Congratulations to Angella Ma for winning the Hype Tag Theme Song Contest!
Angella correctly identified 33 HT references from within the lyrics of our theme song! Her list is below!
Angella is a voracious fan of the game and has taught it to many others who've fallen in love with playing. For spotting the most references from the theme song, Angella wins a signed copy of the game. (Ok, full disclosure... Angella already has her game signed... but now she has one to give as a gift!)
Congrats also to our runners-up: Bella Piantini (31), Todd Howard (30), and Annie Rosenberg (29)! Thanks to everyone who participated.
To hear the theme song, go to our lyric video here.

Hypesters,
SUPERFANS: YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR PERSONALIZED VERSES:
If you were a "Superfan" backer (listed below), I wrote and recorded a personalized verse in the Hype Tag theme song just for you. I just want to be sure everyone has received those.
They were all sent to you on July 11th from *[email protected].
*I erroneously published that they'd be sent from [email protected] - also a legit email address btw.
SUPERFAN LIST:
Annie Rosenberg, Nathaniel Blauss, Burr & Barbara Stewart, Harlan Bruggemann, Paul Howard, Sarah Emerson, Tim Lance, Tim Van Ness, Sue Delmolino Ives, Marti Kwon, Tom Maloney, Ryan Higgins, Colin Smith.
I just want to make sure you got it! Check your spam folder if it's not showing up. Or just let me know and I will send it once again.
I hope you get a laugh or two out of it.
Best, Jesse

Here it is!! It's quite the elaborate goof, so enjoy! Shout out to Stella The Pixie for producing the track!
HAVE YOU PLAYED YET?
If you haven't played the game yet, I think I hear that recess bell ringing! Yes, life is busy, but there is fun to be had. The feedback has been amazing and the message from players is clear: It's absolutely worth your time to break it out and play!
Use the 'How-To-Play' videos available here to get yourself started.
And to those who are already enjoying the game, thanks for all of your outreach, photos, questions, and game stories! We do hope to build a community within our discord so please come share your photos and stories where everyone can enjoy and learn from one another.
We are also excited to have the game out in some local stores and are beginning the process of getting it out there in bigger and better ways.
Stay tuned!
