Southwold has a lighthouse right in the middle of town, a brewery that makes the streets smell faintly of hops and beach huts with famously eye-watering price tags. It's the Suffolk seaside at its most charming.
Pick the Postcard occasion, type “Southwold” where it asks “Where’s it from?” and the game becomes “Greetings from Southwold”, with postcard-flavoured jokes you can rewrite. It finishes with a vintage postcard flying in: “Greetings from Southwold” in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. Southwold Pier, Southwold Lighthouse and the beach huts are all fair game for the jokes.
Pier walks, a brewery tour and fish and chips by the harbour. Send a postcard to make your friends jealous, nicely.
Latitude takes place just outside Southwold every July. Send a game to the mates who missed it, with a message only they'll understand.
Sandcastles, the quirky machines on the pier and a lot of ice cream. Let the kids send a game to Grandpa.
Idea 1
The postcard look's pastel houses and bunting suit a day by the beach huts, with waves of chip-thieving gulls to fend off.
Put this in
“Our beach hut cost more than my first car. Still worth it.”
Idea 2
Bouncers, exes and shots suit a wild festival weekend in the Suffolk countryside.
Put this in
“Lost my tent, found my friends, found the tent again.”
Idea 3
A climber with someone waiting at the top suits a romantic weekend that might end with a big question.
Put this in
“I climbed all this way for you. Please say yes.”
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 Southwold” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Southwold Pier. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Southwold’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Southwold Pier in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Fish and chips by the harbour, a pint of Adnams, sunset over the beach huts. Perfect.”
Yes. It’s a link, so it plays in the browser on any phone or computer, anywhere in the world, with no download or app store. Send it on WhatsApp, by text or email, or as a QR code.
