over 6 years ago – Sat, Oct 21, 2017 at 09:00:28 PM

Gooood morning,

The Spinagogues are here and will be sent out from our fulfillment center to you soon. Please fill out your BackerKit survey and make any changes to your shipping address before October 24th to ensure your order gets shipped properly. 

Also, you might see the name "Brewskee-Ball" listed as the organization after you fill out the survey and handle shipping. Brewskee-Ball is us, so don't worry. We love rolling Skee-Balls AND spinning dreidels : ) Oh, and we're based in Texas. Just a heads up. The name and the state on the receipt are totally kosher. 

Thanks so much and happy almost Halloween.

Have a spincredible day!

Good Morning Backers and Friends,

Happy October. Welcome Great Pumpkin!

The BackerKit surveys went out last Friday and we've seen that many of you have filled them out so far and finalized shipping. That's awesome, thank you. If you have not yet filled yours out and checked that your mailing address is current and correct, please do so.

The Spinagogues will arrive in Seattle on October 11th and should make their way to our fulfillment center by October 24th. From there it will only take a few days to arrive to you! Please fill out your survey before the 24th to ensure your order goes out right away.

Also, you might see the name "Brewskee-Ball" listed as the organization after you fill out the survey and handle shipping. Brewskee-Ball is us, so don't worry. We love rolling Skee-Balls AND spinning dreidels : ) 

The Spinagogues are making their way closer to you as I type. Fill out those surveys if you haven't already and I will send another update as soon as we get word that the games have arrived in Seattle.

Thanks everybody and enjoy the day.

Ship and Spin!
over 6 years ago – Wed, Sep 13, 2017 at 05:38:32 PM

Friends and Backers,

Today is a great day.

The Spinagogues have been manufactured and the freight company is picking them up. Today, they'll begin their journey across the sea, where we can handle the final fulfillment to you.

Holy ship, the games are on their way!

They'll arrive to your home by November 12, a month before the first night of Hanukkah. Plenty of time to wrap one up for that special person or rip open the box and start practicing your spin for Dreidel Season!

Our BackerKit Survey will go out to you by the end of next week. We'll ask you to supply the address where you would like the Spinagogue delivered.

And wow, just like that, this dizzy little adventure has reached the home stretch – from a dream to a dreidel stadium at your doorstep.

Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. And thank you for your patience as we have navigated the unpredictable roller coaster that is a Kickstarter campaign and the manufacturing of a new product.

We had a blasty and learned so much. Can't wait to keep the dreidel spinning...

It feels so good knowing that the Spinagogue will soon be a part of your toy bin or board game closet.

Keep a look out for that survey.

Love & gimels,

Sample ---> Production!
over 6 years ago – Fri, Aug 18, 2017 at 09:26:04 PM

Hei Spinners & Friends! 

I hope this update finds you enjoying the summer wherever you may be. 

I was going to send out a note last week, but I wanted to wait until the Spinagogue SAMPLE arrived. It came in yesterday! 

Due to the fact that we had to make some unexpected artwork changes, we wanted to take extra precaution. We decided to have our manufacturer make a game sample so we could ensure that it was both beautiful and spincredible. 

I'm very glad we decided to do this, as it gave us the ability to tweak some of the new art and make it more precise. However, in getting the sample, we learned that our dreidel manufacturer was unable to produce enough purple dreidels for our needs. So, we decided to go with a white dreidel. That said, it is sad to say goodbye to Shinaynay. She spun, she won!  

As we say farewell to Shinaynay and her purple glow, we welcome the white dreidel into the MLD family. A few names have been tossed out for the new guy. The front runner as of now is... The Great White Chuppah. I'll let you know when we set the date for his official dreidel naming ceremony.

I'm traveling right now and I was not in Austin when the Spinagogue sample came in. So, I had Super Cooper, the MLD "spintern", record the unboxing for everyone to see. His beard may be long, but he's still a curious boychick. Please forgive him for forgetting some of the MLD spinology live on camera. However, we can certainly applaud him for fixing it in post. Thank you Coop!

After receiving the sample and making those final fixes, I'm so happy to report that we gave our manufacturer the greenlight for full production and assembly! 

The Spinagogues are scheduled to ship in time to receive before Hanukkah this year. So, you'll have time to practice for any big dreidel tournaments you plan on hosting or wrap them in festive paper to gift to that special person. 

Thanks so much for your patience as we navigate the squiggly sea of game production. And thank you for your love and support!

I'll update you with a more exact date when production is complete.

Love and gimels,

Backers and Friends,

Hei there!

Summer is spinning along and so is Spinagogue production. We have some excellent updates to report. 

1. The official Spinometers are complete and are being shipped to our packaging company. Check out the fun Spinometer product photos below!

2. The 6 colored official Dreidels will be completed by July 18th and then they will ship to our packaging company. 

3. The bulk paper order is scheduled to arrive at the printing company this Monday.

4. It will take about 2 weeks to produce all the printed paper materials.

5. It will then take about 2 weeks to package all the separate Spinagogue parts and pieces.

6. The Spinagogues will most likely begin their journey to our warehouse in New York sometime mid-August. Our manufacturer will be confirming the product ship date with us very soon. When we hear from the freight company we'll give you an exact date. 

7. As soon as the Spinagogues are in the U.S. we'll be sending out the reward surveys. T-shirts, albums and postcards will ship as soon as surveys are completed. 

Enjoy all the fun in the sun! We'll be sending out another update once all production has been completed and we hear from our manufacturer that the Spinagogues have shipped. 

Love & Gimels,
