The letterbox is always open

— we read everything; we reply to most things; we treasure the weird ones —

You can reach us the old-fashioned way at [email protected], or by post at Suite 3, 45 Collins St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia — yes, people actually do, and yes, we pin the postcards above the bench. Otherwise, the three forms below go straight to the same teapot-side inbox.

Just say hello

Received, with thanks! One of us will read this aloud to the other over tea, which is our entire editorial process.

Tip us about a game

Found a joker-themed casual game we haven't covered? This is our favourite kind of mail. Free-to-play games only, please — it's the house rule.

Tip received! It joins the queue on the corkboard. If it makes the bench, we'll credit the tip in the post unless you'd rather we didn't.

Letters to the Bench Post

Each fortnightly Bench Post ends with a letters section. Send us a short letter — a gaming memory, a strong opinion about jester hats, a correction we deserve — and it may appear there, first name only.

Your letter is in the letterbox. If it runs, you'll spot it at the bottom of an upcoming Bench Post — thank you for writing.

A note on your details: anything you type here is used only to read and answer your message, as described in our privacy page. We don't keep lists we don't need, and we never pass anything on.

We use one small cookie-like crumb to remember this choice, plus optional anonymous visit counting. The kettle's on either way — details in our cookie page.
