BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.
Project FAQ
What is the timeline for the project?
We plan to close the crowd funding round at the end of September. We are planning for 2 - 3 weeks for post-campaign surveys and 6 - 8 weeks for production. We expect to ship in early 2026!
Do I need to be an artist to play?
Absolutely not! In fact, being terrible at art is practically an unfair advantage in this game. Think "so bad it's good" masterpieces.
How long does the game last?
Typically about 15 minutes. We know cats have a short attention span and didn't want to stress them out by distracting you while you could be giving them treats!
Can I use crayons instead of pencils?
Absolutely! Finger paints, sidewalk chalk, makeup... if it makes marks, it's purr-fect for kitty scribbles.
Can I play alone?
Of course! Solo cat drawing is purr-fectly acceptable. Your cats will judge you either way.
What's the maximum number of players?
Big or small, any crowd can play along!
What if I actually CAN draw a bad cat?
Impawssible! You've cat to be kitten me right meow if you think you can draw a bad cat.
Should I get the physical or digital version?
Why not both? You can never have too many ways to draw adorable disasters.
What if someone in my group is actually good at drawing?
Don't worry, a few rounds of this game should take care of that!
What are these "cat butt cards" everyone's talking about?
It is a moment of realism in a game of absurdity. We want you to have an authentic feline encounter.
