Greetings from Wrexham: send a postcard they can play

Wrexham went from football town to Hollywood storyline, but the Racecourse Ground has been hosting internationals since 1877, and these days fans fly in from around the world.

A photo of the Racecourse Ground 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 “Wrexham” as where it’s from, and send the link.

Who sends a postcard from Wrexham?

Football fans from abroad on a pilgrimage

Plenty of supporters have watched the documentary and crossed an ocean to see a match at the Racecourse. That trip deserves a postcard home.

Narrowboaters crossing Pontcysyllte Aqueduct

Steering a boat across a UNESCO-listed aqueduct high above the River Dee is a nerve-wracking, unforgettable moment, and a postcard is the perfect brag.

People who moved away from Wrexham

A weekend back home, with everyone asking whether you've met the owners, is worth a cheerful postcard to friends who've never been.

3 ideas for a Wrexham postcard game

Idea 1

Up the Town

Wrexham has had plenty to celebrate lately, so the new year look's champagne and hangover clouds suit a big match weekend.

Put this in

“Flew four thousand miles to watch Wrexham. Worth every penny, and every pie.”

Idea 2

Over the Aqueduct

Crossing the aqueduct is all nerves and views, and a one-tap summer flyer captures that sunny wobble.

Put this in

“Crossed the aqueduct by narrowboat. Did not look down. Okay, once.”

Idea 3

Wrexham Homecoming

A climber with someone waiting at the top suits coming home, and the parents' look of tea and laundry says 'back at Mum's'.

Put this in

“Came home to Wrexham. Mum had the kettle on and my washing done. Legend.”

What to write on a Wrexham postcard

  • Name-drop a landmark. “Wish you were here at St Giles' Church” works because it’s specific.
  • Mention what Wrexham is known for: Wrexham AFC and the Welcome to Wrexham documentary, or becoming a city in 2022. One specific detail beats “lovely views” every time.
  • Use the local word: “Iechyd da” (cheers). It instantly sounds like it was sent from Wrexham.
  • Keep the ending message short: one detail, one feeling, one sign-off. It reads better on a phone screen.

Ending messages to steal

  • “Iechyd da from Wrexham! Saw a match at the Racecourse and sang till I squeaked.”
  • “Narrowboat over Pontcysyllte Aqueduct today. Thirty-eight metres up and I held my tea steady.”
  • “Back in Wrexham for the weekend. Everyone asks if I've met the famous owners. Still no.”

Landmarks to name-drop

  • The Racecourse Ground
  • St Giles' Church
  • Erddig
  • Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
  • Chirk Castle

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

Wrexham postcard: questions

Will the game show the Racecourse Ground?

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

What should I write on a postcard from Wrexham?

Keep it short and specific: one place, one moment, one sign-off. For example: “Iechyd da from Wrexham! Saw a match at the Racecourse and sang till I squeaked.” You could also throw in “Iechyd da” (cheers).

Can I put myself in a Wrexham 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.
