Hello Shady Pets Backers,
We're so excited to announce that we've exceeded over 900 backers and unlocked our $30K stretch goal! Thank you so much for this amazing reception to our game! We've also unlocked our 3rd social goal which means that we're going to announce a new celebrity pet shortly. We just need to lock down a few details with the pet owner. We're sure you'll be impressed with this very famous selection!
Here's what we've unlocked for you so far ...
Here's what's next:
Once we hit this stretch goal we're going to upgrade all of our boxes to matte finish. The matte finish deliver a smooth, subtle look and show little to no sheen, as they absorb light. We had some samples made in matte finish and everyone loved them over the gloss finish. It's the perfect touch for a game called "Shady" Pets.

Lots of action last week! First, we soared past our $25K stretch goal and have now upgraded all game boxes to double score sheets plus each backer will receive a free PDF download so you can print extra score sheets if you run out! We added up to $750 to our photo contest prize pool!
Plus, we're less than 50 votes to go to achieve our Social Goal for contest votes. See below.

Once we hit this goal (Tues/Wed), you're going to receive our exclusive Kickstarter "No Way" action cards which will be inserted in each action card deck. One will be in the Original game box, and one in the NSFW box. Order the Combo Pack and get them both! (Cards below are samples and not the actual card designs for this stretch goal bonus.)

We did it! We now have 104 total contest entries and we're super excited to unlock this social goal so we can announce that Pringle, a bearded dragon living in Geelong, Australia, will be joining the Shady Pets game and will be featured on the #3 Shady Reptile Card. Pringle has over 16.3K followers on Instagram and is one of the most famous reptiles on the Internet! We love Pringle!
Almost: 1st Stretch Goal Less Than $800 Away!
We should hit this tonight or early tomorrow morning! Once we hit $25K in pledges, we will unlock this stretch goal bonus. We're at $24,300 right now!
Besides getting double score sheets in every box, we're going to make a PDF download available to all of our backers so you can print extra score sheets if you run out!
Reveal: Stretch Goal at $30K
This stretch goal bonus is super cool! Once we hit this goal, we're going to have some exclusive Kickstarter "No Way" action cards created and inserted in each action card deck. There'll be one of these new cards in the Original game box, and one in the NSFW box. Order the Combo Pack and get them both!

Super Close to Reaching 3 Social Goals!

Hello Shady Pets Backers,
It's day 5 of our campaign and we're super close to hitting all 3 of our social goals and we're just a few days away from hitting our 1st stretch funding goal. We're so excited that Shady Pets has been this successful and we're looking forward to announcing lots of fun extra stuff to our backers as a huge "thank you" for helping us reach these goals!
First Stretch Goal in Reach!
We're at $19,300 right now so this is coming up fast! We will hopefully hit this by Tuesday or Wednesday.
Once we hit this stretch goal, each box will be automatically upgraded to have 53 score sheets (from 27). This means the Original and the NSFW will each have 53 score sheets. If you get the combo, you'll get 106 score sheets (53 in each box). We're thinking about adding even more score sheets for a later stretch goal. You can never have too many score sheets, right!?!
Social Goals & Contest Update:
We're currently at 90 contest entries of our goal of 100! Just 10 more photo contest entries and we'll add a new celebrity pet to the game!
Since we launched last Tuesday, the contest has been on fire! We now have 1,240 total votes in the contest now, so only 260 more votes to hit this social goal and a new celebrity pet added to game!
Last week was one of best weeks ever for our Facebook page. We had 185 new "likes" to our page to bring us to 739 total likes. Just 260 more likes are we're there!
Shady Goes International!
Shady Pets goes international! Here's our backers by country. It's super cool to see that about 30% of all of our backers live outside the United States! Thank you very much to all of our friends around the world!
Please let us know if you have any questions and requests or even ideas for how we can make the game or this Kickstarter campaign better!
Again thank you for making this dream a reality!
