I wish you well with hearts aglow!

Something short and cute and sweet!

Dear backers,
Everyone at Team Snorble has been working very hard to get your Snorble® out to you as soon as possible. Our internal testing is going well, we are now dialing in the final touches on the experience to meet the high expectations we all have for our little buddy. We want your family's experience with Snorble to not just be good, but to be incredible. This means we will need to continue striving for a few more months to make sure that happens. We apologize for this delay, and really appreciate your patience as we wrap up our final production phase.

We have guaranteed since day one to amaze and delight your child and not until we have completed our process and can ensure Snorble is ready to deliver on that promise, will we ship them to all of our valued backers.

This change to our timeline means that we will begin to engage the Beta Experience group in February and then once we have received their feedback, start shipping Snorble in batches in March.

Again, we apologize for this change in our shipping schedule and hope you will continue with us on this journey. Alternatively, we will honor any refund requests. In the meantime, we plan to share some exclusive content for your child that is being created by our animation team as we bridge the gap between now and when you receive your Snorble.

Yours sincerely,
Team Snorble

Hello,
We've had a number of people ask us recently about Christmas, and so we wanted to share our answer here as well.

Unfortunately, we won’t be able to send Snorble® before the holidays, and for that we apologize. You’ve been waiting for our little buddy longer than expected, and we truly appreciate your patience.

We know how impactful our smart companion will be when you meet them, and we’re grateful for your support as we fine-tune things and work with those in the Beta Experience to receive feedback from real families. Above all else, we want to ensure the experience Snorble brings to families is magical, and that’s why we’re focused on making sure we get it right.

Although this means we won’t be able to get Snorble to Santa in time for his big day, we are sure your family will love them when they do arrive and we’re thankful to have you involved in this journey. We’ll be posting an update with more info soon, so please stay tuned!

Sincerely,
Team Snorble

Use password “LULLABOOWOOHOO” to view our testing demo.

We’re very excited about the testing that we’ve been doing prior to shipping to those in the Beta Experience, and we wanted to share a bit of it with you today!

Quality has always been a key focus when it comes to Snorble®. With that in mind, the video above involves our Chief Technology Officer, Steve Hecker, testing Snorbles remotely with our team at OLogic (key partners for Wonder Workshop Dot and Dash, Happiest Baby Snoo Crib, Star Wars Force Trainer, and more) in San Francisco. Steve and the folks at OLogic are great, but the real rock stars of the video are the snuggle of Snorbles from our factory that are being tested. A “snuggle” is what a group of Snorbles are called and soon you will be able to snuggle with your very own. 

Some of the snuggle will soon be finished testing and then sent on their way to Beta Experience backers. Very shortly after the Beta Experience, we will airlift another snuggle of Snorbles stateside versus shipping via water which would be a longer wait time. As soon as the snuggle has arrived at our fulfillment center in the United States and been dispatched to your address, you will receive a tracking number that details when they are due to arrive at your door. 

You've waited long enough, and we're sorry about that. We are excited to be taking this big step to meeting our commitment to you, and we are pulling out all the stops to ship to your family before the end of the year!

Image contains a photo of four Snorbles looking at the camera. They are sitting on a wooden table and the Snorble logo is in the bottom right-hand corner.

A whole snuggle of Snorbles. Could they be any cuter?

In the meantime, our intention is to improve transparency in our communication along the way. The video at the top helps to illustrate some of our current testing methods, and you can view it for the next 48hrs with the following password:

LULLABOOWOOHOO

We are also sourcing more visual updates from our manufacturing center to literally show Snorbles coming off the production line as soon as possible. Our team wants to see that as much as you do, and your patience has been extremely appreciated!

Above all else, we remain committed to ensuring each and every one of you receive the Snorble you ordered. We thank you again for being part of this journey and appreciate your feedback, concerns, and the smiles that'll appear on your kiddos' faces the moment their little buddy arrives.

Sincerely,
Team Snorble

Image contains an illustration of Snorble® hugging themselves on the left-hand side with an award logo for Toy Insider's Top Holiday Toy on the right-hand side.

It is with great pleasure and with even greater smiles that we can officially announce that Snorble was recently selected by the Toy Insider as a Top Holiday Toy for 2022.

Coming on the heels of our nomination for Edge Startup of the Year, our smart companion is featured in The Toy Insider’s 17th Annual Holiday Gift Guide. This year’s guide is jam-packed with an impressive selection of interactive toys, but Snorble stands ahead of the rest with our approach to learning. Based on the fundamentals of healthy habit building, social-emotional development, and education, our smart companion will win the hearts and minds of kiddos everywhere.

The sweetest momentum

This past July, Snorble featured prominently at the Toy Insider’s Sweet Suite event in New York City, where children, parents, influencers, and media raved about our little buddy (and those were just demonstration versions). We knew that this was the beginning of Snorble’s journey to homes and playrooms across the nation, but we didn’t anticipate this journey would take an exciting turn and we’d be part of their prestigious holiday guide. This is a true honor and one we humbly accept as the Toy Insider is one of the industry’s top tastemakers when it comes to play. To be recognized by this prestigious organization is the icing on the cake and our smart companion deserves every bite (if only they could eat people food!).

Our smart companion’s journey continues

We appreciate that you might ask why Snorble has not shipped having already been featured in a gift guide, but the Beta Experience process is taking longer than expected. That leads to adjusting our shipping schedule, but we still expect to be sending Snorble out to families before the end of the year.

Granted, being recognized by the Toy Insider brings us one step closer to our little buddy’s introduction to the rest of the world, but we’re still focused on ensuring our backers are the first to meet them. With that in mind, we will continue to work with our factory for production, which is still underway while the Beta Experience happens. Above are some photos taken recently by our partners to show just some of the many parts that go into making our little buddy. Of course, in Snorble’s case, the sum is truly greater than the parts and we’re excited to be getting closer to you seeing that for yourself.

Sincerely,
Team Snorble
