Project FAQ
All orders will be manufactured in and shipped from the US. If you’re local to the Philadelphia area, pickup will also be available free of charge.
Not if you are in the US, but for other countries tariffs may apply. Unfortunately, we’re unable to make any guarantees regarding changing rates of customs, tariffs, or import fees due to the unpredictable nature of these policies at this time and for the foreseeable future.
Absolutely! There are a few different play formats listed in the book that allow for a multiplayer mode. This can range from two Hosts (a la the old Car Talk radio show or the My Favorite Murder podcast) or a Host and fact-checker producer, to a single Host with multiple sequential Callers or multiple Callers all gathered around a phone, having witnessed a cryptid sighting together. The CryptID Show is a framework on which to build whatever sasquatch-laden scene fits you and your table!
Rest assured, the fulfillment timeline on Sin Eater (Anica’s other game that recently finished crowdfunding and is currently in production) will not be impacted by The CryptID Show. The former is still on track for a June 2026 fulfillment and public launch date.
Of course! Feel free to make up your own cryptids, encounter locations, and effects on both the cryptid and the caller. You’re also free to pull from real-world cryptids, folklore, legendary creatures, and mythology, although we recommend researching a bit to ensure you’re being respectful of the cultures from which these cryptids hail.
No AI or LLMs were used at any point in the making of The CryptID Show, this BackerKit page, or any secondary or tertiary assets associated with this project, such as marketing materials or social media posts. All art, words, layout, messaging, etc. was and will continued to be created by real human beings, except for Gary in accounting, who is a giant, sentient pile of rotting vegetable matter. However, he's an absolute wizard with a spreadsheet, so we put up with the smell.
We cannot believe we need to say this, but of course, beyond a shadow of a doubt, Bigfoot is [REDACTED]
BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
