We are blown away with the support this project has achieved, especially over the past weekend! You all literally blew the roof off of Holmes' Murder Castle! As a result, the 6 character minis + Holmes character mini have been unlocked. Both the minis and character cardboard cutouts will be included in the base game. Lola, Hoyt, Jeremiah, Jonah, Adeline, and Abraham thank you!
As a result, we've updated the final 2 stretch goals so they can become more achievable in the final 43 hours of our campaign! The next stretch goal will be Spot UV Coating on Game Components which now will be unlocked at $60,463 in funding. Additionally, we've reduced the Box Upgrade Stretch Goal from $116,363 to $80,363. These changes have been made to the updated stretch goal roadmap on the campaign page.
We are also excited that the 2nd Story Expansion will include the ability to Play as Holmes and a Solo Mode! Also, 3 of the 4 accomplice reward levels have been unlocked. We have begun outreach to those that backed those rewards levels and are excited to announce that the first new room tile will be called "The Whitechapel Suite." This room is paying homage to the time Holmes spent in England, quite possibly as Jack the Ripper.
Lastly, rulebook translation services will be provided for the German language! We are 50% there for Spanish and need 5 more game backer requests, 7 more requests are needed for French and 9 more requests are needed for Polish. Rulebook translation requests will continue after the campaign ends from verified backer reward levels that include at least 1 copy of the game.
Solo Mode added to 2nd Story Expansion!!!

Earlier in the Kickstarter campaign, we had a few handfuls of potential backers that requested solo mode. We've playtested over the last month and are very excited to share that solo mode will be included in all copies of the 2nd Story Expansion!
Who wants rulebook translation? Please respond with the language you wish to be translated (Spanish, Polish, German, French, Italian).

We had an amazing 24 hours and have jumped up to 170% with 760 backers! We have until Wednesday, February 12th at 9am CT to hit the next stretch goal - the character minis! Please continue to share the Kickstarter Page, embed the project video on websites and blogs, and share the images with friends, family, and on social media. Also, please comment on the Kickstarter comments section on what you are most excited about! It can be about anything, specific components, certain game aspects, stretch goals, things we did in our campaign that you enjoyed, etc. We want to hear from you! We are beyond excited to bring the H. H. Holmes' Murder Castle board game into production!
Here's a recap of what's been unlocked so far:
- Ferris Wheel Upgrade
- Evidence Bag Upgrade
- Skeleton Key (1st Player Token) Upgrade
- 3 NEW Room Tiles (From 3 of the 4 available Accomplice rewards levels)
Additionally, we have been making revisions to the rulebook throughout the campaign to get a head start and the link to the current rulebook is available on our campaign page. We have added a page for the event cards which were not previously shown. Many of our playtesters LOVED the event cards because it incorporated thematic elements that existed in the original Murder Castle. We have decided to include all event cards in the rulebook for translation purposes, which brings us to our next update...
We have a few potential backers that are interested in backing the game and would help contribute to the stretch goals for all backers, but they want us to confirm if there will be translation services before backing. We think this is a very fair request! We will be posting an update following this one asking you to comment if you would like a language translated and to list one of the 5 languages we are offering. Please feel free to respond with the language you would like the rulebook to be translated. Any of the following languages with at least 10 responses requesting that language will be translated (Spanish, Polish, German, French, Italian)!
