Happy Tuesday Ghosts & Ghouls 👋
First of all, a huge thank you so much for joining us on this journey, it's been truly amazing and we're so excited for what comes next.
Starting this week, we're in full-time development mode for Doomensions. But first, some information for all your good selves:
Missed out on the Kickstarter campaign? We've set up a late pledge pre-order through BackerKit! 🎉
Now's your chance if you're still keen but missed the deadline. You can still get in on the Doomensions action before we ship.
The pre-order store will remain open until November 30th, 2022. Follow the link here to join the campaign as a late pledge:
https://doomensions.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Please note, these pre-orders will not include shipping either. Shipping will be organized closer to the fulfillment date.
If you've already backed, you can sit back and relax. Late pledges are for folks who missed the end of the campaign. If you know anyone who missed out, please send them our way.
ALL PRE-ORDER PLEDGES WILL COUNT TOWARD THE CAMPAIGN STRETCH GOALS!
We'll be working with BackerKit to manage everyone's pledge. Through BackerKit we'll be able to collect your shipping information and customization details, and you'll be able to manage your pledges and add more add-ons if you like.
We'll be opening up BackerKit closer to the fulfillment process and you'll be the first to know when this is live. You'll receive an email from us here on Kickstarter to fill out a survey, and also receive a notification email from BackerKit.
These surveys are mandatory!
Without them, we won't know where to ship your game. So be sure to keep an eye out.
Last but not least, we suspect you're wondering what's next for the project... Here is our projected timeline:
As we have seen in the past couple of years, any best-made plans can have unforeseen outside influences. If any of these dates change for any reason, we'll communicate it quickly and clearly.
We're aiming to keep you updated on how Doomensions is going once every couple of weeks. We'll share updates from the teams, including photos and videos as we go along.
We also have a Discord channel, which you're welcome to join here.
First of all, a huge thank you to EVERYONE who backed our Doomensions Kickstarter campaign. We feel so humbled by the support we've received and the interest in something we've made.
While we exceeded our original goal and this campaign went far beyond what we thought possible; one of the most satisfying parts of the campaign for us was the community that built up around the audio puzzles and the product in general. Though the campaign may be over, the fun part is really just beginning. We are excited to bring this project to life and continue to build the community, so that when you get your hands on Doomensions it's something that, not only (hopefully) surpasses your expectations, but also becomes a game you feel that you've had a hand in shaping!
So from all of us at Curious Correspondence and The Mysterious Package Company - a huge thank you!
Not to worry, in case you missed the Kickstarter deadline, we'll be opening up late pledges on Tuesday next week through BackerKit.
First of all, great work! This audio puzzle series was designed to challenge and push players to think outside of the box. No matter how many you got right, we're impressed! 👏
Your next step is to head to this link and input your 10-digit code: doomensions.com
From here, you'll unlock a final audio clip and your prize. This will be open until the end of September, so don't stress if you are short on time right now.
Still puzzling through them, or need a hint? You can catch up at any time before Doomensions pledges are fulfilled here:
And don't forget, we have a Discord channel for discussion here.
Now that the Kickstarter campaign has concluded... first, we take a deep breath over the weekend. Then, we're going to regroup as a team on Monday to talk about next steps.
We will be releasing a Post-Campaign timeline for you as an update on Tuesday next week.
We released the approximate shipping estimates earlier in the campaign, but we'd like to take this opportunity to re-share the shipping grid so that everyone is on the same page! We are using a bunch of the shipping partners that we use for all our other experiences. They offer fast and reliable shipping worldwide, meaning once we ship you won't have to wait very long!
Don't forget, these prices do not include international customs fees, and your shipment may be subject to taxes by your local government for which we are not responsible.
We understand it's a difficult time and if for any reason you need to cancel your pledge, we completely understand. Let us know before September 21st by messaging us with the reason you're canceling, and we should be able to process that for you right away. After September 21st, refunds will be subject to a small fee. This covers the fees we have paid to Kickstarter. Alternatively, if you'd gift certificate to use at Mysterious Package Co or Curious Correspondence instead of a refund, just let us know!
Take care, and we'll see you soon with more development updates on the project! 👋
Greetings Ghosts & Ghouls...
This is the last call for all of those wanting to get their hands on the very first copies of Doomenions; you have until tomorrow (Thursday) morning at 9:54 AM ET to get in your pledges.
The next stretch goal is the printed hint book added into Doomensions, and wouldn't it be exciting if we hit it mere seconds before the campaign ends?
So, what are we waiting for? Let's make this final day count!
Upgrade your pledge
At the top of our Kickstarter page you'll see a button "Manage Your Pledge", from here you're welcome to upgrade your pledge. In fact we've recently added a few more VIP levels which are selling out fast. Curious? Read about what you get with the VIP pledge here.
Add an add-on
One of the great things about Kickstarter is it allows us to sell our regular games and have those count towards the campaign! To tide you over before Doomensions ships, why not consider picking up a copy of our award-winning Curious Correspondence Club series, or try your hand at being a detective in Post Mortem? Add-ons are also available via the Pledge Manager.
To include an add-on through Kickstarter just go to the manage pledge tab option. On the pledge page hit the next button, that will take you to the add-ons section.
Word of mouth!
Seriously, telling just one other person about the campaign is a huge help! If you know other puzzlers who might enjoy playing Doomensions, tell them! Why not share the campaign in your Facebook group, Tweet about it, post on your Instagram, or even send smoke signals into the sky. Whatever works for you.
We appreciate your support, we can't wait to make this dream a reality.
Greetings Curious Creatures of the Manor,
It's the final countdown! 🎸
*insert epic electric guitar music here*
It's official, we have less than 48 hours left! To be specific, you have until Thursday morning at 9:54 AM ET to get your pledges and upgrades in.
So far this campaign we've been absolutely blown away by all your support. From the joy we've had watching everyone solving the audio puzzles, to all the kind comments you've sent in, to all your helpful suggestions and just being here to witness folks band together to help reach each new stretch goal.
And you (yes, you reading this!) have been THE BEST community.
But we need to ask your help one last time. Let's make this last 48 hours really count!
If you haven't already, now is your last chance to back Doomensions. If you have, you can still support the campaign by upgrading your pledge, or adding an add on, or simply by spreading the word.
So far we've smashed through many stretch goals, making the version of Doomensions our Kickstarter backers will receive even bigger and better!
Folks who back now will unlock all of the following added automatically onto their pledge:
In the final 48 hours, the next stretch goal to unlock is the Printed Hint Book. This makes Doomensions an entirely offline experience, as players will be able to check their hints as they go from a book, rather than in an online tool.
If we're really lucky, we might just hit the next stretch goal: LED Lights added into Doomensions too! 🤞
Don't forget, throughout this campaign we've been dropping a series of audio puzzles which, when solved, will each give a single-digit number. But to find that number, you'll need to think outside the box! At the end of the campaign, anyone who manages to solve all the puzzles will discover a code to add a special, exclusive prize onto their pledge!
To gain access to all the puzzles, all you need to do is pledge an amount - even just $1, and all backer only updates will become available. Once you've pledged, you keep access to all those puzzles even after the campaign ends.
Head back through our previous updates to get started on solving the audio series!
Until next time,
Thanks for all your support so far!
