Latest Updates from Our Project:

Fulfillment Update #2
12 days ago – Wed, Feb 11, 2026 at 08:07:19 AM

Hello all!

Brightview is inching closer to your tables...

Here are some fulfillment updates below: 

US/CA -  Shipment was actually ahead of schedule and now at the fulfillment center - Flying Cloud. A notice was sent out to backers today notifying them that their addresses will be locking on Friday, so please make sure those are current and accurate. Once the addresses are locked, shipping should be able to start soon after!

UK/EU -Shipment looks to still be on track to Zatu for the end of the month, so expect a follow-up status on this in the next update.

AU/NZ/SG - Small delay for backers in these countries as VFI has paused hub shipping until after Chinese New Year. The game is now listed on their hub status list (which is good), so we'll be able to see when this eventually updates after the holiday to say "Estimated Hub Arrival". Link is below for backers to check status.

https://vfi.asia/hubs/

That is the current status as of now, so I'll update you all again in the very near future!

Hope some folks have gotten the chance to listen to the Soundtrack so far or have printed their Whisperer miniature. Let me know!

Thank you,

Justin

Update on Fulfillment, STL/Soundtrack Files, and More
about 1 month ago – Thu, Jan 22, 2026 at 12:41:45 PM

Hello everyone!

Hope all of you are having a good start to the new year so far! I'm hearing whispers that The Brightview Haunting is getting closer to finally reaching your tables.

Fulfillment

As of today fulfillment should be on track to start in late February for US/CA backers and mid March for Europe backers. For all other countries, I would say sometime in March as well. As a reminder to backers, you'll receive an email from BackerKit when fulfillment is looming telling you to confirm your address.

Addresses and Surveys

The address lock process has just about started for backers in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, but we won't lock addresses for all other backers until freight is closer to arriving at the fulfillment centers. This is coming up quick so make sure addresses are accurate. 

There is still some stragglers who haven't completed their surveys, some who haven't put in their payment information to pay for shipping, and a few backers whose cards are still declining for the shipping charge. Please complete as soon as possible since fulfillment is just around the corner. I will make sure to reach out to some of you if surveys stay incomplete.

STL/Soundtrack Files

I've decided that I will start sending out the Soundtrack and Whisperer STL files today to the backers who've completed their surveys. I hope you guys like the music and for those who bought the STL, I can't wait to see them painted before getting the game to your tables! You'll be able to find these files on your survey confirmation page shortly. 

If you haven't finished your surveys yet, please complete so I can send these digital rewards to you.

Rulebook is on BGG

If anyone is curious at the final rulebook and would like to get some early reading in, you can download it now in the Files section of The Brightview Haunting's BGG page. Here is a link to it: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/315308/the-brightview-haunting-rulebook

Claustrum Development

Development on Claustrum is going strong and I'm getting a lot more playtests in recently, so the mechanics and gameplay are really getting ironed out. As I mentioned in my last update, if anyone has Tabletop Simulator on Steam and would like to playtest at any point, please DM me on any socials to let me know and we can set something up.

Here's another creature preview (Hollowstalk):

Thank you all again for the support and please let me know if you need any help accessing the digital rewards.

Production Completed
2 months ago – Wed, Dec 24, 2025 at 06:07:19 AM

Hello all and Happy Holidays!

Great news, production went smoothly and is now completed! 

Here are some pictures below:

Shipping

As of now, the shipments are in the process of leaving the factory and we're still waiting on confirmed shipping dates. More to follow in the next update.

Surveys

Reminder to please complete and finish your surveys! There are still backers who have filled out their survey and provided an address, but haven't added their payment information to get charged for shipping. As a reminder, when addresses eventually lock in the future, you won't be able to receive the game unless you input that information come the time.

If you have any questions on your surveys please feel free to reach out.

Claustrum

Development on the new game is going great and I've recently added a few new creatures to the mix. Here is a sneak peek at the Vyracull below:

If anyone is interested in playtesting the game with me on Tabletop Simulator, please reach out either on Kickstarter or DM me on Instagram.

Again, thank you all for supporting The Brightview Haunting over the course of this year. I'm excited to get this on your tables in the very near future!

Have a good holiday everyone and Happy New Year!

Short Update on Manufacturing
3 months ago – Tue, Nov 25, 2025 at 09:26:21 AM

Hello all,

Just wanted to give a small update as manufacturing is going smoothly and it's still on schedule to finish around Christmas time. I will be getting a Mass Production sample sometime late this week or early next week to make sure everything looks good. Once I give LongPack the green light, they can continue in their manufacturing process and finish production.

I will provide another update in early December to showcase some of the updated components from the sample, pictures from the manufacturer, and possibly some videos of behind the scenes production. The haunting in Brightview is getting closer!

Pledge Manager

Around 88% of backers have completed their surveys. There are still 15-20 of you who need to complete your surveys so please get those done as soon as possible. I will keep reminding those who haven't through email or I'll reach out to you directly to get it completed.

Claustrum

If you're not following me on Instagram/Facebook, I announced a new game, Claustrum, on Halloween. This is a new 2-4 player fully cooperative game that's currently in development and I can't wait to show more updates on this in the future.

You can follow its pre-launch page here:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/typhon-games/claustrum-board-game

Thank you all again for the continued support and the finish line is almost in sight!

Manufacturing Underway, Locking Orders, Charging Cards
4 months ago – Thu, Oct 16, 2025 at 08:26:37 AM

Hello everyone!

Great news, manufacturing was given the green light just the other day! With this process starting, the timeline currently stands at production finishing around the holidays in December. So we'll still be in line for fulfillment in Q1 of next year.

Locking Orders

Since the manufacturing order has been finalized, I will be sending out the 48hr notification for locking orders in BackerKit today, which means on 10/18 the orders will officially lock. For anyone who still hasn't filled out their surveys or completed them with their payment info, please get that done within the next two days.

*You will still be able to update your address after your orders are locked.

Charging Cards

I will be charging cards on 10/31 for pledges, shipping, and taxes.

*For any future preorders, they will automatically get locked and charged once completed.

Tariff Situation

Currently, the tariff rate is 30%, and if it stays the same or goes down by fulfillment time, I will cover the cost. If the tariffs increase, I'll need to consider using BackerKit's tariff cost tool to charge US backers once that shipment is out of China. I will update you all on this possible charge again closer to the time.

2 Giveaways Going on Now!

If you have any friends or others in the community who are interested in winning a copy of the game, send them to these links below!

BoardGameDuck's Giveaway 

Tabletop Misfits's Giveaway

We're getting closer all and I will update you guys once again in November for a status on the manufacturing.

Thank you again to everyone who has supported this project along the way!
