Today it is exactly one year since we launched Magination's Kickstarter-campaign! It has been a crazy, amazing and rough ride! As you’re probably aware of, we have been unlucky and hit multiple bumps along the road that have caused annoying delays. We’ve learned a lot from this, but are sorry and ashamed that this has resulted in your rewards not showing up when they were supposed to. Magination is still a young company with more to learn and experiences to encounter, and we’re excited to see what the future will bring!
Magination's future is something that we always wanted you all to be a part of, by allowing anyone to create their own content with Magination and join the development. We did this the first time during this campaign, where you voted for the fourth Magination-color that many of you now have (or soon will have) in your kit! In the future, these decisions will be done on the community.
The main reason to why we have delayed the community launch is because there are backers waiting for their reward to arrive, but we want to have a soft opening where you can register your user and start using the community - today - on our one year anniversary. So let's get to it!
There are two main functionalities, the community and the game discoverer/creator. The community works as a pretty normal online forum, where you can create threads, comment and discuss with other Magination-users/enthusiasts. You find it here:
https://community.maginationgame.com/
The game functionality is where you can find new games that other users have created and shared, and where you can create your own! When you are signed in you’ll unlock functionality to allow you to start creating, and you can even make own game-images directly in the browser! We will get back to you with a guide on how to do it, but you can already now start testing it out. You find it here:
https://game.maginationgame.com/
We look forward to see you there!
We’re sad that you haven’t received your kit yet, but rest assured that it is on its way! Nift, the company handling the shipments, are available for questions and inquiries about your shipment (only for Kickstarter-backers). They can be contacted here: [email protected] (it’s not ‘.com’)
Here are the promised video tutorials for the five games in the manual. Although the manual should be sufficient, it’s always great to SEE how something is done!
Shipping notifications and pre-orders

Hi everyone!
This is a two-part update for Kickstarter backers and BackerKit pre-orders.
For those who haven’t read our comment section here on Kickstarter lately: The communication between our shipping partners didn’t go as smoothly as we hoped it would, and it created a delay in the shipping from Norway to France (this got solved a little while back).
All the parcels are well on their way to backers all over the world, and shipping notifications have been sent to your email. If you haven’t received a notification, check your spam-folder and make sure that the email you use on Kickstarter is the same as the one you use regularly. If you still can’t find the email - send us a message and we’ll sort it out! Regardless of you receiving a notification or not, the parcel is still on its way.
We’re really excited to see that Magination kits finally arrives in your mailboxes, and we would really appreciate that you drop us a comment when you get it! :)
Yesterday we processed payments and sent out a “48-hour ready to ship” notification. This means that you have around 24 hours remaining to make changes to your address or give us a heads up if something else has changed since you placed your pre-order. We’ll ship the kits directly from Norway over the next weeks to make sure that you receive your pre-order before Christmas! If you have any questions, please let us know!
PS: The community will be launched soon! It will come a new update about this in the following days.
We hope to see something like this from you soon!

It's done!

Hey backers!
October 6th marks a very special day for us, as this was the day we shipped out the final kits for Norwegian Kickstarter-backers, and we can finally say: WE DID IT!
We wouldn’t have had this opportunity without you guys, so here is a big THANK YOU to all of you, from the bottom of our hearts:
All the magnetic pieces backed in this campaign is now on their way to different mailboxes in around 39 different countries! Norwegian backers should prepare for it to arrive relatively soon, and international backers should get something by the end of the month!
Here are some of the Norwegian rewards ready to be sent out from the local post office in Gjøvik:
This marks the final step of the Kickstarter-production! Our last task is now to make sure that the rewards reaches your mailboxes, and that you’re happy with your new magnetic kits. We’re looking forward to stay in touch with you through the Magination community when it is launched in some days. We’re extremely excited to see everything creative and fun you’ll come up with when you get Magination in your hands (we’re crossing our fingers for some mesmerizing slow motion videos and cool games that show the magnetic forces at its best)!
The assembly manufacturer is already well on their way to create all the kits for the pre-orders that have joined us this year. A happy group of people are working as fast they can to put together the last remaining Double-pieces, and it should be completed in no more than a couple of weeks, so we can start shipping by the end of this month!
Have a magnetic and attractive week!

WE ARE SHIPPING!

The bulk shipment has left the manufacturer!! Woho!
This is what all international Kickstarter-rewards looked like right before they left us today:
A couple of weeks ago we thought that we would be able to send both the international pre-orders together with this shipment, but we were proven wrong when we out of the blue got featured on some big pages and pre-orders went skyrocketing! We would hit another delay if we were to deliver all pre-orders on the same time, and you Kickstarter-backers have been patient enough already! So our previous weeks have been quite hectic, filling up our inbox with wonderful mails from all over the world! We’re therefore sorry to inform pre-orders (not Kickstarter-backers) to prepare for a bit of waiting, but we’re so grateful to have you with us on this journey as well!
Hang in there! Although we haven’t shipped to you just yet, it’s exactly what we’re preparing now. As you are in Norway already, shipping is quite simple and we have already started to pack your rewards. We’ve also rented a room close to our manufacturer to assist them in these last final steps and make sure that everything is flowing out smoothly.
This is the big question, and we’ll share with you what we know: The bulk shipment has left the manufacturer, but not the country just yet. According to our shipping partner it will leave Norway early next week, and takes about a week to get to Ideaspatcher in France. There they will separate the bulk shipment into individual rewards over the course of a couple of days. After that the rewards will be shipped out to the backers who live far away first, and the closest backers last. According to Ideaspatcher, shipping takes up to about ten working days for backers outside Europe and up to five days within Europe. So from the middle to the end of October we should see Magination-kits popping up around the world. Norwegian backers might see them earlier, hence why we wanted to ship this big international bulk as early as we could.
We want to thank you guys, for being the best backers we could’ve had. You’ve been positive, patient and supportive when unfortunate delays have occurred. We’re so happy that we finally have shipped Magination in your direction and that we can start to experiment, explore and discover together!
Prepare yourself for attractiveness!

IMPORTANT: Update your shipping information
over 8 years ago

This is a short update to remind you to update your shipping address! If you have moved this year, it’s extremely important that we have the correct shipping information on BackerKit. It’s very little we can do once a reward is shipped to an address, and we sure don’t want that to happen! To change your address, or just check if you got the correct one, follow these steps:
2. Type in your email address and click “Get My Survey”.
3. This will send a survey link to your email, click on it and make your changes.
4. Confirm the changes and you are done!
If you know that you are going to move soon, but don't know the address yet, send us a message and we'll sort it out!
Some days before the shipping we’ll send out a final email notification, just to make sure that we have reached everyone and those that have missed the latest updates.
