Truro digital postcards that beat a photo of the view
Truro is Cornwall's only city, where a three-spired cathedral rises over elegant Georgian streets. It's where half of Cornwall comes to shop, so expect pasties in every direction.
A photo of Truro Cathedral 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 “Truro” as where it’s from, and send the link.
Who sends a postcard from Truro?
People who just moved to Cornwall
New job, new house, new county. A postcard game is a friendly way to tell everyone you have arrived and are slowly getting the hang of doing things dreckly.
Theatre-goers at the Hall for Cornwall
A night at the theatre is a treat worth sharing. Send a postcard to whoever you wished was in the next seat.
Holidaymakers on a rainy day
When the beach is off, Truro's shops and cafés save the day. A postcard proves the holiday is going swimmingly, even if you aren't.

What to write on a Truro postcard
- Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at Lemon Quay” works because it’s specific.
- Mention what Truro is known for: Cornish pasties, or being Cornwall's only city. One specific detail beats “lovely views” every time.
- Use the local word: “Dreckly” (at some point, eventually, in Cornish time). It instantly sounds like it was sent from Truro.
- Keep the ending message short: one detail, one feeling, one sign-off. It reads better on a phone screen.
Ending messages to steal
- “Moved in, unpacked most things, will do the rest dreckly. Truro already feels like home.”
- “Cathedral, pasty, coffee, repeat. Cornwall's only city is treating me well.”

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 Truro we’d also try flappy flyer with the Summer look.
- Type “Truro” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from Truro”; rename it if you like, e.g. “Truro Pasty Patrol”.
- Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only Truro would explain, like a line about Lemon Street.
- 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.
Truro postcard: questions
Will the game show Truro Cathedral?
No. The game is titled “Greetings from Truro” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Truro Cathedral. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Truro’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Truro Cathedral in a line and they’ll picture it.
What should I write on a postcard from Truro?
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Moved in, unpacked most things, will do the rest dreckly. Truro already feels like home.” You could also throw in “Dreckly” (at some point, eventually, in Cornish time).
Can I put myself in a Truro 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.
