Latest Updates from Our Project:

🤘Hair Band Is Shipping!
16 days ago – Mon, Jul 27, 2026 at 09:51:12 AM

Hey Rockers!

This is the update we've been waiting months to write...

Hair Band has officially arrived at our fulfillment partner's warehouse! 🎉

The games have made the journey from Boda Games and are now in the hands of our fulfillment team. That means there's just one thing left to do... start shipping them to all of you!

The fulfillment team expects to begin shipping orders at the end of this week.

Keep an Eye on Your Email

As soon as your order ships, you'll receive an email from our fulfillment partner with your tracking number and a link to follow your package's journey.

Once shipments begin, delivery times will vary depending on where you live, but most backers should receive their games within approximately 30 - 50 days.

We Kept Our Promise

One of our biggest goals before we even launched Hair Band was to make fulfillment as fast and painless as possible. We worked hard behind the scenes to line up manufacturing, freight, and fulfillment partners who could help us get games into your hands quickly after the campaign.

We're incredibly happy to say that everything came together just as we'd hoped, and we're proud to be following through on that promise.

We know waiting for a Kickstarter can be tough, so we sincerely hope you appreciate the effort that went into making this happen.

Pre-Orders Remain Open

Many have asked if it's still possible to order the game, even if you didn't back during the campaign. The answer is YES! Here's the link - feel free to recommend it to literally every single person you know:

Thank You!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in Hair Band. We can't wait to hear your stories, see photos of your game nights, and watch your bands fight for glory on the Sunset Strip.

🤘 Final Approval Given - Hair Band Is Headed to Assembly!
about 1 month ago – Thu, Jul 02, 2026 at 01:12:22 PM

Hey again, Rockers!

The good news just keeps coming. I received the mass production proof from Boda Games, and after carefully inspecting all of the components, I'm happy to report that everything looks fantastic! I've officially given Boda the green light to move forward with final assembly.

What does that mean? At this point, all of the game components have been manufactured. The remaining work is assembling each game, packing them into cartons, and shipping them to our fulfillment partner.

Most importantly, we're still right on schedule. We're continuing to target August/September fulfillment, and nothing we've seen has changed that timeline.

Don't you just want to PUNCH those boards?!

Everything fits like a glove in that sweet insert, with extra room for future content packs.
Confirmed: the volume knob goes to 11.
Welcome to the Sunset Strip.
Dice candy - I could seriously eat these.
Me and your mom both love the Afterparty Content Pack.

It's pretty rad to finally hold a production copy in my hands after so many years of development. The colors look great, the components came out beautifully, and I can't wait for all of you to experience Hair Band for yourselves.

As always, thank you for your continued support. The next update should be an exciting one as we move from production into shipping!

Mass Production Complete - Check Out the First Photos!
about 2 months ago – Fri, Jun 26, 2026 at 10:32:27 AM

Hey Rockers!

We've hit another big milestone!

Today we received photos and video of the mass production proof from Boda Games, and we're excited to finally share a sneak peek with all of you. 🤘

The mass production proof is made using the exact manufacturing process and materials that will be used for every copy of Hair Band. It's our final opportunity to inspect the finished product before giving Boda the green light to complete assembly.

The good news is... it's looking glamtastic!

Watch the full assembly video on our Instagram, here.

Boda has already shipped a physical production copy to us for a final hands-on inspection. Once we've looked everything over and given our approval, the hard part is already done - they'll simply assemble all the games and ship them to our fulfillment partner. This means we're still on track for fulfillment to begin in August.

It's been incredibly rewarding watching Hair Band go from an idea, to a prototype, to a Kickstarter campaign, and now to finished production copies. We can't wait to get these into your hands so you can build the greatest glam metal band on the Sunset Strip.

As always, thank you for your support, patience, and enthusiasm. I'll post another update as soon as the production copy arrives - and, assuming everything looks as good in person as it does in the photos, we'll be giving Boda the official devil horns 🤘 shortly after.

Rock Forward,

5 Wards Fulfillment Begins
3 months ago – Mon, May 18, 2026 at 02:10:53 PM

Hey Rockers - and in this case, Hooligans!

If you pledged for our 5 Wards game (either through the All Access pledge or as a separate add-on), good news: fulfillment begins this week!

You should receive a tracking number via email within the next few days. Just to clarify, this shipment includes ONLY your copy of 5 Wards - Hair Band is still in manufacturing and will ship separately in a few months.

So while you’re waiting to rock out on the Sunset Strip, it’s time to assemble your Victorian gang and fight to become the prime boss of the 5 Wards!

If you didn't order 5 Wards through this campaign, you can still purchase it directly from our website, and it'll ship immediately.

As for Hair Band, everything remains on schedule. We’re expecting to receive the mass production proof in about 3 weeks, and I’ll share photos and video as soon as it arrives.

Rock Forward,
- Dickie Chapin
