Postcard from St Andrews? Make it one they can play
St Andrews is known worldwide as the home of golf, has Scotland's oldest university and a beach you might remember from Chariots of Fire. Run along West Sands humming the tune: everyone does.
A photo of the Old Course 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 “St Andrews” as where it’s from, and send the link.
Who sends a postcard from St Andrews?
Golfers ticking off the Old Course
Whether you played it or just stood on the Swilcan Bridge for a photo, a postcard game is a fun way to brag.
Students at the University of St Andrews
Red gowns, the May Dip and the pier walk. Send one home so they know you're having a very St Andrews time.
Parents dropping off first-years
Leaving them at halls is emotional. A playable postcard is a light way to say you're proud and already miss them.

What to write on a St Andrews postcard
- Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at St Andrews Cathedral” works because it’s specific.
- Mention what St Andrews is known for: golf, or the University of St Andrews, Scotland's oldest university. One specific detail beats “lovely views” every time.
- Use the nickname. Signing off “love from the Home of Golf” is the postcard equivalent of a wink.
- Keep the ending message short: one detail, one feeling, one sign-off. It reads better on a phone screen.
Ending messages to steal
- “Stood on the Swilcan Bridge like a pro. Then I saw the price of a round. Love you.”
- “Ran along West Sands humming you know what. Nobody stared. Everyone was doing it.”
- “So proud of you. St Andrews is beautiful and you're going to have the best time.”

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.
How to send it, step by step
- 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.
- 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 St Andrews we’d also try flappy flyer with the Retirement look.
- Type “St Andrews” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from St Andrews”; rename it if you like, e.g. “Home of Golf Flyer”.
- Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only St Andrews would explain, like a line about St Andrews Castle.
- 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.
St Andrews postcard: questions
Will the game show the Old Course?
No. The game is titled “Greetings from St Andrews” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw the Old Course. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not St Andrews’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention the Old Course in a line and they’ll picture it.
What should I write on a postcard from St Andrews?
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Stood on the Swilcan Bridge like a pro. Then I saw the price of a round. Love you.”
Can I put myself in a St Andrews 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.
