Look, we’re going to level with you. We slid into the inbox of everyone who left us those awesome text reviews and politely asked, "Hey! Any chance you'd say that exact same thing on camera?"
The response? Pure, unadulterated, haunting silence. 👻
At this point, we’re assuming you’ve all entered witness protection or lost your phone cameras in a tragic boating accident. But here’s the deal: we need video testimonials, and we are not above shameless bribery.
The Bribe (Err... The Rewards)
If you send us a video testimonial, we will literally shower you with free stuff. You get:
A FREE Expansion Pack 📦
A Terrible Influence Beer Koozie 🍺
An entry into our giveaway (to win a call with founder Mark Cope!)
What We Need (Keep It Messy)
We don’t want high-budget Hollywood production. We want raw, chaotic, unfiltered game-night energy.
- A quick 15-second hot take on why the game ruined your friend group.
- A blurry clip of someone losing their mind during a round.
- An unboxing where you look genuinely bewildered by the chaos.
How to Send It to Us
-
Email: Send your video clip directly to [email protected]
-
DM or Tag Us: @terribleinfluence on TikTok or Instagram
Please break the silence. Send us your beautiful, unhinged faces and take our free loot.
Stay chaotic,
Mark + The Terrible Influence Team

Hey everyone,
First off, thank you again for backing Terrible Influence. Seeing this community come together around the game has honestly been insane, and now we want to bring you even more into the chaos.
As a small game trying to break into the industry, we’re looking for backers to help us reach even more audiences! Consider doing one of the following and get some sweet rewards:
-
LEAVE A REVIEW ON OUR PRODUCT PAGE:this will get you an entry into a giveaway to win an exclusive call with Mark Cope, founder of the game.
-
SHOW US HOW YOU’RE PLAYING THE GAME: If you send us a video, photo, or audio testimonial, we'll send you a free expansion pack and a giveaway entry. You can email it to [email protected] or hit us up on Instagram or Tiktok.
-
POST YOUR CONTENT ON SOCIAL: if you DM and tag us @terribleinfluence, we'll send you a beer koozie, and you'll get a giveaway entry.
Are you a creator with an audience of your own?
We’re looking for genuine testimonials now that you have the game in hand. And if you’re up for it, showing off the game in your own creative way with video or photos. Nothing polished or overly produced, the messier, funnier, and more unhinged, the better. We want real reactions, real friend groups, and real chaotic moments. Some ideas:
- Unboxing + first impressions (“Is this game actually unhinged?”)
- POV-style videos (bringing the game to a party, exposing your friends, etc.)
- Honest reviews or reactions
- Funny photos or clips from game night
- The vibe should feel raw, unfiltered, and chaotic, exactly what Terrible Influence is all about.
To make things even more fun, anyone who participates has a chance to become a recurring Terrible Influence creator/ambassador, with future opportunities. If you’re interested, just send us an email or fill out our form here.
We seriously can’t wait to see the chaos you create.
Thanks again for being part of Terrible Influence.

5 months ago

Hey everyone,
This is the update we’ve all been waiting for…
Terrible Influence is officially shipping out this week.
We’ve received the games from our manufacturer, everything is in hand, and we’re now in the process of packing and sending them out to all of you. After all the work, delays, and chaos along the way, it feels pretty incredible to finally say that.
And more importantly—this game exists because of you.
You backed it, believed in it, and helped bring this whole thing to life. We seriously can’t thank you enough.
📦 A Couple Quick (Important) Things:
1. If you haven’t submitted your address yet:
Keep an eye on your email—we’ve been reaching out.
You can also head directly to BackerKit and make sure your info is filled out.
2. If you’ve moved in the past year:
Please send us a message ASAP with your updated shipping info.
We want to make sure your game actually gets to you (and not your old apartment, your parents’ house, or some random stranger who suddenly becomes a Terrible Influence).
🚚 What Happens Next?
- Orders are being packed and shipped in batches
- You’ll receive tracking info as soon as your order goes out
- Delivery times will vary slightly depending on location
We cannot wait for you to get this game to the table, make some terrible decisions, and (hopefully) create some chaotic, unforgettable moments.
And when you do—we want to see it.
More on that soon 😉
Thank you again for being part of this from the beginning.
Let’s make this thing a terrible success.

🚨 Production Complete. Games Are On The Way.
6 months ago
– Thu, Feb 19, 2026 at 04:03:11 PM
We’re excited to officially say it:
Terrible Influence has finished manufacturing.
The games are complete and currently on their way to us from BODA Games. Seeing this project move from idea → prototype → production → shipment has been surreal, and we can’t thank you enough for helping make it happen.
📦 What Happens Next?
Once the shipment arrives in March, we’ll begin sending games out to backers immediately.
Our priority is getting your copies packed and shipped as quickly and smoothly as possible. As soon as we have the games in hand, fulfillment begins.
⚠️ Final Call: Shipping Surveys
We’ve followed up with almost everyone who hadn’t completed their survey or provided a shipping address — but there are still a few outstanding.
If you are not 100% sure you filled out your survey, please send us a message here on Kickstarter as soon as possible so we can confirm your shipping details.
We don’t want anyone’s game sitting in a box because of a missing address.
🎉 What’s Coming Next?
We’ll be attending GAMA in two weeks to start showing Terrible Influence to retailers and distributors.
Are you attending GAMA? Be sure to visit us at Booth #286!
March and April are going to be busy months as we officially launch the game at retail and attend additional events. This is where things really start to scale — and you were the ones who made it possible.
📲 Follow Along
As we head into launch, we’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes updates, event coverage, and retail rollout news on social media.

More updates coming soon!
