August Update
Hello wanderers!
Before we get into the book progress - first a quick update regarding surveys! There are missing backers who have not filled in the surveys through Backerkit. If you are one of them, check your emails for an invite. Otherwise you can message us or retrieve your survey through here -
https://mystified.backerkit.com/.
For the backers who backed at
The Chief Inspector and
The Wanderer level, please check your messages for a form we sent you. It's important to fill them in as we can't include your commission in the book until you do.
Next update is that we're officially launching Flabbergasted on Foundry and Alchemy!
We promised to get Flabbergasted to a VTT platform and after looking for developers to work with and what options are available, we've decided to go for Foundry and Alchemy. We're so excited that
Hod Publishing are going to be developing and publishing
Flabbergasted for Foundry. It will be out in September!
We will announce the release date for Alchemy soon as it's still early on in the process :)
Next update is regarding the book progress!
We're currently in the process of writing the book and playtesting it further. There's still quite a bit of writing to be done with the mysteries and cities but we hope it'll be mostly ready by our next update and we can show some art and book layouts then.
Here is where we are at with regards to writing the book and the current structure:
-
1 - The Start | 100% written | editing left
-
The Players | 100% written | editing left
-
2 - The Mystery | 90% written
-
Running the Mystery | 90% written
-
3 - Expanded Rules
-
Secret Societies | 100% written
-
Club Upgrades | 100% written
-
Combat | 100% written
-
4 - The Tale
-
Pembrook | 50% written
-
Detailed Mystery | 25% written
-
Short Mystery Sheet | 0% written
-
Porto Verde | 0% written
-
Detailed Mystery | 0% written
-
Short Mystery Sheet | 0% written
-
Kravenspire | 50% written
-
Detailed Mystery | 0% written
-
Short Mystery Sheet | 0% written
-
5 - The Extras
-
Occult in the 1920s | 100% written | editing left
-
Tables | 100% written
We're estimating that most of the writing will be done by October/November. We'll then be able to edit and lay out the book by end of the year/early next year. We'll then need to proofread and beta test the final book and do more edits as we go along.
Please message us if you have any queries or need help with anything.
Next Backerkit campaign!
A quick update from Mystified – we're excited to announce that we're launching a new game called
DEADLINE this September on BackerKit! We'd love for you to check it out, give us a follow, and share it with anyone who might be interested. You can learn more about it
here!

Pre-order store open! Surveys being sent out!

Hi everyone! It's time for our first post-funding update!
We've been working on writing out Mystifed and opening up our pre-order store so first things first:
BackerKit Surveys
Surveys are set and will be arriving in your emails next week! A small group have already received their surveys as we sent out a test batch.
When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you'd like. Responding to your survey quickly will help us have all the information we need to print the appropriate quantities soon :)
After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under “Lost your survey?” on our BackerKit project page at https://mystified.backerkit.com/
Pre-Order Store is open
If you or someone you know missed out on the Backerkit campaign, worry not! The
pre-order store is open and you can still snag a copy of Mystified, Flabbergasted, and any other goodies!
Shipping Collected Later
You may notice that you aren't charged for shipping in your survey nor are the shipping prices available currently.
Due to the volatility of shipping prices globally right now, shipping fees for this project will be calculated at a later date once we have the best estimates for everyone. We will charge backers for shipping a month or two before fulfilment when we have better estimates of what it will cost to ship backers' rewards. We will alert backers when shipping costs are finalised & before we charge your cards in your BackerKit survey. We will keep you informed along the way!
The Chief Inspector/The Wanderer
For those backers who pledged for a Chief Inspector or Wanderer reward, we will be sending you a survey soon. For now, think about what custom drawing you would like and collect some image references :)
UKGE 2024
Unrelated to Mystified and surveys but wanted to let you all know that we'll be at UKGE in Birmingham next week! If any of you are visiting UKGE this year, please do come say hi at our stand
2-898!
Please message us if you have any queries or need help with anything.
❤️ Fleur & Chelsea

Hello wonderful backers ❤️
Firstly, thank you all for a fantastic campaign! We've managed to do better than our first campaign with Flabbergasted which we are just floored about :D
We'd have made this update sooner, but we took a much-deserved break this weekend and are now back to working on Mystified!
Aside from working on writing Mystified, we'll also set up the pledge manager, where you can add any extra add-ons, pledge if you missed the campaign, and submit your address. This will be going live in about a month.
When that's live, we'll also deliver the Flabbergasted PDF and any other PDF add-ons.
As for those backers who got the custom hand-made dice or the Pet Portrait/Character pledge levels, we'll reach out to you requesting details in about a month as well.
Talk to you soon in the next update! Join us on our
discord server in the meantime.
❤️ Fleur & Chelsea

Hello Wanderers!
Only 4 days left in our campaign! I can't believe it's almost over! We're so grateful for every person who's backed, shared, and supported us in any way.
With only 4 days to go, we've unlocked almost every stretch goal. Since our last update, we've unlocked the
Pet Supplement PDF which will be included in all pledge levels. So excited to write this supplement! 🐶🐱
The last stretch goal left is at 45k and will unlock two additional short mysteries (occult & adventure themed). Help us unlock them! ♡
❤️ Fleur & Chelsea
