Click on GIZMOCROWD to read a brilliant article about what inspired us to create Kryptothera - The Cryptid Pursuit and the world behind it.

Unlocked: The stories that time forgot
With this stretch goal, every player board will reveal a richly woven origin story on the reverse, transforming each of our 7 hunters into a living legend and adding a new layer of discovery to your Kryptothera adventure.

Unlocked: The hidden truths of Kryptothera
This stretch goal unveils the game’s secret lore, beautifully laid out on the reverse of the board, transforming it into a gateway to the world’s forgotten past and untold mysteries.

Unlocked: The hunters' true potential
This stretch goal unlocks unique abilities for each character, tailored to their background, temperament, and hidden talents. Each skill adds a new layer of strategy and asymmetry to your crew. Play your game, your way.

Unlocked: The cryptic path
This stretch goal adds a secret storyline hidden within the game. Clues scattered across cards, artwork, and flavour text reveal fragments of a mysterious society known as the Legendary Order. Will you decode the puzzle?

Unlocked: The mini-legacy campaign arc
This campaign unfolds across multiple sessions, no stickers, no destruction. Your games become chapters in an evolving narrative. Each time you play, you check for progression triggers, and when the time is right, parts of the expansions seamlessly enter the story. The deeper you go, the more the world reveals itself.

Unlocked: The ultimate endgame story
Etched inside the game box lies a hidden puzzle. If discovered, it unlocks The Legendary Order Plan: a secret betrayal path that allows one player to abandon the race for points and steal victory through alternative means.

Unlocked: The shimmer of prestige
With this stretch goal, every copy of Kryptothera will feature stunning gold foil detailing, capturing the glint of forgotten treasures and transforming your game into a true collector’s artefact from the exclusive first print run.

We Hit Our Production Deadline! And the Cryptids Are Getting Restless…

2025-12-10 13:39:54


Hunters,


You may have noticed things have been a little quiet on our end lately.

No mysterious signals…

No encrypted transmissions…

No cryptid footprints leading suspiciously away from our inbox.


That silence had one purpose:


We were racing to hit our production deadline, and we made it.


Every single file for Kryptothera - The Cryptid Pursuit is now complete.

All cards, all expansions, all artwork, all components, the full rulebook, the Bestiary; everything.


They’ve all been delivered safely to our manufacturing partner, who is now preparing the proof copies. Soon we’ll be holding the first-ever printed versions in our hands. (We’ll absolutely show you as soon as they arrive, expect excited yelling.)


And yes, this keeps us right on track for fulfilment in May 2026.

The Initiative marches on.


A Peek at the Final Components


While we wait for the proofs, here’s a small preview of what’s now headed into production:


The Final Base Game Box and the Stunning Illustrations of the Inside Box Cover



A few of our favourite Cards, the Polished Wooden Standees, our Fancy Player Boards and Immersive Board Map



Your first look inside the 96-page Bestiary. It is gorgeous. It is packed with secrets. It is heavier than we expected.



The Pledge Manager Opens 10 January


Mark your calendars (or carve it into a stone tablet; we’re not judging).

Starting 10 January you’ll be able to:


Confirm your shipping details

Add upgrades or expansions

Secure the Bestiary


And if you missed the Kickstarter… hello, this is your second chance


The Late Pledge is Open Now - Click Here to Join the Hunt and secure a Copy of Kryptothera - The Cryptid Pursuit.


Full instructions for the PM will be in the an update nearer to then; no puzzles to solve, we promise.


What’s Coming Next…


We have a big reveal lined up for the next update:


A holiday surprise


Let’s just say our collaboration with Mad Robot Comics and Andy Lanning has produced something festive, colourful, and full of cryptid misbehaviour.


More very soon.


Thanks for being part of this adventure.


We’re thrilled to be entering the next stage, the one where all the pieces begin turning into a real, physical world.


See you on the hunt,

Vangelis, David, Stefanos and Sara
