They're on the way! 

It's finally here! We've packed all the Starlings games and they're on their way to you now! For domestic orders in the US, expect them to arrive this week! For international orders, expect them to arrive shortly after that. 

On Monday we're thrilled to announce that you'll be able to experience the Starlings Adventure box with an accompanying 40 minute audiovisual experience! Many of our friends from the Original Studio C cast leant their voices to the experience. We think you're going to love it!

Thank you again for all your support! If you have any questions or concerns, or haven't yet been able to respond to Backerkit survey, please reach out!

It’s. Finally. Here. 

The production of the games, graphic novels and cubes are finished! The Starlings boxes are currently on their way to our HQ and then immediately thereafter to your tables.

We recieved some samples from the batch (see above) and it is even better than we anticipated! The finish, the quality, the fun. 

Thank you for your support and patience as we’ve experienced setbacks and delays. We think the end result is worth it and can’t wait to hear what you think.

Dear Starlings Backers,

We’re thrilled to report that production is going fantastically! After jumping through some fun magnet regulations, the games have been manufactured and are currently being kitted. The Starlings Cubes are being engineered as we speak.

We are still on target for our delivery estimate from last update. The Starlings Boxes are all set to be shipped to you in October!

Also, because of crumby production delays, with the last update we promised an added perk of an audiobook experience. Since then, we’ve discovered that a full audio/visual adventure is the best, most immersive experience. So, each of you will be upgraded to essentially a cartoon episode along with your Starlings Boxes.

Thank you again for all your patience and support with such an adventure!

Onward,

The Vance Brothers

Important update on delivery, Backerkit surveys and more
over 1 year ago – Fri, Jun 30, 2023 at 06:26:34 PM

Hello Starlings agents,

We’ve been hard at work building the world’s first graphic novel escape room. And we’ve learned the not-so-fun production delays that come with making a game this intricate. (We won’t bore you with details, but making magnets child-friendly is a beast. Kids, stop swallowing magnets!)

Fortunately we’ve resolved our hiccups and the games and cubes are looking incredible!

Unfortunately, because of these delays, instead of delivering the Starlings boxes in August, we will sadly be delivering them in October.

We sincerely apologize to those who were banking on an August delivery. And we want to make it up to you.

So during our extra time, we will be creating a comedic audiobook experience for all of you! Now, as you play the game, you can listen to an accompanying, humorous audiobook that guides you through the puzzles. This audiobook will be included in all tiers.

Lastly, the Backerkit surveys will be going out early next week. You’ll be able to confirm your address, pay for shipping, and select any add-ons you’d like.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. And thank you so much for your patience and support! We couldn’t do this without you.

Gratefully,

The Vance Brothers

Phase 2 begins! 🔥

Dear Starlings Agents,

After several rounds of iterating through samples, we are finally to the point of production!

The escape room puzzles are looking great! The graphic novel story is locked and even has had some early praise from publishers! (Attaching a sneak peak below). The starlings cube was suprisingly tricky to nail with the factory, but it’s looking fantastic now.

Now that we have a finalized box size, we’ll be sending out backerkit surveys for shipping details within the next two weeks.

Thank you for your patience and support!

p.s. Here’s a sneak peak scene from the graphic novel. It’s the moment when the Starlings crew brings Hoodie onto their ship. Enjoy!
