Magic Puzzle Company: Partnership with Target, Silencing of Critical Backers
I just wanted to post about my experience with Magic Puzzle Company, a project successfully funded in June of this year.
Things seemed to be going well despite some drama along the way, until a few weeks ago, when backers started reporting they were seeing the puzzles in Target stores before all backers had puzzles in hand.
Magic Puzzle Company has not addressed this, and instead, is refunding pledges of those that are asking for updates or trying to converse with other backers regarding the issues going on so that we can no longer comment or interact with the campaign in any way.
I received no explanation as to why my pledge was cancelled at around midnight last night. I said nothing that was even remotely out of line, I merely expressed criticism, offered thoughts as to what is going on, and pointed out things that didn't make sense where applicable.
I had received a form message the previous day that was condescending telling me I "seemed unhappy" and implying that we were only unhappy because we didn't have our packages yet. They have completely ignored that the reason backers are upset is that Target shoppers have puzzles before we do when the campaign made it seem like these might never make it to retail so backing was imperative to making sure we got the product if we liked it. This message offered me a refund and I did not even respond, and my comments will show I even outright stated I did not want a refund, I just wanted more transparency.
There are other backers in the comments being straight up nasty to those that are upset, but none of their pledges have been refunded, likely due to the fact that they are being supportive to the company and that makes them okay.
I just want to warn other backers- apparently being at all critical may be grounds for having your pledge cancelled. I never expected something like this would happen. I would be happy to provide photos of all of my comments if anyone would like to see the content, I thought they were very tame and very much in the realm of a concerned backer trying to ask for a response from the campaign creator about such terrible communication.
I have reached out both to them directly, and to Kickstarter. I don't think this type of behavior is okay, and I want others to be aware of it. If you are a backer of this campaign, consider posting a comment letting other backers know that they are doing this, because I no longer can.
Edit 10/22/2020: it has been brought to my attention this post is finally getting some notice on the KS comments- no matter how they may change their strategy going forward, let it be known this did happen, this is/was true at the time of writing, and if they try to claim otherwise I and seemingly many others can disprove it. Some people may not want to believe it, or may try to say we can't possibly be telling the truth but I assure you we are.

This aspect of her magic serves as a reminder that power should be used responsibly and with caution. In conclusion, Gillian Owens possesses a spellbound magic that allows her to cast spells that enchant and captivate others. Her natural charm and allure enable her to manipulate and influence those around her. However, her magic comes with consequences, showcasing the importance of using power responsibly.
