Latest Updates from Our Project:
PROJECT UPDATE #24 (THE FINAL PUSH)
over 2 years ago
– Tue, Jun 21, 2022 at 03:12:49 AM
PRINTING & MANUFACTURING
THE GREAT NEWS: Yarg's Guide to Puzzles & Traps is in its final review!!! We've cleaned out most of the issues and are doing some final checks and adjustments to ensure this book is precisely what we want it to be. This is mostly just tweaking the layout and making sure everything looks wonderful but the book is all but complete and we're super excited to get it off to the printers VERY shortly.
THE "NOT-SO-GREAT BUT WE FOUND A SOLUTION" NEWS: We've been really struggling with our first choice of manufacturer for the past couple of months. There were some originally quoted timelines that seem to be growing at every turn, so we decided to part ways with them and find someone more reliable who can reduce our project times. We've landed on a local print shop (for the books and cards) and a secondary location in the U.S. for the jigsaw puzzles. What this all means is that instead of an end of July delivery, we're probably looking at an end-of-August delivery. (Which is approximately +1 month from our originally intended goal). Apologies for the slight delay in delivery, we're hoping this shift in manufacturers will mean no further delays and acleaner rollout for everyone. THANKS for your patience.
We'll let everyone know once the files have been officially sent off to the printers and we'll be sure to get images of the books coming off the press.
SHIPPING
Once the printing, manufacturing and packaging are completed, we'll be shipping packages out shortly after. There will be more information to come on this front, but since we've changed printers it obviously shifted our rollout plan significantly. When the process begins we'll let everyone know and give you the tracking numbers so you can keep an eye on your packages.
MORE TO COME...
That's it, for now, on the update front. Thanks, everyone for your continued patience as we've been dealing with these production hiccups. I know the updates have been sparse recently but they should increase more and more as the project enters its final stages. Thank you as well for the continued love and support! We're building this company brick by brick and it couldn't be done without you.

Last chance to complete surveys!
We wanted to send out a final reminder for backers to complete their surveys before we start locking them down. In order to receive your pledged products, we need you to complete the surveys as soon as possible. We don't want anyone left behind so please do it at your earliest convenience!
Please check your email or junk folder for the Backerkit Survey.
If you have any issues at all please contact our support team at: [email protected]
FINAL TOUCHES:
At this point, we're a couple of weeks behind schedule due to some unforeseen absences, but everyone's back to being healthy now. We're putting a lot of the final touches on the book/cards/etc. at the moment and making sure we don't miss anything before we send it out to the printers. We've worked very hard to make these traps/puzzles very flexible in terms of difficulty and we're hoping you enjoy playing them as much as we liked creating them. We put together a huge variety of encounters that range from simple contraptions to complex encounters.
The preorder store is still open. If you missed the campaign you can now lock in your pre-orders. You can find the storefront here. If you know someone missed out please feel free to share! Thanks, as always, for being such a great community.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: SURVEYS CLOSING SOON

SURVEYS CLOSING!
This is a reminder for anyone who has not done so, to please complete your surveys. We will be locking surveys in very shortly and we want to make sure you guys get everything you pledged for. Thank you to everyone who has completed them already! We can't wait for you to get a hold of Yarg's Guide and all the wonderful add-ons we've included!
Reminder: Digital Only Pledge Levels
When you go to finish your survey, the Backerkit system will ask you for a credit card to complete the survey EVEN though you may not have any items being shipped to you. This is a known issue within Backerkit at the moment and here is their response to help guide you through the process.
*Digital Only Pledge Levels*: If no physical products are selected, you will still be asked to provide your credit card to complete the survey for shipping costs. Shipping costs will not be added to your order if you do not have physically shippable items, and you will not be charged for shipping costs. However, the card is still required to submit the survey. If you are not comfortable providing your payment details, you can wait until we announce shipping charges have been added to the survey. At that time your order should still reflect $0 due and you can submit the survey without a credit card.
We apologize to anyone for this inconvenience. We didn't know this was an issue until we went through with the smoke tests. Just be aware you have the two options above and can select whatever is the most convenient. Thank you for your patience.
The preorder store is still open. If you missed the campaign you can now lock in your pre-orders. You can find the storefront here. If you know someone missed out please feel free to share! Thanks, as always, for being such a great community.
Surveys & Pre-Order

Surveys Are Going Out Today!
You read correctly! The surveys are going out today and we're super excited to finally hit this stage of the process. We ran through the 'smoke test' and there doesn't seem to be many widescale issues, so we're ready to move forward with the rest of the list! There are a couple of things we want to clarify though, to make the process as transparent and clear as possible.
1)SHIPPING WILL BE CHARGED AT A LATER DATE
We've chosen to have shipping charged at a later date with a new feature provided by Backerkit. The reason for this is the obvious delays and hectic world of global shipping at the moment. This allows us to get more accurate shipping information closer to the date.
2) DIGITAL ONLYPLEDGE LEVELS
When you go to finish your survey, the Backerkit system will ask you for a credit card to complete the survey EVEN though you may not have any items being shipped to you. This is a known issue within Backerkit at the moment and here is their response to help guide you through the process.
