How does Kickstarter work?

Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform that gives creators a way to present a project and deliver it to you. If you would like to get a copy of Hoki, select a reward tier and any add ons you would like. You will only be charged if the campaign succeeds. If the campaign ends successfully, we will then email you a survey which will confirm your rewards and shipping address including country. Reminder, you will be charged for shipping based on your location. Please see the chart in the campaign page for more details. Once the game is manufactured, it will be delivered to you no later than February 2024.

Is Hoki a group game?

Hoki is a one player game, but due to its casual nature, it can also be enjoyed in groups.

Why the name Hoki?

Hoki means soul in Armenian and is a common term of endearment. The game does not have religious themes, but is inspired by Armenian culture. The name also pertains to the story of your mysterious teacher. We also hear it means lots of things in other languages. Fish, shovel, etc. All very interesting!

How many attempts does it take to become a Seer?

About 60 attempts if you play with the correct strategies. Remember, each attempt takes 5 minutes. Also, we plan to make the strategies pretty clear. We fought hard against our own fears to keep the whole experience as long as it is. The feeling at the end of it is epic, and feels even better after you work for it.

Can Hoki really tell the future?

No, it is just really fun and inspiring. As we mentioned, it is influenced by Armenian coffee cup reading, Klondike, and Fal’e Hafiz. Armenian coffee is made with fine grounds mixed directly into the brew so they stick to the walls and make interesting patterns to interpret. While you play Klondike solitaire, you can put something in your mind as you play, and if you win, that thing will come true. This is called “Opening your Fate.” The poetry of Hafiz, a famous 14th century Persian poet, is often used for guidance and fortune telling as well.

We wanted to share all of these traditions through this unique solitaire experience. In Hoki, the pictures in each card have symbols that point to different fortunes. If you clear the deck you will receive a fortune and guidance.

How does the fortune book work with the cards?

After it is unlocked, the fortune book contains a backstory, lore, and 72 pages of fortunes that correspond with every possible “win-state” after a successful clear. Each page contains a variety of “styles” of inspiring, cryptic, and thought provoking fortunes.

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
