Hello and Happy (early) Harvest Moon,
A quick update and some notes. Good news first: Games are off the presses!
Production is Finished! They’re Real! They Exist! The handoff of our lovely exists in RL little witch game from production to the fulfillment center has been coordinated. (It should be received any day now, or may already be there!)
Address Lock In We’ll be locking in addresses in about a week. This gives folks time to make any necessary changes to their delivery address. (Cards will be charged for shipping when the addresses are locked in.
Due to tariffs and to avoid complications, we will be shipping directly from our manufacturer. So backers will receive their copies at the same time as we receive ours.
Handmade / Custom Items Folks who ordered anything handmade (shirts or special boxes) will come in a separate shipment a bit later. (We require the card deck from the printers to finalize custom orders. Though you better believe we contemplated and talked ourselves out of making those custom too.)
Thank you for your continued support.
Brandy & Allison,
Hocus Pocus Hyperfocus Team
Su-su-summertime, summertime sadness. (I just wanted you to know...)

Hi all,
We're nearing the end of the lead time our manufacturer quoted for production (the plan was to move into fulfillment this week!), and I've (Allison) been in touch with them to get the latest information so I could pass it on to you.
Unfortunately, I simply haven't been able to get any concrete information on the status of our order. The project manager we're working with let me know that there have been delays, to which I, of course, asked, 'Oh, wow, for how long? When will we switch from production to fulfillment?' To which the reply has been, so far, 'It's very busy here right now, we'll get it done as soon as possible!' Appreciated, but not the most helpful.
I had hoped to at least be able to give you a date in this update. Unfortunately, I can't seem to wrangle that information out of our manufacturer. But I wanted to be transparent about what was happening and what we're doing, rather than let more time go by without an update.
We'll continue to follow up with the manufacturer to keep the [meta]phorical little ADHD witch focused on our order, and get you more information as soon as we have it.
Apologies for the delay, and thanks as always for your patience and support.
Allison (& Brandy),
Hocus Pocus Hyperfocus Team
Fulfillment Fast Approaches!

Hello wonderful backers, We're writing with a quick logistical update to let you know that our progress towards fulfillment is well on its way. The games are currently in production with our manufacturer, and we're on track to begin sending them out in August.
If you're a retail backer you should have heard from us, and we'll be following back up again soon on your replies. For everyone else, we're opening up surveys today, and intend to close them as manufacturing ends so we can go right into fulfillment.
Our response time to emails or messages might be a bit slower than normal in July(we are a two-person team and are taking some trips to enjoy the summer), but rest assured that behind the scenes, we are getting excitingly close to everyone holding a game in their hands!
And in case you were curious... we did get a proof of the correct foil colour! What do you think?!
Summer Solstice Update

Hello everyone!
We hope you had a wonderful summer solstice (I personally spent mine swimming in a lake in the middle of the woods during a rainstorm on a 55-degree day, so I think it was perfect).
The time has come for one of our most exciting updates. We have received the physical prototypes for our game. Despite a plethora of summer holidays/trips, and a handful of personal disasters (because what ADHD life is complete without a couple of those?), we have photos of them for you.
Hedgehog not included, for display purposes only.
As you may notice, our manufacturer misprinted the foil tuck boxes with a deep green instead of cyan, so we’re having that fixed in addition to a few other small changes. Once we receive photo confirmation that the next round of prototypes is up to par, we’ll be able to ok the start the manufacturing! The foil mishap has added a bit of a longer lead to the approvals than anticipated (but we definitely don’t want to ok things without having a prototype we are happy with), so our fulfillment date will most likely be in August.
Since we’re so close to production, we’ve started coordinating with a fulfillment center, which is a first for us, and we’re very excited to be able to expedite the shipping of your games to you : )
With that said, we’ll be doing two main things shortly:
Opening up our PledgeManager
Reaching out to retail backers
If you’ve ordered a handcrafted game, we’ve continued to source the coolest and most unique items we can (I took a trip to an abandoned quartz mine in the New England wilderness to hand mine some tokens, and I know Brandy has been brushing up on her book binding)
As always, thank you for helping us make our dream of this game a reality. It's wildly exciting to be this close to done. Allison
A short update! (with more to come soon...)

Hello everyone, Allison here with a (short) update on behalf of the Hocus Pocus Hyperfocus team.
We were hoping the physical prototypes would arrive before the start of the month and that we would be able to send a glorious update with photos and an exact predicted shipping date for the final games, but alas that did not happen.
The good news is that we have already approved digital prototypes and physical prototypes are currently in the mail on the way to us (we are as excited as you are!). Once they battle their way through customs, we will share pictures with you.
We were also hoping (in true ADHD fashion) to still be able to turn production around and start shipping by the end of June, but this currently seems extremely unlikely. Again, once we receive our prototypes we can give you a more specific date, but barring any major changes our estimate is that fulfillment should be starting by late July/early August.
Thank you for your patience, and we are so excited to share more details and pictures soon!
