Has anyone gotten this puzzle yet?

I just recently opened my tessarisis that’s why I’m curious if anyone has received this 5th puzzle or what is the status of it?

I haven't heard anything new from Andrew recently, unfortunately. The most recent communication from 2019 was that he had to raise more money for the engineering costs. I'll post back if I hear anything additional.

The last communication I had was that Andrew needed to get 200 people registered on the new game as 1/2 of that money is going towards the manufacturing costs.

Thanks for the update Mark! Is that the Prediction Time game that comes out tomorrow?

[MarkH75]

Yep, that’s the one

And here I thought I was behind everyone for just recently opening the tessarisis and thinking everyone was already playing with the 5th lol

Not much of 2020 left so maybe it will be soon?

[MarkH75]

I’ve just asked if the release is any closer so we’ll see what comes of it.

To be honest I’ve kind of resigned myself to the fact that we’ll never see the fifth

I would think legally he would have to, there are a bunch of members in the 500 club who advanced the cash to have all puzzles locked in for their collection.

[MarkH75]

I’ve had word that things are still progressing with money from the new game going towards the production of the puzzle.

Legally I think if would all boil down to the actual terms and conditions that were in place when the 500 club was “formed” and also when others not in the 500 club, including myself, placed their deposits.

I don’t think Santa will be leaving it this Xmas.

[Z3r0San1ty]

I don’t think Santa will drop it off anytime soon either, I look at it is if I’m backing a company on Kickstarter right now, I’ll get the puzzle eventually no rush on my end or demand for it lol

I'm not holding out much hope at all, and have all but written off my downpayment.

In a message from Andrew a few years back, he said he needed to raise at least $50K for the die(s) and tooling to be able to manufacture the puzzle. With VERY few updates, and no real further communication, it's rather clear that not much is really being done towards the goal of making the Penta available.
