WHAT THE WHAT?! is a hilarious 3-10 person party game where players compete to pitch outrageous new uses for genuine old time inventions.

Featuring audacious attempts, fantastic fails and clever contraptions from the world's patent archives.

There are Self Saluting Hats, Rocking Chair Bathtubs, Flying Machines and a few that would likely kill you.

Researchers from the Smithsonian and White House Historical Association have spent hours curating 100 inventions from circa 1581 to today. 

We brought this game to Indiegogo because its curious community rises up to support the bold, outlandish creators today. We believe many of you would have backed these incredible inventions.

Whether it was a lack of access to funding, cultural constraints or an inability to share their message widely, the majority of these inventions, never got past the patent or prototype stage. With your help we can now bring them to life!

 

Our beautifully illustrated Digital Booklet deep dives into the journey and motivations of some of the Inventors who, in our opinion, didn't fail, but inspire us with their try.

These are shipping estimates. Shipping will be added after the campaign in the pledge manager. The game is being manufactured in China and then shipped to the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia for fulfillment. There's currently a bottleneck in shipping containers driving overseas shipping costs way up. We'll keep all the backers in the loop as we learn more. Thanks for understanding. We are working hard to ship you these games at the lowest possible cost!

Europe Zone 1: Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands

Europe Zone 2: Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus (South), Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland

Asia Zone 0: China, Hong Kong, Macao

Asia Zone 1:  Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam

Due to shipping fees and logistics, we are not able to ship to the following geographies at this time: Brazil, Burma (Myanmar), Cuba, Russia, Ukraine, Middle East, North Korea, Africa, South America.

VAT - Because of the new laws and changes happening in some parts of the world, VAT will be added in the pledge manager. Depending on where backers are from, we will be collecting the appropriate VAT percentage based off of the total cost of the pledge. For the EU, UK, USA, Canada, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, we plan to ship from within these zones, meaning backers shouldn't incur customs charges.

Risks and challenges

With over 6 years of growing my first card game I co-created called Not Parent Approved from a friends and family Kickstarter to becoming a best seller card game on Amazon, I understand what it takes to bring this game to market. Production of the game is simple: it's just a card game, so other than building the box it's a relatively straight forward product to make. We recognize that COVID or shipping issues cause some logistic challenges. We are committed to keeping you updated! We're keeping this as simple as possible: support our project and in return we will send you this game to help you create laughs, stress relief and good times with your people.
