🎉 SECOND SUCCESS REWARD UNLOCKED: Cryptid One Card Maze!

We hit 200% funding on Cryptid Creek: Build a Legend! To celebrate this incredible milestone, every backer automatically receives a custom One Card Maze featuring the eerie world of Cryptid Creek.

This special collaboration combines the brilliant maze design expertise of One Card Maze (one of the original Micro May creators) with Leslie Kolke atmospheric Cryptid Creek illustrations. The maze is printed on the same size card as our specimen cards - a perfect puzzle companion to your cryptid collection!

🧩 What makes this extra special? One Card Maze just launched Season 4 of their acclaimed series on Kickstarter! If you love clever, portable puzzles that pack serious challenge into a single card, check them out.

🎁About Success Rewards: Instead of traditional stretch goals that require more funding, we celebrate what we've accomplished together! When we hit milestones, ALL backers receive rewards automatically. It's our "we're in this together" approach to crowdfunding.

The maze will be included with both physical and print-and-play copies at no extra cost.

Already funded and growing fast! Check out the campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/.../cryptid-creek-build-a...

🎉 FIRST SUCCESS REWARD UNLOCKED: Kappa Bonus Cards!

Thanks to our amazing backers, Cryptid Creek: Build a Legend funded in just 4 hours! To celebrate, everyone who backs the campaign automatically receives TWO bonus specimen cards featuring the Kappa, a Japanese water cryptid with a fascinating legend.

🎁What are Success Rewards?
Instead of traditional stretch goals that require more funding to unlock rewards, we celebrate milestones with Success Rewards that ALL backers receive automatically when we achieve exciting things. It's our way of saying "we're in this together". Let's celebrate what we've accomplished!

The Kappa cards are a special collaboration with Leslie Kolke, who's illustrating Cryptid Creek AND running her own Kickstarter for Shinobi Spy & Supply. This child-sized, green-skinned creature with a bowl on its head has been part of Japanese folklore for centuries - according to legend, the water in their bowl gives them immense strength, but if it spills, they become paralyzed!

These bonus cards will be included with both physical and print-and-play copies of the game at no extra cost.

Already at 200% funding with more Success Rewards unlocked! Check out the campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mayhemdelight/cryptid-creek-build-a-legend?ref=cnp3p1

Read how we decided on our name!

Names matter. They’re the first impression, the thing people say when they recommend you to a friend, the feeling that either sticks or slides right off. And for a while, my company had a name that did a lot of sliding.
