Backers,
We're making great progress on finalizing game elements and beginning hand-off to our production team.
BackerKit Survey
The BackerKit Pledge Manager survey has been emailed to all of you. If you haven't yet confirmed the elements of your pledge and provided your correct shipping address and billing info, please do so as soon as possible. We need this information to provide the Star Trek Online codes as well as prepare for production of the physical boxes.
Note: If you're using Kickstarter's extended payment program, you won't get your survey until after you've made your final payment in July. Rest assured if you're in that group, we'll provide time to complete your survey before we lock your order.
Orders Locked & STO Codes
We plan to lock down orders the week of June 15th to make sure we have a final count for game production. About a week after we lock orders and have the final counts, we expect to send out the Star Trek Online codes for Early pledgers and those that pledged at the Captain's and Admiral's Tiers.
Shipping Charges
Once we have a final ship date, we'll let you know and give you a chance to confirm your shipping address before we lock addresses and charge for shipping. Shipping costs will be as close to the estimates on the Kickstarter page as possible, but we'll update your BackerKit accounts with the final shipping costs when we announce we're locking addresses.
New Lower Decks: Chaos Protocol teaser images
Here's a sneak peek at some of the elements that will come with the Lower Decks: Chaos Protocol escape room game. Our latest playtests are proving escape is NOT guaranteed!
We'll continue to provide production and shipping Updates all the way through shipping so you know what to expect.
With the greatest appreciation,
Bill, Charlie, Jon, Matthew, and Paul

Captain's Log: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

To all our Star Trek Mystery and Escape Room Games Backers,
We did it! Thank you all for your support and encouragement throughout this campaign. Our Away Team is reporting that this mission was a success, and we're excited to get to work on production of both games.
We couldn't have done any of this without you, and we can't wait to hear stories from your Captain's Log of how long it took all of you to solve these games!
Next Steps
Once the dust settles over the next two weeks, we'll be sending out a BackerKit Pledge Manager survey email to all of you. In that survey, you'll be able to confirm the elements of your pledge, add any additional add-ons that are still available, and make sure we have your correct shipping address and billing info.
A month or so after we send out that survey email, we'll be locking down orders to make sure we have a final count for game production. We'll let you know a couple of weeks before we do that to give you a last chance to make any changes or additions to your pledge. At about this time, we expect to send out the Star Trek Online codes for Early pledgers and those that pledged at the Captain's and Admiral's Tiers.
Once we have a final ship date, we'll let you know and give you a chance to confirm your shipping address before we lock addresses and charge for shipping. Shipping costs will be as close to the estimates on the Kickstarter page as possible, but we'll update your BackerKit accounts with the final shipping costs when we announce we're locking addresses.
We'll provide production and shipping Updates up through shipping so you know what to expect.
With the greatest appreciation,
Bill, Charlie, Jon, Matthew, and Paul

Help us finish "Cerritos Strong"!
A huge thanks to everyone who helped us get this far. With your support, we've already exceeded our first Star Trek campaign from last year, and we've got two days to keep it going. We're excited to have such a great mix of previous backers, new customers, Star Trek fans, escape room and mystery fans, as well as our loyal group of Beadle & Grimm's supporters who keep our company going. We truly could not have created this game without each and every one of you.
We have less than 48 hours to go with the main campaign. While we will still be able to accept pledges for a short time afterwards via BackerKit, the special Kickstarter discounts will disappear at midnight tomorrow (Tuesday 5/5). So please help us get the word out to anyone who might still be considering a pledge!
As the Kickstarter winds down, we're still working hard behind the scenes to complete these two games and get them ready for production. To celebrate the closing days of our campaign, we wanted to share a few more non-spoiler-y images from Holosuite Homicide and Chaos Protocol. These images are not final versions, but they'll give you a taste of what you have in store. Enjoy!
Thanks again for your trust, support, and generosity.
Sincerely,

Thanks for your amazing support! And Mary Celeste Add-on added (US/CAN)!

Star Trek Backers,
Thanks for your continued amazing support! We've blown past our first Star Trek Kickstarter Campaign results and still have over a week left to keep spreading the word! So let all your friends know about this campaign before it's gone forever.
You all also surpassed our expectations by pledging ALL the available Admiral's Tiers, forcing us to go to our Canadian printers and see if we could increase our print run of the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Mary Celeste Escape Room game for this Kickstarter campaign. We were able to increase that print run for our North American backers, and have made a LIMITED NUMBER of Mary Celeste Escape Room games available as an add-on (US/CAN only). So if you weren't able to get one of the Admiral's Tiers, or you just want to add a SNW escape room game to your pledge, you can now add the Mary Celeste as an add-on. But we could only make a limited number of additional units, so they won't be around for long.
Unfortunately we're not able to print more Murder on the Titan-A before this Kickstarter campaign ends, but if we're able to make more available in the future you'll be the first to know!
We'll have more updates on the game design and production as we get final approved images and elements back from the Paramount Star Trek team, and we'll post them as soon as we can.
Thanks again for your amazing support,
Bill, Charlie, Jon, Matthew and Bill
Admiral's Tier re-opened! Thanks so much for your support!

Back by popular demand: the Admiral's Tier is re-opened!
Friends,
Due to inventory limitations, we initially capped the Admiral's Tier (the one that includes all four games at a reduced price) at 150 backers. We were so excited that the tier sold out in less than a day - thank you! - but that left a lot of you disappointed. Well, we've figured out a way to add more Mary Celeste and Titan-A games to the campaign, so today we have re-opened the Admiral's Tier for 150 additional backers. This will be the FINAL number, so if you're interested please jump in today!
If you have already placed an order at a different tier and want to adjust your order to the Admiral's Tier, there's plenty of time. Just log back in and change your order. This will not impact your standing as a "first 72 hours backer".
Again, we are so grateful and excited for the interest in our Star Trek mystery games. We're off to an amazing start. Thanks to everyone who has backed us so far, and please tell a friend!
Sincerely,
Bill, Charlie, Jon, Matthew, and Paul
