Wolverhampton digital postcards that beat a photo of the view

Wolverhampton turns old gold and black on match days at Molineux, and as the home of Slade it can claim a little credit every time 'Merry Xmas Everybody' comes on in December.

A photo of Molineux Stadium 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 “Wolverhampton” as where it’s from, and send the link.

Who sends a postcard from Wolverhampton?

Wolves fans

A match day at Molineux is something special. Send a postcard to the fan who had to watch from the sofa.

Students at the University of Wolverhampton

A playable postcard is a fun way to let the family know uni life is going well and the washing is (mostly) done.

People visiting family for the holidays

Coming home for Christmas or New Year is a big occasion. Send a festive postcard to everyone who could not make it back.

3 ideas for a Wolverhampton postcard game

Idea 1

Merry Christmas from Wolverhampton

Naughty elves and mince pies feel right for the city that gave the world one of the biggest Christmas songs.

Put this in

“It is Christmas! Cue a certain Wolverhampton band on every radio station.”

Idea 2

Happy New Year from Wolves

Champagne and clock pieces suit a New Year card sent after a festive visit home.

Put this in

“New Year resolution: get a season ticket. And eat less. Mostly the ticket.”

Idea 3

Old Gold Graduate

Climbing past exam papers to a diploma tells the story of a degree, with someone proud waiting at the top.

Put this in

“Three years of study and my most-used phrase is still "Up the Wolves".”

What to write on a Wolverhampton postcard

  • Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at St Peter's Collegiate Church” works because it’s specific.
  • Mention what Wolverhampton is known for: Wolverhampton Wanderers, or Slade, the glam rock band. 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

  • “Molineux was rocking today. Voice gone, scarf on, heart full. Up the Wolves!”
  • “Back in Wolverhampton for the weekend. West Park still looks lovely and Mum still overfeeds me.”

Landmarks to name-drop

  • Molineux Stadium
  • St Peter's Collegiate Church
  • Wolverhampton Art Gallery
  • West Park
  • Bantock House Museum

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

Wolverhampton postcard: questions

Will the game show Molineux Stadium?

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

What should I write on a postcard from Wolverhampton?

Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Molineux was rocking today. Voice gone, scarf on, heart full. Up the Wolves!”

Can I put myself in a Wolverhampton 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.
