The Postbox Game

Discover Britain's hidden history, one red box at a time.

The UK is home to over 115,000 postboxes — and each one carries a secret. The cipher stamped on the front reveals the monarch who reigned when it was installed: a Victorian VR, a rare Edwardian EVIIR, or the fleeting EVIIIR of a king who abdicated after just 11 months. Most people walk past them every day
without a second glance.

The Postbox Game turns your daily commute into a treasure hunt.

HOW IT WORKS

Use the fuzzy compass to sense postboxes nearby, then go and find them. When you're close enough, scan to claim. Answer a quick quiz to identify the royal cipher, and the points are yours. Each postbox can only be claimed once per day, so there's always a reason to explore somewhere new.

POINTS BY ERA

Rarer ciphers earn more:

- Edward VIII (EVIIIR) — 12 pts · Rarest of all
- Charles III (CIIIR) / Edward VII (EVIIR) — 9 pts
- Victoria (VR) — 7 pts
- George V/VI, Scottish Crown — 4 pts
- Elizabeth II (EIIR) — 2 pts
