Outsmarted Updates for 2023!
12 months ago – Wed, May 10, 2023 at 10:48:39 AM

Greetings, Outsmartians!

First up, thanks yet again for your backing of Outsmarted – it really means a lot and always will. Grab a coffee and get ready to read our lengthy update on what’s new in the Outsmarted world. We’ve been as busy as a) bees; b) a mosquito at a nudist colony; c) a moth in a mitten; d) all of the above improving all aspects of the game, from software to tech to questions. In short, we’re working our socks off honing, polishing and updating Outsmarted for you every day. This is only possible because of your confidence in the product, which was essential to us developing the platform and coming up with all our ideas – thank you all so much.

If you haven’t played Outsmarted yet, you can learn the game in just a couple of minutes. We have full instructions in the app: just select the orange ‘book’ icon (see image below) to open the full instruction guide.

Meanwhile, here’s what’s been happening (seriously, grab a coffee):

SOFTWARE UPDATE 2.0.5

We’re pretty much dancing with excitement over this one (which gets us odd looks in public). Our last Kickstarter update had us launching Version 1.3; we’ve now launched V2.0.5! It’s our biggest and boldest update yet – galactic light years from even 2.0.4, never mind 1.3 – we’re really excited about it and can’t wait for you to check it out.

Please pretty please remember to always download the latest version of the app on all devices – you’ve kindly paid to back us, so make sure you get maximum value. Check out the latest versions on the Google Play Store and Apple Store, plus on our website for up-to-date Windows.

(Speaking of which, if you use the Windows version of Outsmarted, it’s soooooooo vital that you update your software to the latest version, 2.0.5: https://www.outsmarted.co.uk/pages/downloads. We’re working flat out to get our Windows app listed on the Microsoft Store – hopefully by July 2023. Once that’s done, it’ll auto-update like it does on Android and iOS.)

NEW QUESTIONS CATEGORIES

Nerdy? Us? We’ve been thumbing through our encyclopaedias and have added new questions in a veritable plethora of categories. That makes 50 new question packs (in all English speaking regions and in Germany). And we’ve made a hefty selection of those free, because that’s how we roll.

Here’s a teeny selection of what we’ve added in the past few months:

Netflix – for the square-eyed among you. Come and (not) chill by tearing through this streaming-related trivia

Before They Were Famous – embarrassing early pictures of celebs, tracked down by us *evil cackle*

Logo Quiz – do you know how many points the Dominos logo would get in a dominoes game? You will soon.

Where on Earth? – know your Uluru from your Amboseli National Park? Show off/relentlessly boast about your geog knowledge on famous settings from around the world.

REMINDER KLAXON: Most of our new packs are 100-150 questions, designed for two or three games of Outsmarted. If/when you whizz through these and yearn for more, make sure to play the six Core categories which have over 6,000 questions per region – and with hundreds of new posers added in 2022. Want to know how much of a pack you’ve stormed through? Check the little orange/ red progress bar below each category pack listed on your app.

COMMENT ALLEZ-VOUS? REGIONAL VARIATIONS

Not content with adding stacks of new categories, we’ve also gone multilingual. Our Core Pack (six categories) questions are now available in French, Italian, German and Dutch. Additionally, for German – or German-curious – players, we’ve translated 40 question packs, now hot off the press and ready to use.

Free and paid packs specific to each region will be added throughout the year, such as Film & Fernsehen in Deutschland! and Schlager Und So, both added to Germany last month.

THE US OF A

As y’all might know, we officially launched in the US in December 2020. We started off with a fairly modest US-to-global question ratio, but that was always on the cards to change asap. Localisation has improved hugely for this market as we’ve added a whopping 700 US-specific questions in the past six months. As well as that, 2023 will see us add new US question packs covering sports, politics, geography and entertainment… and that’s just us getting started.

Quivering with barely repressed impatience? We hear ya. The first of our new US question packs will land with you in June. Quivering with always-ready geekiness? We’re looking for question writers for the US – get in touch if this is you!

¿CÓMO ESTÁS? OUTSMARTED IN SPAIN

We’ll have a Spanish version of our six Core categories ready to go by the end of July. We’ll also fully translate the app interface and include over 5,000 questions in Spanish. Once the physical box includes Spanish, we’ll officially launch and provide customer support in ES.

AUSSIES AND KIWIS

We thought on launch that we didn’t have plans to include a localised Australia or New Zealand version of Outsmarted, but how wrong we were. Because of a titan effort from two of our Kiwi backers (cheers, Matt and Simon!), we’ve now added over 1,200 questions local to the lovely Antipodes. All our other paid packs are of course available in both countries, and we’ll be adding heaps more Aussie-specific packs over the coming months. If you haven’t played for a while, hop to it!

CANADA

We have a skilled and sharp question writing team here at Outsmarted. One of our stars is Canadian, who’s written much of our paid packs as well as adding over 600 questions specifically for our Canadian audience. These were all recently added to our Canadian Core Pack, so get your game out and try out the new Canadian Outsmarted. (Reminder klaxon: update your software first for optimum Outsmartedness.)

COMING SOON

Did we say we’re dancing with excitement over our new software update? We’re practically bouncing with buzz over the upcoming software features, landing in your app very soon. Here they are in order of release:

QUIZBUCKS

Outsmarted needs its own in-game currency, right? Of course it does. Say sayonara to paid question packs from July, and hail HELL YEAH to the new Outsmarted currency. You’ll be able to use Quizbucks for all premium content – ka-ching!

Even better, you can get Quizbucks for FREE. Yep, you read that right. We’ll offer free Quizbucks throughout the game, so you can earn while you play. This will help support more free content too. (You stopped reading at ‘earn while you play’, didn’t you?)

THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING QUESTIONS

Ring questions are mega important in the game. But we want to make playing for and earning a ring something special, so that’s a big focus for our software development and content creation team over the next couple of months.

Our lips are mostly sealed as we don’t want to spoil the surprise, but we can leak at this stage that we’re making a major change in question style. Ring questions will move away from multiple choice to use six new formats – all the better for the live TV quiz show vibe we always envisioned and constantly strive towards. Like Quizbucks, the new format is also expected to launch in July.

BONUSES AND FINAL ROUND

The in-game bonuses will now incorporate Quizbucks. And for Final Round, we’re changing the format to really up the tension, again to emulate a live TV quiz. No pressure, eh.

CONTROLLER VIEW AND TV CONNECTION

Before the end of the year there will also be an overhaul of how the game works with multiple devices and remote play, as well as the mechanics for connecting to Smart TVs. Watch this space for more info.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Need some help while playing? Support enquiries are now centralised from within the Outsmarted app: just hit the ? icon and it’ll direct you to your region’s support enquiry form. We reply to the majority of enquiries within two to four hours from 9am – 5pm GMT, and all international enquiries within 48 hours. Also, we provide support in English, Dutch, German, Italian and French.

2023 GAME BOX DESIGN

We changed the physical incarnation of Outsmarted a little to have it fully up to date for retail (the board design and gameplay remains identical across all versions). We’ve made the miniatures pop more on the box, evolved the included leaflet and license key info, and included a plastic tray to keep all bits and bobs together. Of course, as with all things Outsmarted, you and all players always have instant access to the exact same continually evolving app. Win!

COMMERCIAL ENQUIRIES

We’re constantly on the lookout for distribution, content and licensing partnerships. Many of our regional questions have been written by Backers, and we’ve even established commercial partnerships with some backers (shout out to Comelasfoglia Studios in Italy).

We’re always open to talking to anyone who believes in Outsmarted and has value to offer in any part of the world. Check out our new QPlay website and feel free to get in touch if you want to collaborate: www.qplay.co.uk.

VENTURE CAPITAL INVESTMENT

We’ve recently secured our second round of investment, most of which has been earmarked for two essential Outsmarted aspects: software development and content creation. Our mission remains the same as it was on Day 1, to create the world’s most entertaining and best-value board game ever. Our original pledges started at £23 back in 2020 – we aim to be the best £23 you’ve ever spent.

What would you like us to improve? We’re all ears: please email our Marketing Director Isobel at [email protected] with any suggestions on what we could do better or more of, and any ideas you have for Outsmarted. We’d really love to hear from you.

CAREERS

Finally, want to join us? We’ve recently expanded the Outsmarted team to support content creation and software development, but we’re always on the lookout for talent across the board. If you’re interested in joining our team and have something to contribute to the mission, get in touch at https://www.qplay.co.uk/careers. And as above, we’re currently looking for question writers for the US: contact [email protected] if you’d like to have a go.

AND THAT’S A WRAP, PEOPLE

We did say you’d need a coffee… Thanks so much for checking out our updates and for being part of Outsmarted – as we said above, we’ve only been able to develop the game because of your confidence in and backing of the product. We appreciate it so much – thank you.

June Update - Outsmarted
almost 3 years ago – Fri, Jun 11, 2021 at 10:27:34 AM

Greetings backers!


Firstly, we know it's been some time since our last official Kickstarter update and want to thank you all for being patient. For those of you who have played Outsmarted over the past few months, we hope you like the improvements we've made to the software and questions, and our commitment to continual improvement of the product you backed. We aim to continue to provide more value over time. 


We'd also like to remind all backers posting comments that we have centralized our support via our dedicated support Website: https://www.outsmarted.app/contact-us-form.  We reply to 95% of all enquiries within 2-4 hours.  


So, what's been happening, and what's coming next... :


VERSION 1.3 HAS ARRIVED!!

We released V1.3 of the Outsmarted app 1 week ago, and it's our biggest leap yet. With over 40 improvements from V1.2, and an entirely new and improved interface. 


V1.3 also uses a new dedicated multiplayer engine environment, making the app more stable, helping to counteract some of the inherent threats with any multiplayer app (weak internet connections & lag), which we believe provides a smoother & more reliable gameplay experience. We tested a number of different ways to improve the remote play game experience based on feedback from backers, so we hope you all like the in-app voice chat and virtual board for remote players.


To coincide with the launch of V1.3 we've also renovated the entire Core Question Pack that comes with Outsmarted, which you all have access to.  Many of the questions you'll have already played back in December and January have been removed & replaced. Over 90% of questions now features either an image or video. Our Back 2 School category features 1,000 new questions written by secondary / high school teachers, based on the curriculum they teach, which we hope will further engage any juniors or teens playing! In our other categories, Breaking News, Pub Quiz and TV, Film & Books we have invested a significant portion of our sales revenue back into licensed imagery. It was always our goal to continually re-invest in Outsmarted, with some single images costing $100 or more, for use in our app.  


The one category we're still working on is Sound & Music. It's the most complicated in terms of licensing good quality content of all six categories. Global licensing associated with using music in our app is not just expensive, it's inherently complicated. So please be patient whilst we work to make this one of the best categories in the game. That's our plan! We don't want to put a timeline on how long it will take before the app features many of your favourite songs, but just know we're working on it! We hope to have this accomplished during the summer.


For anyone who hasn't played Outsmarted since the earlier versions, we now have Quick Start Instruction guide in the app (just tap on the question mark icon on the Home screen) or you can view them here directly: https://www.outsmarted.app/rules-instructions. We highly recommend downloading and viewing this guide before playing next, as it covers a lot of the nuances of gameplay in a concise manner.  If you're short on time, just skip through to Page 4 & Page 11, where we talk about the new Turbo Mode feature and new Remote Play options, respectively.


THE BACKERS' QUESTION PACK

You'll notice when setting up a new game in V1.3, you now have the ability to select questions from multiple question packs. This feature has allowed us to finally give access to the Backers' Question Pack.

To add the Backers' Question Pack to your game license, all you need to do is visit this link on our support website:

https://www.outsmarted.app/addpack . Enter your license key (found in the base of your game box) and in the Pack Code field, please enter: Backer Pack


Once done, go back into your Outsmarted app, start a new game, and you'll see the Backers' Pack is now available. Contact us on our Support website, https://www.outsmarted.app/contact-us-form if you have any issues.


An important note regarding the Backers' Pack is that it's not been editorialized by our team. Whatever questions backers provided, have been untouched by us. So if you find any errors with the questions, please let us know and we'll update them accordingly. 


Also note, since you can initiate games using multiple question packs,  questions will be served in the ratio that matches the number of questions in each pack. So if the Core Pack has 5,000 questions and the Backers' Pack has 1,000 questions, you can expect to get approximately 1 Backers' Pack question for every 5 Core Pack questions. If you select to play with ONLY the Backers' Pack, and you run out of questions, Outsmarted will automatically serve questions from the Core Pack, to ensure you don't get repeat questions. 


LANGUAGE VERSIONS

We're working on it! We've spent the past 5 months improving the Outsmarted app and our Core Question Pack. We realised we needed to perfect both of these areas before moving ahead with various language options. 

With that goal achieved, we're now full speed on multi-language support. You will notice that V1.3 already has Dutch language as an option, and we're in the process of working on French, German and Spanish. We will post an update, as-and-when these are available. The task is immense, because it's not only about translating 6,000 questions into each language, it's also about adding new & exciting questions specific to each language / country. So please bare with us, whilst we work on this. We are slightly behind our deadlines for French & German, so these are our priority.  We're aiming to have these ready for you, in July / August. Stay tuned for updates......


JULY 2021 - VERSION 1.4 - QUESTION STORE + WHAT'S COMING NEXT!

We're aiming to launch V1.4 in the first week of July. It's already been developed and we're testing it now. V1.4 is another exciting leap from the current version and will include the following great new features:

1. The Question Store - Firstly, thank you again for bearing with us on this. We aim to launch with a handful of new categories / packs and then continually add new packs as we go. 

Initial feedback has been very positive and we welcome all backers' feedback once V1.4 is launched! 

We'll put our question packs together based on your input. Our goal is to launch with a UK Sport pack, a US Sport pack, and a new Core Pack. With new category packs, like UK Sport, you'll have the option to swap categories in & out of the game. So let's say you're getting bored with your 10-year old winning because they're far too good at Back 2 School, you'll be able to swap out Back 2 School with UK Sport (for example), and let them beat you that way instead :). This is why we made the icons on the physical playing board semi-transparent from day 1, to ensure that the category colours allow Outsmarted players to cherry pick what 6 categories they want to include in their game.

2. Points-Based Game Option - We have a new variant of the game in development, too. This is a very exciting area of development, which we can't wait to show you.....  Gameplay will still work with the same basic premise - Collect the IQ Rings and reach the Final Round. However....... The winner will be determined based on points won and the format will be much closer to your typical TV game show experience; what we'd always envisaged for Outsmarted.

3. Remote Play Enhancement - We also aim to offer an even better remote play experience, specifically, we will allow players' to zoom in / out (pinch) the virtual board, and for the host to see the remote player's moves, too! Something which many backers have asked us to include having used V1.3. We're listening to your feedback!


AUTUMN / FALL 2021 - VERSION 1.5

By October, we really hope to have the best trivia board game in the world. Here are a couple of the features we'll be adding, in time for the cold weather bringing us all indoors again.....

1.  New Question Format - We won't be losing the A, B, C, D format, but we'll be evolving how you interact with it. So we'll be adding new questions based on putting the answers in a correct order.  For example: 

Question: Put these Al Pacino films in correct chronological order.

A) The Irishman B) Scent of a Woman C) Heat d) Godfather Part III

Now imagine putting those in order. Or better yet, putting them in order, going head-to-head against another player or team :). Which brings us to the next feature:

2.  Head-to-head - Outsmarted is a turn-based game. We are not planning to change that. But we WILL be making use of the multi-device support to leverage the competitive nature of the game and enrich the gameplay. V1.5 will allow players and / or teams to go head-to-head ON THE SAME question. 


For example. land on the same spot on the board as a competing team or player, and have the chance to go head-to-head with them, and steal one of their rings.... 


OR if the team / player in play fails to answer their question correctly then play could move to the team / player that managed to get the correct answer quickest. 


Thank you for reading the update. If you haven't already, get to it and please download 1.3 of the app and try the new questions!! For those who weren't enamoured with the early release back in December 2020, we want you to see how far it's come and we hope you'll be pleasantly surprised!


When we first created Outsmarted our goal was simple - to provide a totally new & unique gameplay experience that was more thrilling and involving. That is still at the core of everything we aim do. We will continue to improve both questions and software continuously to provide as much long-term value to our backers as we can. 


We wish you all well.

The latest app update is available & other news
about 3 years ago – Wed, Feb 10, 2021 at 07:15:25 PM

Hi Everyone, 

We hope you are all well and apologies for this long delayed update. 


VERSION 1.1 of the Outsmarted App 

Version 1.1 of the Outsmarted app is now available for download. If you're installing the Windows version please make sure to uninstall the previous version of the app first.


It is important to update the app to version 1.1 on all devices as the new version is not backwards compatible with version 1. 


The new version of the app adds a significant number of features, many of them not immediately apparent:


** The option to limit the duration of a player or team's turn when setting up a new game

** A much more stable and easy to follow remote-play setup

** The ability for controller devices to re-join a game if connection is lost at any point during gameplay

** The appearance of the characters on the question selection screen

** A pop up "news & information window" on the Home Screen

** Assists / lifelines default to zero in game setup   

** Shared player, game and question data between all devices - iOS, Android and Windows

** Repeat question issues now completely eliminated

** New separate Final Round questions, no longer drawn from the main question pack

** Quit game button on question selection screen

** Back button on pre-question screen

** Exit button on PC version 

** Bonuses available for correct answer now in a pop-up on pre-questions screen

** Numerous fixes to reported bugs and glitches

** Better handling of disconnection issues where internet quality is poor

** Size limit to player photo sizes to prevent glitches

** Final round timing issues fixed


The next update is due in around six weeks time and it's a really big one more about features than fixes!! So watch this space. 


BROKEN FIGURES

We know a few backers have one or in some cases up to three figures damaged in transit. Most of the spare figures we require have arrived today and will be sent out to you in the next few days. 


CANADIAN IMPORT FEES

For those backers that had to pay duty we are very soon going to be refunding you for any fees paid. We are sorry this occurred. It's an issue specific to UPS air mail. If we had used a slower ground service the custom's fees would have been far small and far less likely to be levied. We are waiting for our PayPal account to be up and running in the next week and will immediately make send the amounts paid to those of you in Canada that are out of pocket. 


SUPPORT

We love hearing from all of you. Please now that we are transitioning from the end of our Kickstarter campaign get in touch with us at www.outsmarted.app and use it as your first port of call for any kind of support you require. We will get back to you in most cases within a few hours. 


LATE BACKERS

Some backers did not complete the Backerkit survey in time for Christmas and those that completed it in December and any date up to mid-January your orders are on their way to you. Any backer that completed this survey in the past two weeks, your order will be dispatched in the next seven days. 


NEED ASSISTANCE FAST? 

We do still reply our Kickstarter messages on a weekly basis, but if you would like a quicker response please use the contact us form on our support website - www.outsmarted.app


Many thanks to everyone that has supported us these past 6 months. We are so happy that our game has been so well received and it's given us a springboard. Our backers will never be forgotten and you are very important to us.   


Our sole goal is to keep making Outsmarted bigger and better so that everyone enjoys the game, so if you have any suggestions please head over to our support website and let us know your feedback. We're always happy to hear any suggestions you might have. 


Many thanks again.


The Outsmarted Team

Quick Upate
over 3 years ago – Thu, Dec 24, 2020 at 11:46:30 PM

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update on our progress. 

USA & CANADA BACKERS

Despite our best efforts, Outsmarted will now be dispatched on Monday 28th. Our stock is finally in our possession, having spent 11 days on a boat, at the port of Long Beach, after having paid an exceptional amount for an express shipping service for our games to arrive on December 12th. 


We’ve had a number of backers who work in logistics message us directly, being very understanding of the delay, caused by factors outside of our control, due the dire situation at the ports in California. 

We did absolutely everything in our power to get everyone their order in time for Christmas. Having generating the shipping labels ahead of time, we had a team of 25 packers brought in on both the 15th and 21st, ready to dispatch Outsmarted, as our goods cleared US customs ahead of the vessel’s arrival, only for the container to not be offloaded, despite promises made to us. 

These are unprecedented times logistically, due to Covid-19-related labor & equipment shortages. It's as simple as - not enough crane operators to operate the port.


The goods news is, that they’re now finally in our possession, and will be dispatched Monday 28th, which is when you’ll start to see movement on your tracking. Keep in mind, USPS/ UPS will be collecting orders on a truck, so it’s unlikely they’ll be scanned at pick-up. The first scan might take place on Monday night/ Tuesday morning, after reaching a sorting centre. Canada orders are being shipping with UPS, as we know USPS will take too long. All US orders are being shipped USPS Priority Mail 1-3 days.


We want all of our American and Canadian backers to know that we have done our very best, lost a lot of sleep, shouted at a lot of people and we very much sincerely apologise, for delivering a few days late. The early feedback we're getting should give you some re-assurance, that our game is not just about Christmas, it's a game you will be playing for many years to come 🙏️ (we hope :). 

The app will continually improve over time, and we hope the delay will be a distant memory, even though you may be feeling frustration now. Whilst it may not be entirely relevant, for us it's also very disappointing. We invested endless effort and enormous expense into getting your orders to you ion time, only to be on the receiving end of waiting 11 days for a container to be moved off a boat. In any other year, we would have made it with time to spare.


For now, we ask for your patience whilst we get through this first phase, where our only goal is getting our game out to everyone.


UK BACKERS

We’ve dispatched all UK orders, and in some cases, caved into enormous pressure to re-send “lost” orders, at our expense, only to find that the original order arrived. We do not have sufficient stock to send every backer whose order is taking a little longer to arrive a replacement, so please be patient. We have done our best and almost every order will ultimately arrive. We can not control the unprecedented delays faced by our nation’s postal service, the Royal Mail. Royal Mail tracking doesn’t provide any intermediary updates, other than when it is delivered or delivery is attempted.


INTERNATIONAL BACKERS (Outside of USA, UK and Canada)

Your orders were dispatched from China, where the game was manufactured, to ensure it arrived on time. For each country we selected a courier service which should ensure the product is delivered before Christmas. As with all international package shipments at this time of year, we ask for you patience, as in current times, things may simply take a little longer. The orders are tracked and they will get to you, even if the tracking doesn't show you any information right now. Tracking kicks in typically once it’s been processed and sorted in your country. We are pleased to see quite a few these orders have arrived on time!


BACKERKIT FORM & SHIPPING

Almost all of our backers who are complaining about not having received their tracking, have not yet completed the shipping and address details & payment on Backerkit. Please get in touch and we will send you the link you require for payment and address details. We managed to add everyone up to yesterday (even backers that were a month late) to our list to fulfil, and so your orders (all countries) are on their way too, despite being 4 weeks since we asked for this to be done.


THE GAME ITSELF

We knew we had a good concept, but even we are humbled by the feedback we've had so far. We have received some great feedback from backers loving the game and that's what it was ultimately all about for us! Come January, we’ll be rolling up our sleeves, and will getting to work, improving the game and focusing on new features and gameplay, without the atypical stress of fulfilment of so many pre-orders. 


There are reports of some teething issues, which aren’t so atypical for a multi-platform app released at the pace we have been moving at. Most will be fixed in time for the next update. You can see the list here on our support website: KNOWN ISSUES - ANDROID / iOS & WINDOWS APP (outsmarted.app)


The next app updates will be available soon, and will not only fix most of the known issues described on this page but you can also expect a greatly improved connection process with connecting devices, that indicates which players/ teams are connected, and to what devices. Particularly useful for Remote Play.


A LOT MORE QUESTIONS!!!

We totally underestimated how frequently people would play Outsmarted. We'd figured that perhaps a couple of times over the holiday period, people would get around the table with family/ friends to play. We were so wrong about this! So we’ve had to react fast, when some customers are saying they’ve played 10 games in the first 3 days!!!

So, we're giving you more. The 3,000+ questions we promised is now on its way to 8,000 (it’s already at 6,000). And Deluxe game owners will get a further 4,000! So almost 3 times the promised number of questions. We hope everyone is happy with that.

We are working on licensing deals right now that will see movie clips, famous songs and entertaining new content added to the game, this will come in the first half of 2021.


Thanks to everyone, have an amazing Christmas and we will be in touch again soon.

UK Deliveries
over 3 years ago – Fri, Dec 18, 2020 at 01:27:50 AM

Hi,

Just a quick update as we are seeming to come under some unfair criticism on our Kickstarter comments boards regarding delivery to our UK backers. 


We have successfully dispatched 2964 of the 3100 games ordered by UK backers with tracking numbers. 


We have 136 remaining, the fault entirely down to our fulfilment company that is buckling under the strain and struggling to even get the courier companies to collect. 


We have been in touch with most of the remaining 136 backers and their orders will be dispatched by the fulfilment company for next day delivery today.  


We have so far only identified 4 damaged boxes and 5 missing games in the courier network and we are in touch with all of these backers and have offered a free replacement!!


We are a small start-up (hence the reason we are here on Kickstarter) and so the 5,000 emails / messages and support tickets we have received in the past 4 days is far beyond what we are able to keep up with.


We have managed to get our game out to our backers in 60 days as promised, at Christmas and in lockdown. That is an incredibly difficult undertaking. 


The majority of Kickstarter board game projects (that don't include the added complexity of software) deliver 12 months later in normal times and even then most are late.  


All we would ask is a little perspective and patience. We are doing our very best and everyone in our team is currently working 18 hours per day, mostly to reply to everyone's messages. 


Many thanks.
