The city on every postcard

The game's question

Read the clues one at a time, like postcards dropping onto the mat.

You knew it long before you ever set foot there. Red double-decker buses in the street, a bridge that lifts in the middle to let the boats through and postcards that came through the letterbox from someone on a trip. Which city is it?

  • Liverpool
  • London
  • Birmingham
Need a hint?

It begins like ‘long’ – the same three letters. Ask your mum or dad whether they ever went there, or who sent them a card from it.

See the answer

Answer: London – the red buses, the bridge that opens and the postcards.

Why this game : A city seen on so many postcards brings out stories of trips, sights and cards sent home.
