Enormous cruise ships set sail from Southampton, which makes sending a postcard from here feel very glamorous, even if you're just on the quayside waving.
A photo of the Bargate 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 “Southampton” as where it’s from, and send the link.
One last coffee before the ship leaves, and a whole holiday ahead. Send a playable postcard so everyone at home knows you've gone and they haven't.
Southampton and Solent universities fill the city with students. A game starring you is a fun way to tell home you've settled in.
Missing the Bargate, the Common and a proper Saints match day? Send a game home with a message for the people who still live there.
Idea 1
Runaway suitcases and stamps to collect suit a cruise send-off, and the vintage postcard look feels like a proper old-fashioned sailing day.
Put this in
“Ship's leaving, my suitcase is escaping and my sea legs are still on the quayside.”
Idea 2
Meetings and printers in waves suit a busy work trip to one of the country's major ports.
Put this in
“Three meetings, two cruise ships and one very small hotel coffee.”
Idea 3
A climber with milestones tells the story of a degree nicely, with exam papers to dodge and a diploma at the top.
Put this in
“Graduated! Now I just need a job that pays for cruises.”

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 Southampton” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw the Bargate. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Southampton’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention the Bargate in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “About to sail off on our big holiday. Don't miss us too much. Back with a tan!”
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.
