Latest Updates from Our Project:
Campaign Finale: 30K Unlocked!
over 1 year ago

Wow! 30K!
In the last few hours, as the campaign was coming to a close, we blasted through the finish line over 30K! Wooooh! Thank you so much to all of you. We are floored by the response we've gotten from this project. It is crazy to think that a little over a year ago, this project was an idea in our heads. A wild dream. Now, nearly 200 backers have decided to see this happen, and have come together to make it a reality.
This means we unlocked the 30K stretch goal!
That's right! Each quest will now come with an included sticker and pin, as well as a custom "Rune-Roller" class that is compatible with all of our supported systems!
What is Next?
With the campaign coming to a close, the card you have on file will be charged over the next 3 days. If it doesn't go through, you'll be sent follow-up emails about getting the charge resolved.
All backers will have access to the Pledge Manager Survey via BackerKit that will be released at a different time.
What is BackerKit, and When Will I Get My Survey?
BackerKit is a Backer Management system that many Kickstarter projects use to help finalize orders after the campaign has concluded. It allows us to capture all of the data, and to give backers one final chance to adjust their pledge before we begin fulfillment.
We will be finalizing the BackerKit surveys and sending them out at a later date, that we will update you all on. The primary reason we're waiting to release the BackerKit is to allow us to have some more negotiations behind the scenes with our vendors and partners so that we can ensure the lowest-possible shipping price for our backers, and to make sure that you don't need to re-enter shipping information if you relocate before your Quests are ready to ship.
We will also be opening up Late Pledges, so if you or someone you know didn't manage to get into the campaign before it ended, not to worry! Anyone still interested in the Quest Chest project will be able to hop in late and get their very own year of quests.
Puzzle Coins Just Got Better!
If you end up backing for $100 or more(including your current pledge, and any addons or changes made in BackerKit), you will receive all of the challenge coins that you’ve achieved, instead of a single coin of your choice.
We have also decided to sell the Brass Challenge Coin on BackerKit. So if you want extras, or if you missed a chance to complete the puzzles, you can get that one. But the Copper, Silver, and Gold coins will be exclusive to people who completed the puzzles. And the Ossein(red) coin is for early backers, and puzzlers alike.
Example 1: if you backed for $50, and completed 3 of the puzzles, you will receive one challenge coin of your choice(from the first 3 options: Brass, Bronze, or Red plating).
Example 2: if you backed at $50 during the campaign, and raise your pledge to $100 during BackerKit, you will receive ALL 4 of the first 4 challenge coins that you unlocked.
So if you haven’t completed any puzzles yet, make sure to do them today!The #answers channel will be closing at midnightCSTJuly 6th, in ~9 hours!!
Here are the challenge coins that are available, for reference:
Again
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for beginning this journey with us, and we look forward to sharing our progress with you as we work to bring you these Quests, as well as hearing your stories and discoveries as you play them!
With so much love and gratitude,
Austin and Michael
Puzzle Number 5: A Mysterious Letter

Puzzle Number 5: A Mysterious Letter
Thankfully we managed to piece together the runes to open the stone door in front of us, and as we spoke the code the rock glowed a bright blue and slid out of the way. Noodle is fairly sure that this is where he dropped the last of the coins, so hand in hand we step into the dark corridor beyond the stone door.
The rock beneath our feet slopes subtly downward, and there isn't much light to show the way. Thankfully Noodle did remember a small torch! As he lights it and our eyes adjust, we begin to see the remains of frescoes painted into the walls. We walk for a time, looking left and right as the images on the stone around us slowly become more simplistic, transitioning to carvings, and then mere scratches.
The temperature drops as we continue downwards, and we shiver as Noodle leads us to the remains of a broken wooden door. Prodding it open and taking a tentative step inside, we observe a small stone room, broken pieces of pottery littering the ground as though dashed against the floor. A dark and slightly sticky looking substance coats one of the walls, handprints and scratches in random patterns.
Below the stained stone lies... a letter? Perhaps this is is a clue? Or perhaps the beginning of something more....
Remember, in order to solve the puzzle you'll need to head to the Quest Chest Discord and go into the answers channel, using the /answers command to input your solution!
Puzzle #4 - A Stone Door, and Noodling with Noodle

A Stone Door with Glowing Runes
Puzzle #4 - The Stone Door
3 of 5 coin sets have been found, thank goodness! We've been trying to find the fourth, but we've run into a bit of a snag. With your help, Noodle remembered where in the city he dropped the third bag of coins, but solving that mystery has simply led to another.
Apparently when Noodle took shelter in the building, he discovered a creaky, old wooden staircase that went down, down, down into the depths. At the bottom of the stairs he hid from the city guard in a cold and damp stone room. After a few minutes, Noodle realized that there was a soft, blue glow coming from one of the walls! He brushed some dust away, and uncovered a series of runes surrounding the outline of a stone door.
Now apparently Noodle's memory gets a little hazy around this point, but he's pretty sure he managed to get the door open with a phrase or something and hid inside whatever is behind the door. Perhaps that's where the fourth coins are?
We spoke with Noodle about keeping better notes, and he told us he actually does already keep a blog! If you're interested in the goings on in Noodles life, you can check it out here -
Perhaps you could use something in there to help jog Noodle's memory?
As a reminder! To solve the puzzle, you'll be heading to the Discord server, into the answers channel, and using the /answers command when you think you have the solution phrase!

Puzzle #3 - A Bag of Coins in the City of Kings

Puzzle #3 - Coins in the City of Kings
Apologies for the late puzzle update! Most of our team bas been traveling to Origins Game Fair today, and we've all just emerged from our various modes of transport back into fresh air. If you are in Columbus come say hi at booth 851 :D
Without further ado, let the puzzling commence!
Noodle has been looking everywhere for the rest of the lost coins; You’ve done a great job helping him find two of them, but there are still three missing!
You’ve reminded Noodle that the coins were lost in the a specific realm, the name of which you decoded in the first puzzle, and you’ve survived the Witches’ tearoom none the worse for wear.
Retracing his steps, Noodle realizes that on his way back to us, he was chased out of the City of Ioatha, first by the crime family of the Syndicate, and then by the Eleran city guard! He took shelter somewhere in the city and must have dropped some of the coins there, but he can’t quite remember where in the city he was.
Perhaps Noodle should start taking better notes, or maybe a blog! Can you help him remember where in the city he might have left the coins? Far beyond the realm of kings, No knowledge thrives, no wisdom sings, Ascend the path where silence clings, You’ll find the heart of forgotten things. Through bustling markets, vibrant and loud, The anvil's song, where blade’s endowed, Vineyard's charm, wine in proud shroud, Yet none reveal what remains unbowed. Not where the noble banners sway, Nor where pious humbly pray, The inn's allure, where mirth holds sway, Our secret eludes a hopeful stay. Dynasty's wealth, gleaming and refined, Minted with care, treasure defined, Our secret lies elsewhere, confined, For wealth cannot unlock what's enshrined. In shadows cast by moon's gentle light, Where whispers weave in the depths of night, The clandestine grasp, veiled from sight, Yet the answer eludes their desperate plight. Within the realm once legends dwelled, Where shadows whisper, ancient spells, Seek ye the sentinels, once fierce and fell, Now watchful slumber conceals their shell
Can you figure out where Noodle dropped the third set of coins? Remember to head to the Discord and post your solution in the answers channel using the command /answer
Good luck!
