcard from Snowdonia?

Walkers summiting Yr Wyddfa

Reaching the top of Wales is a huge moment, whether you saw the view or a lot of cloud, and it deserves a postcard that shows off a bit.

Three Peaks challengers

Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa in one go is a serious effort, often for charity, and a playable postcard is a fun thank you to everyone who sponsored you.

Families on a half-term break

A mountain train, a lake to paddle in and waterfalls everywhere: a game starring the kids is the perfect way to share it with the grandparents.

3 ideas for a Snowdonia postcard game

Idea 1

Yr Wyddfa or Bust

A climber is made for the highest mountain in Wales, and the winter look's icicles and hot chocolate match the summit chill.

Put this in

“Reached the top of Wales. It was in a cloud. I'll take your word for the view.”

Idea 2

Three Peaks, Zero Sleep

The Three Peaks Challenge is a blur of tiredness and triumph, and the new year look's hangover clouds and champagne fit.

Put this in

“Three mountains, twenty-four hours, one very confused body clock.”

Idea 3

Eryri in Shorts

A summer platformer of sunburn and ice creams fits a bright day in the mountains, if you are lucky enough to catch one.

Put this in

“Wore shorts in Eryri. The weather took it personally.”

What to write on a Snowdonia postcard

  • Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at the Snowdon Mountain Railway” works because it’s specific.
  • Mention what Snowdonia is known for: Yr Wyddfa, the highest mountain in Wales, or Welsh slate. One specific detail beats “lovely views” every time.
  • Keep the ending message short: one detail, one feeling, one sign-off. It reads better on a phone screen.

Ending messages to steal

  • “Climbed Yr Wyddfa! Legs gone, phone full of cloud photos, heart full.”
  • “Three Peaks done. Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, Yr Wyddfa. Never again. See you next year.”
  • “Took the train up Yr Wyddfa with the kids. We waved at the walkers all the way.”

Landmarks to name-drop

  • Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)
  • The Snowdon Mountain Railway
  • Tryfan
  • Cadair Idris
  • Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake)

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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 Snowdonia we’d also try story climber with the Winter look.
  3. Type “Snowdonia” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from Snowdonia”; rename it if you like, e.g. “Yr Wyddfa or Bust”.
  4. Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only Snowdonia would explain, like a line about Tryfan.
  5. 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.

Snowdonia postcard: questions

Will the game show Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)?

No. The game is titled “Greetings from Snowdonia” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Snowdonia’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) in a line and they’ll picture it.

What should I write on a postcard from Snowdonia?

Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Climbed Yr Wyddfa! Legs gone, phone full of cloud photos, heart full.”

Can I put myself in a Snowdonia postcard?

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.

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.
