Earworm is a party game for people who LOVE music! Earworm is suited for groups of all shapes and sizes and can be played anywhere! In everything that VStheUNIVERSE produces, a healthy amount of music is infused into its creation. We developed Earworm for the music-lover, the karaoke rockstars, the band geek, the shower singers,...We made this game for ANYONE who loves music. We know you'll love it too! Players have 30 seconds to vocalize a song to their team using any sound they can muster up with one rule: you can't use any lyrics!
This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.
We are extending the Expansion Voting Deadline to Monday, July 30th, at 5PM CDT.
We've taken a look at the current results for the expansion voting and we are SHOCKED at some of the songs that have been topping the charts! Currently we have 109 registered votes on the expansion survey, but we have over 500 backers which means people need more time to cast their ballots!
NOTE: The expansion is a 36-card pack. This includes 27 user-voted cards plus 9 blank cards.
NOTE 2: Currently "Soul Meets Body" by Death Cab For Cutie has 1 vote, and one of our designers voted for it. He knew he was throwing away the vote with that one, and doesn't care!
To give you a taste of what songs are currently at the top, here are the Top Five:
Happy voting! We'll update you next week with the winners!

What's good Earybody?
The final vote is here! The list of vote-able songs is compiled from non-winners of previous rounds that had high votes, recent playtest suggestions, as well as a few songs submitted after the last round of voting but before the KS campaign ended.
NOTE: The expansion is a 36-card pack. This includes 27 user-voted cards plus 9 blank cards.

Voting will conclude at 5PM CDT this Friday.
Unfortunately, our artist came down with a nasty illness in July, so we hit a small delay with our assets timetable, but we've seen some of the new characters he's designed for the game and they're *fantastic!*
So far 78% of you have completed your BackerKit! 78%! We would love to see that number get to 85% or more before August 1st! We will be locking down BackerKit orders on 9/1/18! We will also begin charging cards this day as well.
NOTE: If you need to answer or change your survey before we lock it down and can't find the link, go to this page: https://earworm.backerkit.com/ --> enter your email address and click "Get My Survey".
What if I haven't answered my survey yet? Well, you should! Please try and complete your survey before we lock them down. If you have not completed your survey by the time we lock them down, it might delay the shipping of your game.
What if my address changes after lockdown? You can continue to change your address up until shortly before we are ready to ship. Please make sure you update any changes to your shipping address in your BackerKit survey. Changing your address in Kickstarter or messaging VStheUNIVERE will not guarantee that it gets updated where it needs to be -- in BackerKit. We will do another update when we are getting ready to lock down addresses but this is just a little warning so everyone knows!
You voted for the meetup time and we're happy to say the Earworm meetup will be held at 1PM on Saturday! We'll be posting more info about this as GenCon approaches next week.

Hey there Earybody!
We unleashed the BackerKit to all backers today since the Smoke Test went well. We encountered one tiny issue with a weight discrepancy and solved it immediately. If you're a Kickstarter backer, you'll have the option to add more games to your order, so go nuts!
We will be available to answer any and all questions about the BackerKit in the comments. Let us know what questions you have and we'll do our best to get to them in a timely manner.
We will be locking down the BackerKit orders in mid-August, and charging people at the end of July, so fill our your BackerKit survey ASAP so you don't miss out!
We are forced to collect shipping on everyone in the BackerKit. When you come to a Local Pick-Up event in Chicago we will refund you your shipping fees. In the event that you do not come to a Local Pick-Up event in Chicago, we'll ship out your game.
We're figuring out when we can have a meetup at GenCon that works for everyone. You can help us decide when! Head here to vote on a time.
Our friend James from ONE SHOT wrote a pretty cool book that is helpful for any D&D fan! Check it out here and pre-order your copy today!

Hello Earybody!
We're happy to say that we've assembled our BackerKit and are ready to send out a Smoke Test for the checkout process!
It's how we test out the BackerKit to see if it works correctly. Only 5% of backers will receive a link to the BackerKit today, and they'll be able to use the BackerKit and give us feedback on the process. If there's a problem, we'll solve it. If there are no problems then we'll have the BackerKit go live for everyone ASAP.
If you were sent a survey but did NOT fill it out, please do so ASAP! This especially goes for our $250 tier backers! If we don't get your survey answers and photos soon then it could delay the art design process quite a bit.
