Hello Adventures!
Exciting news! A prototype copy has landed!
I was able to pick up the prototype from Spiel Essen directly from the Whatz Games Manufacturing stand.
It’s so surreal to be holding a physical copy of something we’ve been working towards for so long. First impressions are amazing.
It’s worth repeating just how great the artwork looks. Adrián Iglesias ‘El Santa’, did a wonderful job and seeing the characters in print is so exciting.
We will be scrutinising this prototype and once it gets the green light we will start the manufacturing process. ✨
In the meantime I’m looking to get some pretty product photography done so you will get to see more of the prototype as we share those.
For now, here’s a sneak peek. No spoilers, just a very happy designer!
See you in the next update! 🖖

Finally! Some news!

Hello Adventurers!
Apologies for the lack of updates recently. Things continued to be boring with back-and-forth on getting the design files right. But finally, we have signed off the files and the prototype is in production!
There are several non-standard components and techniques which add to the tactility of the game. They proved to be very fiddly to get right. But, we think they will be worth it...
For a rough timeline, the prototype will take 25 days to arrive, and once everything is signed off, we can go full steam ahead into full manufacturing, which will take 50-60 days. With shipping, the game might end up landing in February 2027. This is later than we had hoped. However, there should be more frequent updates as things actually start to move forward.
We wish we had better news but we want to make sure that the game is working and up the standards it should be. Just to remind you why Interstellar Adventures is worth the wait, we have put together some highlights.
The game contains three episodes of gameplay, totalling approximately 3 hours of game play and adventure. ⏳
Over 300 fully illustrated cards in a dynamic comic book style from Adrian Inglesias. These illustrations feel like scenes of your favourite retro sci-fi tv show… 🖖
A crew of characters that capture the imagination. A favourite of ours is newest recruit Marty… He’s a Quarlian with 4 arms (2 sets). He uses one set to do stuff and one set just to gesture, to compensate for not having any eyebrows. 🤨
There are 8 secret missions that are outside the narrative. You can collect your trophies for completing these and they effect your final game score. 🏆
A wide variety of puzzles made to appeal to a range of brains. There should be a moment to shine for everyone on the crew. 🧠
Tactile components that reveal the unexpected… ✨
Dexterity challenges and exploration mechanics to take the gameplay to a different level. 🚀
Not a timed experience, play for as long as you want.
An analogue, offline experience. Ready to play anywhere. 🪐
Hints are ‘in-world’, provided by the characters when possible to continue the immersive experience.
We would like to thank you for your continued patience.
In other news, Harriet (the Minty of the Minty Noodles Ltd) is heading to Spiel Essen. Hope to see a bunch of you there.
See you on the next update! 💚
Thanks,
Minty Noodles Ltd

An update on the "Become and Extra" tier.
4 months ago
– Thu, Jul 02, 2026 at 06:57:16 AM
Hello Adventurers,
There was an opportunity as part of the Kickstarter campaign to become an extra in Interstellar Adventures. This meant that our talented illustrator Adrian 'El Santa' Iglesias would draw backers (or their pets) in his signature comic book style and those characters would feature in the final game.
We were so chuffed when James backed the game at this tier. Adrian did an amazing job of turning James into a character and even included his adorable cats as sidekicks.
We liked the character so much we expanded the role and James now makes an appearance in Episode 2 as well as 3!
James is also a puzzle designer and makes some amazing games! Taskmaster: The Escape Room game is the most recently released and Jurassic Park: Escape from Isla Nublar which is coming soon. If you want to read more about James and his work you can read Escape Puzzlers most recent Meet Your Maker interview here.
See you on the next update! 💚
Thanks,
Minty Noodles Ltd

Hello Adventurers,
Surveys and Shipping
The time has come to lock orders and charge for shipping. We are planning to lock orders on the 29th June and charge for shipping on the 1st July. 95% of people have filled out their surveys. We will send out personal nudge email to the last 5% so keep an eye out if you cant remember filling it out.
Timeline Update
We are working hard to make changes to the design files to reflect the changes for the box and the knock on effects for the gameplay. Please see the graphic below for an update for the timeline. We are REALLY hoping for the games to be landing with you in January. Although we are mindful that this timeline goes over the Christmas period so there may be unforeseen delays. Thank you for you patience, as first time creators we are learning a lot from this process and are committed to getting the best version of the game to you.
In other news...
There are a few new and interesting escape rooms/narrative puzzle games on Kickstarter at the moment.

Development update and UKGE 🚀
6 months ago
– Wed, May 27, 2026 at 09:16:43 AM
Hello Adventurers,
Well! The white sample has proved to be very useful indeed. We have shared the white sample with a few trusted friends and designers and had some pretty strong, honest and very useful reactions.
From these reactions we've decided to make a major change to the box design and most likely to completely simplify it - do away with magnets and prioritise functionality. It would have been nice to do something funky but it's not worth compromising the structural integrity of the box and creating frankly an annoying experience that does not enhance gameplay.
This change means we need to update some of the design files and one of the secret missions, but we do think that this change will be worth it. This whole kerfuffle has, however, put us behind schedule. We will have more clarity around expected dates once we have finalised all the files. So please bear with us while we get the clarity, and we will update you when we can.
In other news...
We will be at UKGE! We don't have a stall like last year but we will be part of the #BoardGameProtoHype stand (3-T27). Harriet (The Minty of the Minty Noodles) will be on the stall on Saturday morning. So please come and say hi and have a look at our prototype of Episode one.
What is BoardGameProtoHype?
#BoardGameProtoHype is a global community dedicated to supporting indie board game designers. By bringing multiple designers together onto a stand at UKGE we can support one another, give brilliant games the attention they deserve, and grow a community that celebrates creativity, originality, and the passion behind every prototype.
See you at UKGE, if not, see on the next update! 💚
Thanks,
Minty Noodles Ltd
