Survey Advocate: See what they thought about the service, the rep they talked to, etc.
Critic: What if they don’t respond to the survey right away?

[[The advocate appears somewhat irritated.]]
Survey Advocate: Send them ANOTHER survey to see what they didn’t like about the FIRST survey! If it wasn’t a well-designed survey, we should know!
Critic: And if they don’t respond to THAT?
Survey Advocate: If they don’t respond to THAT – or to the survey that FOLLOWS that – or to the one after THAT – WELL –

Survey Advocate: I want surveys to pop up in their browser. I want to be TEXTING them surveys. I want to MAIL them surveys that look like handwritten birthday cards, with no return address. I want surveys to FOLLOW them like student loans, non-dischargeable in bankruptcy.
Survey Advocate: INESCAPABLE.

Survey Advocate: I want to flyer their CAR with surveys. want to get their DOCTOR to PRESCRIBE them our surveys. I want our surveys to be CARVED INTO THEIR TOMBSTONE. Below their name, but above the dates.
Survey Advocate: Because, remember! Our number one priority HAS to be CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

New ways to get Bolted!

July 24, 2026 by David Malki !

In addition to buying things directly from me, the normal way, my game Bolted! is also now available on Amazon dot com.

On that famous website, you can also get the Creature-Crafting Magnets Set, which is made of the same artwork from the game, but is just a weird little trinket (not a playable game).

My kiddo made the elaborate version below to show off just how many magnets you get in the set (it’s 150 pieces in all — this isn’t even all of them).

Also now on Amazon is my set of Multi-Purpose Greeting Cards — a full dozen cards with envelopes in a fancy, unbranded, foil-stamped box!

Event alert!

I’ll also be showing off Bolted! at Greenwood Games, an event in Seattle this Saturday:

Greenwood Games is a free, all-ages community game event that invites players to spend the afternoon walking Greenwood Avenue from 65th to 80th, collecting clues, cracking puzzles, and discovering games made right here in Washington.

Think of it as Pride Hop, ArtWalk, and the Gumshoe all rolled into one,  except the whole thing is built around games and puzzles.​

Local game designers will be set up at different places along Greenwood Avenue in Phinney Ridge (near Ballard). My specific spot will be the “Holy Mountain Phinney Ridge Taproom”. All the information about all the different games & venues is on the website!

(If you’re in Seattle generally but not free tomorrow, Bolted! is also stocked at Blue Highway Games in Queen Anne.)

Next week, I’ll be at Gen Con! I personally will be hanging with my buddy Sam Logan at BFE Webcomics, booth #1217… but I have it on good authority that copies of Bolted! will be available at the CRWN Studios booth, #2549.

Visit one booth! Then the other! The order…is up to you.
