Windermere is the lake, the town and the word everyone wrongly sticks 'Lake' in front of. Mere already means lake, so 'Lake Windermere' is basically Lake Lakelake.
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 “Windermere”, write a line about Bowness Bay or England's largest natural lake, and it’s ready to send before your tea goes cold.
A boat across the lake, dinner with a view and nowhere to be: a postcard is the only bit of admin anyone should do on a weekend like that.
Beatrix Potter characters, boat trips and feeding the swans in Bowness make for a full day, and a game starring the kids keeps the grandparents in the loop.
A lake cruise and a cream tea are the classic Windermere day, and a playable postcard is a cheeky surprise for the grandchildren.
Idea 1
Bowness on a sunny day is all gulls, boats and ice creams, so the vintage postcard look feels right at home.
Put this in
“Bought chips in Bowness. A swan and a seagull are now fighting for custody.”
Idea 2
A gentle climber fits a classic short walk, and the retirement look's pints and golf balls suit a relaxed break.
Put this in
“Wainwright fell in love with the Lakes up Orrest Head. I fell in love with the bench.”
Idea 3
Lakeside hotels host plenty of weddings, so a wedding arena of crashers, rings and cake suits the guests.
Put this in
“Lake view, wedding cake, one uncle doing the worm. Perfect day.”

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 Windermere” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Bowness Bay. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Windermere’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Bowness Bay in a line and they’ll picture it.
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “We're on Windermere, which I've learned is already a lake, so please stop saying Lake Windermere.”
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.
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.
Pick the Postcard occasion, type where it’s from, write the message on the back and share the link. It plays on any device, no download.
