Here's a Hunting of the Shark shipping update!

All packages for US backers have been shipped from our fulfiller's warehouse in Florida. So, if you're in the US and you ordered a physical copy of The Hunting of the Shark, Mindspaces, or any other project from us through this campaign or the BackerKit campaign, it should be on the way to you or already arrived at your house. 

If you're in the US and you haven't gotten a tracking number from us, please let us know at our contact page. Select "I have a question about a crowdfunding campaign."

If you got your books, we'd love it you'd post pictures on your social media and share it with friends. If you know anyone who'd like to preorder copies, we just put the books up on our store. You can send them there if you like! (Shipments will not go out until we're sure all Kickstarter backer packages have been sent.)

All orders to Canada have been packed by our fulfiller and tracking numbers have been generated. They have not yet left the warehouse, because they need to be trucked up north with a bunch of other stuff. That should happen soon. We'll let you know when we see them leave Florida.

If you’ve received your tracking number, it may take a few more days to show movement while the truck travels from Florida to Canada. Once FedEx scans it in Canada, updates should appear.

Every digital file has been placed into the downloads section of your BackerKit account. You can go there now and download The Hunting of the Shark, Mindspaces, or anything else.

The exception is The 12 Days of Christmas, which will begin its release next week. With Christmas just around the corner, everyone who ordered The 12 Days of Cryptics and the Con Cryptic Bonus Pack has been entered into our email system. Starting on December 24th, you'll start getting daily emails filled with holiday puzzle goodness. You'll get 24 puzzles in all, a veritable advent calendar of cryptic craziness.

If you know anyone who wants to puzzle along with you, they can go to our store and pre-register. 

The Hunting of the Shark does not have its answers included. But we did make a PDF answer file available for you in your Hunting downloads. Just download the puzzle file and unzip it. You'll see the book and the answers.

The Puzzlevania Map does not have answers, because there is no canonical set of answers to that optimization puzzle. We'd love to see yours when you've got the best score you can.

PuzzCulture just ran a phenomenal retrospective of our 2013 White Heffalump gift exchange, which we ran in public with many of our celebrity and designer friends. It's a ripping read, so if you'd like some extra holiday cheer, go to the PuzzCulture site and read all about it. You'll be glad you did.

We're excited to see US shipping done for this campaign and Canada shipping coming along. We hope you enjoy the mountain of puzzles we're sending you. If you like them, please tell us!

Wishing you a happy holidays from all of us at Shark HQ,

The Sharks
