Description:

Let's brighten up your partner's day and get a little creative by sending a naked and stamped postcard (PC) of any building (e.g., house, hotel, skyscraper, etc.). On the back-left of the postcard, write a short, specific review (give it a rating on a 1 to 5 star scale) of the building, as if it were written by a disgruntled or overly enthusiastic tenant. Leave a tip for the next tenant or advice to building management if you wish.

Here are some examples to get your creative juices flowing:

  • ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ (5 stars) - The ambiance is unparalleled. My 14th-century room is drafty, yes, but the stone is gorgeous. The resident ghost is an incredibly quiet roommate; he even returns misplaced items. TIP: Do not leave food out.

  • ⭐️ (1 star) - The acoustics are a disaster. Every time my neighbor sneezes, it takes 45 seconds for the echo to die down. The "gargoyle water features" are merely broken gutters. TIP: Management never answers the pigeon-messenger service.

  • ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ (4 stars) - It's an old apartment block, so the windows rattle when the wind changes direction, and the bathroom faucet plays a tune, but the built-in library shelves are amazing. The rent is fair, provided you ignore the humming. ADVICE: Install a decorative decoy tin on every radiator in the building and advertise it as a "Historic Vibration Dampener." It will save on maintenance calls.


This is a USA swap. If there is interest in a global version, please comment below.


Include the name of the swap (i.e., Swap-bot: CPG: Fictional Tenant Review PC #1 - USA) and your swap-bot ID on the postcard. THIS IS MANDATORY as we have swappers who swap in groups outside of swap-bot.


I will angel if necessary, but you must communicate with me and your partner before giving a low rating. Items do get lost in the mail! If you cannot meet the deadlines of this swap, don't sign up. Additionally, please rate your partner promptly and send on time. Give your partner a 5 if you receive the swap according to the requirements. Hearts are up to rater's discretion.

Any questions, please contact me via swap-bot message or leave a comment below. Happy swapping!
