What it takes?
Do you have it in you?
Why do we fail, why do we win?
Fails
• Lazes Razor failed as they can’t produce a prototype
• Fidget Cube: A Vinyl Desk Toy took to long to deliver
Wins
• Kingdom Death: Monster 1.5 self running fantasy game
• Exploding Kittens card game
• The Everyday Backpack.
Laser Razor
Their goal was to create a razor that used lasers
for an irritation-free shave
They only had one reward, and even that they could
not deliver on. They put all their eggs in the perfect
razor, but they never created a successful prototype for
it
Fidget Cube
This little toy you play with to relieve stress
raised nearly $6.5 million.
But it couldn't deliver the toy to many of its backers.
They did not create their rewards to scale. Worse, a
competitor called Stress Cube filled the void.
Kingdom of Death
Kingdom Death Monster is an massive cooperative board game about
survival in a nightmare-horror world. They will use the fruits of their
battles to build a fragile civilization in a place where humans are at the
bottom of a monstrous ecology.
They marketed all of their game and were creative enough
to have twelve expansion packs to offer as rewards. This
incentivized bigger donations to get all the expansions
Exploding Kittens
This card game raised nearly $9 million. In the game,
you draw cards until the loser picks a card showing an
exploding kitten.
Their NSFW or adult edition deck for $35 was what
generated the most revenue. It had what kids off all ages
enjoy, and something that was trendy at the time, an adult
only game.
