🎉🎉🎉 WE HAVE LIFTOFF! Mission complete, crew! The Reactor Rescue Kickstarter campaign has officially crossed the finish line!
We just cracked open a bottle, and Mission Control SALUTES YOU!
It's been an incredible month. We've been glued to the Kickstarter page almost non-stop, and every time those numbers on the ticker moved, we made it a habit to say thank you. Each and every one of you, all 2200 of you were on our minds as you took action and backed Reactor Rescue.
As you already know, we're first-time Kickstarter creators. So, you can only imagine what this ride has been like and what you have done for us! Every experience was brand new, and every milestone hit us with that "OMG, OMG, OMG" intensity. Sometimes we didn't even know how to process it. So truly - THANK YOU!
We'll say this. We've loved every step of building Reactor Rescue. From the moment the idea was born to every iteration, every playtest, every review. We celebrated every sample we received in the process. Everything that met our standards was a moment of joy, and everything that didn't was reviewed and improved until it did.
But YOU! You were the best part of all of it. You made everything we worked for, REAL. And we are incredibly happy to be bringing the games into your hands in September!
Some great news from our side.....Production Is Already Underway
Our partner Hape has been busy getting manufacturing in order, and we're thrilled to announce that things are already moving. This means we're on track to deliver Reactor Rescue to you in September!
This also means we need to move fast, together. There's a lot to organise over the next 4 months to make sure everything runs smoothly!
What's Next?
Right now, you don't need to do anything. Here's how the next few weeks will unfold:
-
Over the next 2 weeks, Kickstarter will collect all funds and we'll import everything into BackerKit — our pledge manager.
-
In about 7 days, you'll receive a BackerKit survey link. This survey will ask you to finalise your pledge, add extra copies or add-ons, and provide your delivery address. We'll post an update as soon as those invitations go out.
This is really important: Once you receive the BackerKit survey, we need you to take action! Finalising your order and delivery details on time allows us to smoothly organise the rest of our operations. Shipping costs will be calculated closer to the delivery date, so you get the most accurate rates.
Don't worry, if you need to update your address later, you'll still be able to do so closer to the fulfilment date. For now, the most important things are your country and final order quantities so we can lock in production numbers and keep everything on schedule.
Now... the Stretch Goal #6: "The Project Lab" — 3D-Printable Clip-it Files + 5 Guided Projects
The Final Reactor Sequence — Status Update!
As you know, Mission Control has approved the unlocking of Stretch Goal #6 once the Final Reactor Sequence is completed — but it still needs some work! We've tallied all the missions and here's where we stand:
- ✅ Mission 1 — 205/200 transmissions. Finally done!
- ✅ Mission 2 — COMPLETE ⚡
- ✅ Mission 3 — COMPLETE ⚡
- ⚠️ Mission 4 — 103/250 photos. This one needs more power!
- ✅ Mission 5 — COMPLETE ⚡
- ✅ Mission 6 — COMPLETE ⚡
- ⚠️ Mission 7 — 80/100 comments received. Just 20 more and we make this happen!
All missions except Mission 4 and Mission 7 are complete. We need 20 more comments and a few more Reactor Rescue Room photos to unlock it. Let's do this!
Mission 4: For the Reactor Room — if you can't find your backer number, just use your name!
Mission 7: As we close out this campaign, drop a comment and let us know: what's your favourite thing about Reactor Rescue? 20 more and we hit that goal and open Stretch Goal #6 together!
Time is running out! The Final Reactor Sequence closes on May 31st, that gives us just days to hit those final targets and unlock Stretch Goal #6. Let's make it happen, crew!
What is Stretch Goal #6: The Project Lab
🖨️ 3D-Printable Clip-it Files — Download, print, and snap your LabBox blocks onto anything. Turn your game components into a building system. Don't have a 3D printer? No worries — we'll provide files compatible with all major online printing services.
📘 5 Guided Project Books — Step-by-step guides to build 5 real-world projects using only the blocks already in your Reactor Rescue box. Each project includes the science behind it, clear instructions, and creative challenges to take it further.
And lastly....
Thank you for making Reactor Rescue a reality. You are as much a part of this as we are, and this is just the beginning. The momentum we've built together on this campaign has us buzzing, and we can't wait to see how far this spacecraft flies!
From everyone at Mission Control, we salute you with loads of love!
Arta & Fiona 💜
P.S We love hearing from you, the community. So join us on our social media channels to share your gaming experiences and see what we are up to, in addition to all the updates here!
Thank you for all your support, always!
🎯Mission #7: Last Mission of The Final Reactor Sequence
4 months ago
– Tue, May 19, 2026 at 10:30:45 AM
OMG! It's the FINAL COUNTDOWN!
45 hours left. 3338% funded. 1,928 backers.
We just want to pause for a second, because look at what you've done. We are so grateful for each and every one of you. These last hours have our hearts beating a little different.
A month ago we pressed launch and held our breath. You turned it into something we'll never forget.
Now let's make these final 45 hours count. We have a mission sequence to complete and unlock Stretch Goal #6!
First....THE MISSION BOARD: WHERE WE STAND TODAY
⚠️ Mission 1 — 178 / 200 transmissions. So close. 22 to go.
✅ Mission 2 — COMPLETE ⚡
✅ Mission 3 — COMPLETE ⚡
⚠️ Mission 4 — 60 / 250 photos. This one needs more power!
✅ Mission 5 — COMPLETE ⚡
✅ Mission 6 — COMPLETE ⚡ YOU CRUSHED IT! 167 responses on a target of 43. One thing is clear - this crew loves puzzles!
🆕 Mission 7 — The final mission. Keep reading.
4 done. 2 still open. 1 brand new. 45 hours to finish the sequence.
THE PROJECT LAB — STRETCH GOAL #6 - 5 guided real-world projects. 3D-printable Clip-its. Builds using the same components sitting in your Reactor Rescue box. We built it for this community. We really want you to have it. ❤️
We've never been this close. Let's not leave it on the table.
And now.....
⚡ Mission #7: Final Power-Up
This is it. The last mission. The campaign is ending in 45 hours and it needs one final surge of energy from the crew!
Your mission: Go to the Reactor Rescue campaign page. Look at everything, the Game components, the electronic blocks, the engineers, the box, the gameplay. Pick your favorite part. Comment it on this update!
"My favorite part of Reactor Rescue is ___"
Every comment powers up the reactor one more time. Let's make some noise on Kickstarter and give Reactor Rescue one final boost before the clock hits zero!!
🎯 100 comments to mark Mission #7 as COMPLETE.
Now let's talk about unfinished business.
⚠️ Mission #1: Transmission Log — 22 to go.
178 out of 200. We are right there. 22 of you need to make this happen!
22 reports. 46 hours. This crew can do that in their sleep!
⚠️ Mission #4: The Reactor Room — the one that needs you most.
60 out of 250. Take a photo of the spot where Reactor Rescue is going to hit the table for the first time. Kitchen table. Living room floor. Classroom. Grandma's house. 30 seconds.
👉 SUBMIT YOUR REACTOR ROOM PHOTO
Every photo counts. If you've done every other mission and skip this one, the sequence stays incomplete.
This community has blown us away from day one. You've solved puzzles, lit up maps, cracked codes, freed engineers, and showed up every single time we asked.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Now let's finish what we started.
See you at the finish line!

🎯Mission #6: Crack the Code⚡

– Mon, May 18, 2026 at 02:44:33 PM
Hello again from Mission Control!
Less than 72 hours on the clock. OMG! We can't believe it, we're so close to the finish line!
3 missions already COMPLETE. And today we're dropping Mission #6!
Let's get into it.
MISSION BOARD: WHERE WE STAND
⚠️ Mission 1 — 134 / 200 transmissions. So close. 66 to go.
✅ Mission 2 — COMPLETE ⚡
✅ Mission 3 — COMPLETE ⚡
⚠️ Mission 4 — 23 / 250 photos. This one needs all of us.
✅ Mission 5 — COMPLETE ⚡
🆕 Mission 6 — Dropping right now. Keep reading.
🔒 Mission 7 — Drops tomorrow.
Less than 72 hours to finish the sequence. You know what's on the line.
THE PROJECT LAB: STRETCH GOAL #6
All 7 missions COMPLETE = the Project Lab unlocked. 5 guided real-world projects. 3D-printable Clip-its. Builds using the same components in your Reactor Rescue box. This is the stretch goal that gives your box a whole new dimension. We really want you to have this. ❤️
And now..... 🔐 Mission #6: Crack the Code
Are you in the mood to crack the code?
Someone locked the engineers in the Reactor Room. Great timing.
The good news: they found the emergency door panel. The bad news: it needs a 6-digit escape code. The worse news: someone labeled the system like this:
1 — Wire · 2 — Sensor · 3 — Output Block · 4 — Switch · 5 — Repair Token · 6 — Power Block · 7 — Battery · 8 — Closed Circuit · 9 — Open Circuit
Mission Control found 3 clues scratched on the wall, each clue gives you two digits of the code. Solve all three to find the 6-digit code!
👉 CRACK THE CODE
🎯 Goal: 43 correct responses to mark Mission #6 as COMPLETE.
That's Mission 6.
Now let's talk about the missions that are still waiting on you.
⚠️ Mission #4: The Reactor Room - needs your help.
23 out of 250. This is the mission that needs the biggest push right now.
Take a photo of the spot where you'll play Reactor Rescue for the first time. Kitchen table. Living room floor. Classroom. Grandma's house. Holiday cabin. Wherever it's happening, we want to see it.
👉 SUBMIT YOUR REACTOR ROOM PHOTO
If everyone reading this right now submitted a photo, we'd be done by tonight. 30 seconds. Let's go.
⚠️ Mission #1: Transmission Log - 66 to go.
134 out of 200. We're THIS close. Share why you backed Reactor Rescue yet, do it now. One sentence, one link, one hashtag. That's it.
Share the Reactor Rescue Kickstarter link on any social platform with one sentence about why you backed it.
Less than 72 hours. 4 missions to complete. The Project Lab is right there!
Let's bring it home!
The last mission drops tomorrow!

🎯Mission #5: Recharge Mode ⚡

🔋⚡Mission #5: Recharge Mode ⚡
Crew, it’s Sunday.
You’ve been working hard all week helping us keep the reactor alive, so Mission Control decided to play a little joke today…
-
Why did the circuit go to therapy?
-
Because it had too many unresolved issues. 😄🤭😜
🎯 Mission 5 is already marked as COMPLETE.
That’s it. You’ve earned a recharge day.
But since we’re in joke mode now, here’s your optional Sunday challenge:
Come up with a joke about engineers, circuits, Mission Control, or Reactor Rescue and drop it in the comments.
Best one gets a shoutout from Mission Control.
And if your battery still has some energy left, Mission 1 and Mission 4 are still blinking on the dashboard. Mission 3 is almost done, just 2 more countries and it’s complete! ⚡
If you already helped with those: feet up, crew. Mission Control salutes you. 🫡⚡
Mission 6 drops tomorrow.

🎯 Mission 4#: The Reactor Room + 🎉 STRETCH GOAL #5: UNLOCKED!
4 months ago
– Sat, May 16, 2026 at 02:01:46 PM
Hello crew!
We have 4 days left on the clock, 3033% funded, and today we're coming in HOT. Buckle up because today we have a lot to share!
First!
🎉 STRETCH GOAL #5: UNLOCKED!
We did it. We crossed €150K and that means the final two engineers are joining the crew!
And about that vote... you spoke LOUD.
With 40% of the vote, your 6th Engineer is: THE DEBUGGER.
The Component Engineer put up a fight at 25%, and every candidate had fans in Mission Control. But the people have spoken. The Debugger is officially in your box!
The poll still had a day left, but since we've unlocked Stretch Goal #5, we're calling it. The people have spoken.
⚠️ Mission 3#: Light up the Grid - Status Update: We need 9 more countries!
You absolutely crushed the node count. 625 transmitted signals. That's INSANE. Mission Control was not expecting that kind of power surge.
However. We need 30 countries to mark it complete, and we're currently at 21. Nine more regions need to light up.
Important Announcement: Mission Control experienced a core disturbance during the initial wave and wasn't able to verify all incoming signals. Some of you transmitted but your node didn't register.
So here's what to do: go check the map. If your country isn't lit up, resubmit your signal. If you get a confirmation message, you're already on the grid. If not, try again. Mission Control should be able to receive your signal now and you'll see your country light up!
👉 CHECK THE MAP AND RESUBMIT
9 more countries. That's all. Let's complete this mission!
⚠️ Mission #1: Transmission Log -> is NOT complete yet.
We're at 48 out of 200 mission reports. Crew. Come on. This is doable! Just speak from the heart!
Share what you love about Reactor Rescue. Maybe it's the circuit building in a board game. Maybe it's the learning that comes with it. Maybe it's the idea of fixing a spacecraft. Maybe it's the competition under time pressure. Whatever your reason, that's your mission report. We'd love to see them. One sentence. One share. One hashtag. 1 minute of your time. Let's go!
Here's how to complete it:
We need ALL 7 missions complete to unlock the Stretch goal #6 The Project Lab - the stretch goal that grows your Reactor Rescue experience for one more dimension. 3D-printable Clip-its, 5 guided projects, real-world builds using the same blocks in your box. We really want you to have this!
152 reports to go. If you haven't done it yet, let's go: Submit your report here
And now..... 📸 Mission #4: The Reactor Room
Now for today's mission. And this one is personal.
We've spent months imagining you getting Reactor Rescue to the table. Picturing game nights in the living room, family weekends, that moment when someone's eyes light up because they just completed their first real circuit and fixed part of their spacecraft. We've been living in that daydream since day one. ❤️
Now we want to see it for real.
The table that Reactor Rescue is going to hit for the first time.
Your mission: Take a photo of the place where you'll play Reactor Rescue and submit it here:
👉 SUBMIT YOUR #REACTOR ROOM
The form will ask for your photo, backer number, country and city (If US, state). So we can link it to your Node Activation Signal!
🎯 Goal: 250 Reactor Room photos to mark Mission #4 as COMPLETE.
4 missions launched, 3 to go. The Project Lab is still in your hands. Let's make it happen!
Mission 5 drops tomorrow.
Mission Control out.
