Everything you need to know before the Game Changer: Home Edition Kickstarter launches on May 5th, 2026.
General Campaign & Timeline
Why is Dropout running a Kickstarter?
Totally fair question! Could we make Game Changer: Home Edition without a crowdfunding campaign? Probably! But we have a lot of reasons to use Kickstarter instead:
- We want to make this with you, not just for you. If we go straight to store shelves, you won’t get a chance to see the game until it’s 100% complete. That means the final game has no room to incorporate your feedback or suggestions. And, as you’ll see when we launch our Kickstarter on May 5, we’ve got very specific plans for involving all of you in finishing the game!
- We want to make sure you’re as excited as we are! We’ve never made anything as ambitious as Game Changer: Home Edition, and launching on Kickstarter gives us a better idea of how you feel about it, and lets us ensure we’re making the right number of copies.
- We want more people to join the fun! Kickstarter has its own huge community of passionate party game players who don’t know about Game Changer (yet), but we think the game would be a blast for them too.

Pledging & Billing
Do I need a Kickstarter account to back the project?

When will I be charged for my backing?
Kickstarter will only charge your card if we reach our minimum goal, and your card will not be charged until the day the campaign ends.
