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

Bolted! Shipping is UNDERWAY

April 4, 2026 by David Malki !

Bolted! games have been shipping to backers over the last couple of weeks! The non-US orders are (mostly) done and some folks have been reporting receiving them already!

@davidmalki.com My game arrived today!! It looks gorgeous 🙂 Hope you are well 🙂

My US inventory of games is now in-country, but still being staged at the fulfillment centers. It’s being distributed to regional warehouses, so the actual shipping to backers happens more efficiently. I hope the bulk of US shipping will start next week.

These are what the cartons (and games) look like!

I am also waiting on the bonus cards to be finished printing! I ended up needing many more of those than I had anticipated, so I decided to have the game factory print those too, for perfect matching with the base game cards.

Most people will be receiving two separate mailings: the game itself, and “anything else” (bonus cards and/or add-ons) which will be sent by me personally.

As of today, 86% of backers have completed their surveys so far! That’s pretty good, but it’s not everyone. I know YOU PERSONALLY have already completed YOURS though, so no worries!!

We have now moved OFF of Kickstarter and ONTO BackerKit for any new orders. You can bundle a game with basically anything else I sell on that there website, it’s pretty nuts!
