Postcard from Wells? Make it one they can play
Wells is a pocket-sized city, yet it has a cathedral with a famous carved west front, a moated Bishop's Palace and swans that ring a bell when they want lunch. Hot Fuzz fans will recognise the Market Place.
Every “Greetings from Wells” game ends with a postcard flying in: the place in big retro letters, your message on the back, a stamp and your signature. What goes in the jokes is up to you: Wells Cathedral, the Bishop's Palace and Vicars' Close, the Hot Fuzz filming locations, or the thing that happened on day two that nobody is allowed to mention.
Who sends a postcard from Wells?
Hot Fuzz fans
The film was shot here, and spotting the locations is half the fun. A postcard game is the perfect way to share your best action pose.
Grandparents on a coach trip
A cathedral, palace gardens and a cream tea, all within a short stroll. Send the grandchildren something more exciting than a fridge magnet.
Couples on a quiet weekend away
Wells is small, peaceful and very pretty after dark. A romantic postcard game is a sweet thing to send each other afterwards.

Idea 3
Small City, Big Crush

- Look
- 💘 Valentine’s Day
Climbing towards someone waiting at the top makes a sweet postcard after a romantic weekend.
Put this in
“Small city, big crush. Wish you were here.”
What to write on a Wells postcard
- Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at Wells Cathedral” works because it’s specific.
- Mention what Wells is known for: the Hot Fuzz filming locations, or the Bishop's Palace swans that ring a bell for food. One specific detail beats “lovely views” every time.
- Keep the ending message short: one detail, one feeling, one sign-off. It reads better on a phone screen.
Ending messages to steal
- “Saw the swans ring the bell for their lunch. Seriously considering a bell for the kitchen.”
- “Walked Vicars' Close, had tea by the cathedral and did a Hot Fuzz pose in the Market Place.”

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 Wells we’d also try platformer with the Retirement look.
- Type “Wells” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from Wells”; rename it if you like, e.g. “Swan Song”.
- Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only Wells would explain, like a line about Vicars' Close.
- 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.

Wells postcard: questions
Will the game show Wells Cathedral?
No. The game is titled “Greetings from Wells” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Wells Cathedral. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Wells’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Wells Cathedral in a line and they’ll picture it.
What should I write on a postcard from Wells?
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Saw the swans ring the bell for their lunch. Seriously considering a bell for the kitchen.”
Can I send a Wells postcard to someone abroad?
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.
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.
