Postcard London Bods takes the tourist-brochure version of the city and hands it to two people who now have to become it. London Bridge is, footnote included, actually a shape of Tower Bridge, because everyone gets that wrong; Nelsons Column needs one of you as the plinth and one standing very still on top; Sherlock wants the deerstalker hat and the pipe held at exactly the right smug angle. It's built for visitors who've just done the open-top bus tour, a family showing off the capital to relatives, or Londoners who've never actually been up the Gherkin and feel a bit caught out. Auntie Zeffie judges like she's watched every tourist fumble the same photo op for two centuries, because she has. Sixteen shapes, eight dealt a round, so the queue joke doesn't get old before round two does. No Oyster card required, just two people and a phone propped somewhere with a half-decent view.

How it works

  1. The card flips.
  2. You've got 10 seconds for the two of you to work out who's what and make the shape together.
  3. Bods! The camera catches it, Auntie Zeffie scores it and judges you.
  4. Share the result, or don't.
