Stratford-upon-Avon is where William Shakespeare was born and buried, so the whole town is one long biography with tea rooms. Catch a play at the RSC, then argue about the plot over dinner.
Pick the Postcard occasion, type “Stratford-upon-Avon” where it asks “Where’s it from?” and the game becomes “Greetings from Stratford-upon-Avon”, with postcard-flavoured jokes you can rewrite. It finishes with a vintage postcard flying in: “Greetings from Stratford-upon-Avon” in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. Shakespeare's Birthplace, Anne Hathaway's Cottage and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre are all fair game for the jokes.
Seeing the play you are studying, in the town where its writer was born, makes it click. Send a postcard home to prove you were paying attention.
A matinee, a riverside stroll and dinner make a romantic day. A playable postcard is a sweet way to remember it.
For many, Shakespeare's town is a must-see on a first trip to England. Send a postcard back home with a quote or two.
Idea 1
Bats, zombies and haunted trees suit the home town of the writer who gave us witches, ghosts and a lot of stormy nights.
Put this in
“To be or not to be chased by zombies? Definitely not.”
Idea 2
Climbing to someone waiting at the top, past hearts and Cupid misfires, suits a romantic break in the town of the great love stories.
Put this in
“Shouted 'wherefore art thou' up at a balcony. Got shushed.”
Idea 3
Exam papers and coffee suit the students who visit to see the plays they are studying.
Put this in
“Studied Macbeth for two years. Saw it once. Finally get it.”

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 Stratford-upon-Avon” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Shakespeare's Birthplace. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Stratford-upon-Avon’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Shakespeare's Birthplace in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Saw a play at the RSC, visited Shakespeare's Birthplace and waved at the swans on the Avon. All's well.”
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.
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.
