The Final Mile — One last delivery
Fun browser game utilising Royal Mail Tracking Codes
I’ve spent 23 years at Royal Mail, both as a postie and in management.
So naturally, I’ve made a game about delivering parcels after the apocalypse. 😂
It’s called The Final Mile.
As a kid, I loved Barcode Battlers. There was something brilliant about an everyday barcode becoming part of a game. I’ve always liked finding new uses for things that already exist, so Royal Mail tracking numbers felt like a fun place to start.
Enter a tracking code and the first two letters choose your monsters. The nine digits shape your steps, supplies and delivery address. A different code gives you a different round.
Deliver one last parcel, then get back to the van. The catch? Once you’ve delivered, the monsters get faster and start hunting you.
Thankfully, there’s tea. ☕
It’s a fun, unofficial personal project, free to play in your browser. Give your tracking code a go and see whether you can finish your round:

The world ended. Your round didn’t.
