Wish you were here: a Weymouth postcard game

King George III made Weymouth fashionable by bathing here from 1789, and the town has kept the soft sandy beach, the Georgian seafront and a colourful statue of him to say thank you.

It’s a link, so it works on any device, anywhere, with no download. Choose a game style and a look (the Postcard look has chip-thieving seagulls and runaway suitcases), type “Weymouth”, write a line about Weymouth Beach or sailing (Weymouth and Portland hosted the London 2012 Olympic sailing), and it’s ready to send before your tea goes cold.

Who sends a postcard from Weymouth?

Families on a summer holiday

A gently shelving sandy beach is perfect for little paddlers. A playable postcard brings the grandparents along for the fun.

Grandparents on a coach trip

A stroll along the Esplanade, fish and chips by the harbour and a nap in a deckchair. Send something cheerful to the family.

Sailors on the Olympic waters

Sailing where the 2012 Olympians raced is a thrill. A postcard game is a fun way to share the windswept glory.

3 ideas for a Weymouth postcard game

Idea 1

A Royal Dip

Weymouth is a classic bucket and spade holiday, so the vintage postcard look, with bunting and chip-thieving gulls, is a natural fit.

Put this in

“If the sea was good enough for George III, it is good enough for my toes.”

Idea 2

Retirement by the Sea

Climbing through the milestones of a working life to a deckchair at the top suits a seaside town made for slowing down.

Put this in

“Retired. My only appointment is with a deckchair at ten.”

Idea 3

No Chores at the Seaside

Fending off laundry piles and chores makes a playful Mother's Day or Father's Day thank you from a family beach day.

Put this in

“No laundry, no chores, just sand in the sandwiches. Happy Mother's Day!”

What to write on a Weymouth postcard

  • Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at the Jubilee Clock” works because it’s specific.
  • Mention what Weymouth is known for: sailing (Weymouth and Portland hosted the London 2012 Olympic sailing), or King George III's seaside holidays. 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

  • “Sandcastles, the Jubilee Clock and fish and chips by the harbour. Weymouth delivered.”
  • “Swam where George III swam. He probably didn't scream as much as I did.”

Landmarks to name-drop

  • Weymouth Beach
  • The Jubilee Clock
  • Nothe Fort
  • Weymouth Harbour
  • The King's Statue (George III)

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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 Weymouth we’d also try flappy flyer with the Postcard look.
  3. Type “Weymouth” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from Weymouth”; rename it if you like, e.g. “A Royal Dip”.
  4. Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only Weymouth would explain, like a line about Nothe Fort.
  5. 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.

Weymouth postcard: questions

Will the game show Weymouth Beach?

No. The game is titled “Greetings from Weymouth” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Weymouth Beach. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Weymouth’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Weymouth Beach in a line and they’ll picture it.

What should I write on a postcard from Weymouth?

Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Sandcastles, the Jubilee Clock and fish and chips by the harbour. Weymouth delivered.”

Can I put myself in a Weymouth 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.
