Important: Less Than 36 Hours to Expand Your Shiververse! (And Happy Halloween, Too! 🎃)
6 months ago – Tue, Oct 31, 2023 at 11:17:52 AM

Our Triple Terror campaign ends tomorrow, and our final stretch goal has been announced!

First, Happy Halloween to all you Shivers fans around the globe! We hope you'll get a chance to crack open your game box today for some frightful fun with your friends and family. You'll be pleased to hear that the Halloween Decor Pack stretch goal has been unlocked

Announcing the final stretch goal: HAMBOT-7!

Many of you voted on our next playable pet, and while the Raccoons won out, Hambot-7 was a close second. So if you can help us get through this next goal, you'll be able to play as an adorable little hamster in its plastic ball, running around and bumping through Fogmoor Manor! Or, snap him into his custom robot body for more capability. We've heard that younger kids especially love playing as the pets. But we need you to back the Triple Terror expansions today to make this happen!

So click here to visit our campaign page to pledge today before time runs out!

We're baaaack! The Shivers Triple Terror expansions are LIVE. Don't miss out on our biggest pop-ups to date! 🏰
7 months ago – Wed, Sep 27, 2023 at 12:03:14 PM

Our new Kickstarter campaign is officially LIVE!

Over 3 years ago, our original campaign for The Shivers caught your eye. Since you're here now, it seems you couldn't resist the magic, the mystery, the artwork, or the amazing pop-ups. Well, let's see if we can tempt you again, with THREE NEW EXPANSIONS—complete with enticing episodes written by incredible guest writers and three jaw-dropping pop-up rooms to add to your adventures!

Click this graphic to go straight to the new campaign!

Which tier should I choose? 

Expansions for The Shivers are sequential, meaning that later expansions re-use some rooms and components found in previous expansions. So, here's where to start based on your tier from this campaign!

Deluxe Game Backers: You've got everything you need to pledge at the Triple Terror tier level. Your original game already includes Expansions 1 & 2. 

Core Game Backers: You'll need to add Expansions 1 & 2 to your order to play the new content. So, pledge at the Triple Terror tier on Kickstarter, and later on in the BackerKit Pledge Manager, add the Expansion 1 & 2 bundle to your cart. Then, you'll be all set. Don't worry, we'll remind you when the Backerkit goes live!

But wait, there's one more surprise...

Full confession, we've been keeping a secret from you. You may have seen glimpses of the Deadly Dungeon, The Ominous Observatory, or the Fogmoor Museum on our social media @TheShiversGame. But today we're revealing something you've never seen, something truly astounding: a pop-up facade of Fogmoor Manor itself!


We're beyond excited to see how our writers weave this towering table topper into their episodes. It will incorporate our signature Story Card system for all episodes moving forward and it's usable with all previous Shivers episodes as well! 

Calling all Shivers fans, we need your support today!

You entrusted us with your support before, and we're very proud to have delivered on our promise to bring you a one-of-a-kind tabletop experience. Now, we want to see the world of The Shivers grow, and once again need your support to make it happen. 

So pledge today, and help us EXPAND THE SHIVERVERSE!

One more powerful way to support our project: helping spread the word about our new campaign on your social media. We'd be ecstatic if you posted a link to our new Kickstarter page, and tagged us @TheShiversGame. Thank you so much, Shivers fans!

This Halloween is going to be downright spooktacular. The Shivers: Triple Terror launches this Fall! 🎃
10 months ago – Thu, Jul 13, 2023 at 12:33:42 PM

Mark your calendars...

 The Shivers: Triple Terror campaign will be launching on Wednesday, September 27th!

That's right, we've been talking about it since the start of the year, and the dates are now set! Three amazing new entries to The Shivers universe are finally ready to make their grand debut. Our next Kickstarter campaign will start on Wednesday, September 27th, and conclude the day after Halloween!

Triple Terror = THREE new expansions!

Oh yes, that's three mind-blowing new expansions that will greatly expand the gameplay of The Shivers. This campaign will include all of the following finds that you'll want to add to your personal Shiververse:

  • Three awesome new pop-up rooms, each pushing the boundaries of pop-up craft and interaction.
  • Three new series of stories, with four episodes each, for a total of twelve chilling adventures written by a distinguished panel of new guest writers.
  • Three sets of new standee boards containing hordes of creepy characters to encounter.
  • Plus, a plethora of surprises that we'll be sharing along the way!

You may be asking yourself, "Jinkies, what can I do?". Well...

First, if you haven't already, go to our Pre-Launch page and click the green Notify Me button. That way Kickstarter will notify you the day we launch, as some pledge tiers will be in limited supply.  

Second, if you've been enjoying The Shivers, help us spread the word on social media so that others can start their journey into the Shiververse and get the new expansions, too! We're @TheShiversGame .

Watch the No Rolls Barred crew tackle The Shivers...

Want to see how some seasoned RPG veterans take on Fogmoor Manor? This might be the best (and most hilarious) Shivers playthrough we've seen.  Tom Burgess does a brilliant job as Storyteller, and Adam, Blair, Laurie, and Holly excel as the characters Riley, Shep the Dog, Autumn, and Brighton. Nearly 100,000 viewers have watched the video, which is the first episode from Expansion #2: It's All Fun and Games Until... 

(Spoiler Alert: They are playing an episode you probably have, and there is some salty language sprinkled lightly throughout). 

That's it for this month, Shivers fans. More updates to come (more frequently) as we get closer to our new launch date. As always, let us know how your family and friends are enjoying the game @TheShiversGame on social media.
