The Postbox Game Live

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 COMPETE Climb daily, weekly, monthly, and lifetime leaderboards.
