Postcard from Worcester? Make it one they can play
Worcester gave the world Worcestershire sauce, has King John buried in its cathedral and plays county cricket beside the River Severn at New Road. Just do not ask anyone to spell the sauce.
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 “Worcester”, write a line about Worcester Cathedral or Worcestershire sauce, and it’s ready to send before your tea goes cold.
Who sends a postcard from Worcester?
Cricket fans
Watching cricket at New Road with the cathedral as a backdrop is one of the loveliest views in the sport. Send a postcard to a fellow fan.
Students at the University of Worcester
A playable postcard is a fun way to tell the family you are settled, studying and only slightly addicted to the sauce.
Music lovers at the Three Choirs Festival
The festival takes turns between Worcester, Hereford and Gloucester. When it is Worcester's year, send a postcard to a fellow music lover.

Idea 3
The Last Battle
- Game style
- ⚔️ Arena battle
- Look
- 🎃 Halloween
Waves of zombies and bats suit a city that saw the final battle of the English Civil War in 1651.
Put this in
“Fought off zombies near the Commandery. Charles II had it easy.”
What to write on a Worcester postcard
- Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at The Commandery” works because it’s specific.
- Mention what Worcester is known for: Worcestershire sauce, or Royal Worcester porcelain. One specific detail beats “lovely views” every time.
- Use the nickname. Signing off “love from The Faithful City” is the postcard equivalent of a wink.
- Keep the ending message short: one detail, one feeling, one sign-off. It reads better on a phone screen.
Ending messages to steal
- “Worcester Cathedral, a stroll by the Severn and a sauce-based souvenir. Can you spell it? I cannot.”
- “Watching cricket at New Road with the cathedral behind the bowler. Bliss.”

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 Worcester we’d also try platformer with the Summer look.
- Type “Worcester” as where it’s from. The “Where’s it from?” field takes up to 24 characters. Your game is titled “Greetings from Worcester”; rename it if you like, e.g. “Summer at New Road”.
- Make the jokes yours. The pre-written lines are postcard and holiday flavoured. Swap one for something only Worcester would explain, like a line about Museum of Royal Worcester.
- 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.
Worcester postcard: questions
Will the game show Worcester Cathedral?
No. The game is titled “Greetings from Worcester” and ends with a postcard showing the place name in big retro letters and your message, but it doesn’t draw Worcester Cathedral. The Postcard look has far-off landmark silhouettes, but they’re generic, not Worcester’s. That’s what your jokes and message are for: mention Worcester Cathedral in a line and they’ll picture it.
What should I write on a postcard from Worcester?
Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Worcester Cathedral, a stroll by the Severn and a sauce-based souvenir. Can you spell it? I cannot.”
Can I put myself in a Worcester 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.
