The journey is going ahead. Following the close of the Kickstarter campaign, Philip and Andrew have confirmed that Journey to the Emerald City is funded and moving into production.
The campaign began with a £5,000 target. In their update on 21 October, the Twins thanked everyone who backed the project, shared it or helped spread the word, after support took the adventure beyond that original goal.
The next stage is making the game. Philip and Andrew plan to share progress as the first Active Brain Game takes shape, giving backers a closer look at the work behind the adventure.
