Hello Everyone!
We are now at the halfway point in this campaign and 108% funded! Since you all came out so strong and we got funded early on, we decided to just get moving with the order process. We're working with our manufacturer now to work out the details since many things have changed, on their end, since our last order. The good news is that the art files are ready and just waiting to be submitted, which we'll do once we get the final confirmation for everything else.
Ideally, we'd like to have these puzzles in your hands well before the estimated shipping date of December 2023. We'll do everything we can to make that possible. :)
Thank you again for all of your outside efforts to help get this project funded even further. We hope you all enjoy a very Happy Easter weekend!
This will probably be our last update until the end of the campaign, unless, of course, something major happens. See you at the finish line!
All the Best,
Lara & Eric

Hello Everyone!
If you're new to Playing Grounded Puzzles, our warmest welcome! We're tickled to have you here. :)
I know that we're a little late in posting this update, but the important thing is, thanks to all you generous backers, we have exceeded our funding goal! Hooray! So even though there is still a good bit of time left on the clock, we're going to set the wheels in motion and start making the necessary preparations for puzzle production.
We'd like to have them in stock and ready to ship by late summer or early fall. We've been wanting to make these gorgeous puzzles a reality for so long now, and the sooner we get started the better. Honestly, up to last month, we really weren't sure if it was going to happen. But now, here we are, and we wouldn't be here without you!
There's still 22+ days to go. We hope you'll check back periodically and please continue to share with friends, family and strangers. Helping us spread the word has made a huge difference towards the success of this campaign.
That's all for now. Thanks again for everything. Until our next update, you really are the best!
With oceans of gratitude,
Lara & Eric

Hello Everyone!
Wow! What a fantastic first day we've had!!! And we have each and every one of you to thank!
We are now just over 50% funded, and still going strong. We're excited, Fuzichoco is excited, and we know you are, too. In past campaigns, we've tried to reach out to all of our backers, individually, to thank you. It might not seem important to some of you, but it is to us. Although it might take us some time to message you—it's just the two of us, after all—you will be hearing from us.
Also, just to show that we are real people, we did something we don't normally do and posted a photo of us in the project. I know we look like Smurfs...blame Eric for that one!
Finally, to any of you who will be in or near Tokyo this month or next, Fuzichoco will be holding a solo art exhibit at the Tokyo Yurakucho Marui 8F, March 24th - April 9th. So please, check it out. If you do go and get to take some photos, please tag us on Instagram @playinggroundedpuzzles. Thanks!
Until our next update, take care and have a great rest of your week!
Many Thanks,
Lara Smurf 🍄 (& Eric, too)
