Description:

Let's brighten up your partner's day and get a little creative by sending a naked and stamped touristy postcard (PC). The PC should have the name of the location on the front and should be store-bought (no ad, free, handmade, or coloring postcards allowed).

As an overly cautious, deadpan Emergency Response Coordinator, write a 2 - 4 sentence alert detailing the cause of the evacuation, which should be a ridiculously non-threatening and specific event, and the required action on the back left of the PC.

Here are some examples to get your creative juices flowing:

  • (A NYC PC) - ALERT!! The pigeon is perched atop the Empire State Building and is aggressively critiquing everyone's life choices and fashion sense. REQUIRED ACTION: Abandon your commutes and proceed into the nearest tunnel. Do NOT look up, especially if wearing last season's coat. All coffee carts must remain in place as a distraction sacrifice.

  • (A London PC) - ALERT!! The Crown Jewels have spontaneously developed severe emotional distress and are staging a highly dramatic sit-in. REQUIRED ACTION: Evacuate all premises and proceed in an orderly, single-file queue toward the countryside. Do NOT look directly at the jewels or attempt to take photographs; their feelings are highly fragile.

  • (A Tokyo PC) - ALERT!! All vending machines in the city have simultaneously fused into one enormous, benevolent, but highly judgmental, robot. REQUIRED ACTION: Proceed to the nearest elevated walkway and evacuate on foot. Do NOT use the trains. Do NOT question the robot's intentions or its choices in beverage dispensing; it is sensitive about its size.


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: Emergency Evacuation Notice PC - 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!
