We're writing this as a thank-you to our amazing community. Your enthusiasm and love for gaming make Gamefound what it is - a hub of creativity that brings awesome projects to life. For the first time, we want to shine a spotlight on our top backers in 2024. We've reached out to everyone listed below, and each will receive a small souvenir! We also respect and appreciate those who prefer to remain anonymous.

Just for fun, we've created some achievements for 2024!

This had to be our first category, as we all know the feeling of missing the campaign we wanted to back, right? Well, not this guy! In 2024 alone, he backed 141 projects and hold the highest campaign count. FalafalJones, chapeau bas! We'd love to see your board games collection.

This title was supposed to be split in three, but this backer spent both most money in a singular purchase, and most money overall in 2024. The average pledge on Gamefound is around 160€ (excluding taxes), and even though he chose to remain anonymous we assure you the pledge was over 185 times higher than that!

Crowdfunding is about feedback, and posting comments is one of the best way to give value to creators and backers. With astonishing 5964 comments in 2024, Maced was the most active member of our community. What's even more important, Maced's posts also got the biggest number of likes - almost 11 thousand. Awesome to have you on board!

You want to be a part of the project, but need convincing? Following the project is the remedy for this, and with 5 projects followed on average in 2024 the community sure knows it! How about 531 projects followed in 2024 alone, and over 1100 overall? With this record his inbox must be filled to the brim - Congrats to JKJK!

Even timed yourself pledging? How about when you're not quite sure what to get? We know the elusive '#1 Backer' badge is normally hard to get, but with a pledge in mere 18 seconds after launch of a project - the backer that wishes to remain anonymous can safely say 'I am speed'.

Ever wanted to have a board game shopping spree? This backer lived the dream! With 10 crowdfunding pledges made in 24 hours they are the winner of this category! Even though they did not wish to share their name, this would literally make them a Pledge Master in one day, and that's something.

Even though she is not quite The Pledge Archmaster, Stephanie helped 28 small projects come to life. Only five backers have supported more than 20 projects of this kind in 2024 - and she is at the very top of that list! Thank you for believing in these creators and making their dreams come true! With her Gamefound profile private we can only say - congrats to Stephanie K!

Every achievement up to this point was reserved to regular backers, not creators, influencers or shop owners, but only 3 accounts managed to support crowdfunding campaigns with over $50 000 in 2024, and all of them were stores. With an overwhelming $201 452 pledged GameNerdz is the most supportive retailer on the platform!

But that's not all! We love puzzles of all kind, so we thought you might like them as well. That's why we invite you to play a game with us and win our goodie pack. Are you ready? Be warned: that's not going to be easy!

We prepared a special "scavenger hunt": The Gamefound Puzzle. We start with the simple image below. There are a few hidden clues, and once you unveil them all, you'll discover the answer that's closely tied to the upcoming feature!

If you have problems with solving the riddles, we will be providing hints on how to reach the next step in our Puzzle. You can try solving it all by yourself, but we hope you'll be sharing your thoughts and ways that lead you to next steps in the comments. Once someone shares the right hint, we'll update this post so everyone can start solving straight from the unveiled step.

Step 1 - Just as Szymon_Archon noticed, there was a hidden message in the picture! S/ WILL YOU WIN, wonder what that is? EDIT: Indeed, an URL!

Step 2 - After you head to https://gamefound.com/s/willyouwin there is a color, that Y3lish correctly identified as #14b96d

Step 3 - Kass is right, there is a post with the hashtag on our Facebook page! There are still things to uncover, good luck!

Step 4 - Y3lish was right once again! He decoded the secret code from the Facebook post, converting "656D595F4262396353594D" to "emY_Bb9cSYM."

Step 5 - Huge congratulations to Zeon123! He correctly found the YouTube video, set the speed to 0.25x, and discovered a different frame between 06:09:55 and 06:10:00 that says, "Endgame is coming."

And that was the last step, hope you guys enjoyed it! Congrats to all of you!

Are you wondering what "Endgame" is? Keep following our blog, the next weeks should be very telling!
