Greetings from Windsor: send a postcard they can play

Windsor Castle is often described as the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, and the town around it has perfected the royal day out. Bring comfy shoes: the Long Walk is long for a reason.

A photo of Windsor Castle 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 “Windsor” as where it’s from, and send the link.

Who sends a postcard from Windsor?

Tourists on a royal day out

The Changing of the Guard, the castle state apartments and a cream tea after. A playable postcard tells everyone you had a right royal time.

Families at Legoland Windsor

A day of rides, queues and tiny bricks. Let the kids send their own game to the grandparents, starring the whole family.

Couples on a weekend away

A riverside stroll, a boat trip on the Thames and dinner with a view of the castle. Send a postcard to make your friends gently jealous.

3 ideas for a Windsor postcard game

Idea 1

A Right Royal Wedding

Rings, cake and wedding crashers suit a town famous for royal weddings.

Put this in

“No royal invitation arrived, so I've invited myself.”

Idea 2

Feeling Royal

A climber with someone waiting at the top makes any birthday feel like a coronation.

Put this in

“It's my birthday, so I'll be expecting a gun salute.”

Idea 3

Royal Day Out with Mum

Tea, flowers and laundry piles fit a special day out treating Mum or Dad to something grand.

Put this in

“Mum wanted a castle. I got her a castle. Well, a ticket to one.”

What to write on a Windsor postcard

  • Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at St George's Chapel” works because it’s specific.
  • Mention what Windsor is known for: royal weddings at St George's Chapel, or the Changing of the Guard. 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

  • “Walked the whole Long Walk. My feet are royally done. Windsor was beautiful.”
  • “Saw the Changing of the Guard and very nearly saluted. Wish you were here!”
  • “Thank you for the best weekend away. Castle views, river walks and you. Perfect.”

Landmarks to name-drop

  • Windsor Castle
  • St George's Chapel
  • The Long Walk
  • Windsor Great Park
  • Eton College, just over the bridge

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 Windsor we’d also try platformer with the Wedding & Anniversary look.
  3. Type “Windsor” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from Windsor”; rename it if you like, e.g. “A Right Royal Wedding”.
  4. Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only Windsor would explain, like a line about the Long Walk.
  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.

Windsor postcard: questions

Will the game show Windsor Castle?

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

What should I write on a postcard from Windsor?

Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Walked the whole Long Walk. My feet are royally done. Windsor was beautiful.”

Can I put myself in a Windsor 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.
