Exciting developments for our Patrons! (Patreon)

We're very excited to tell you about some changes that we think you'll enjoy as Patrons of Cracking The Cryptic on Patreon!

Very shortly, all Patrons (irrespective of Tier) will receive an exclusive Cracking The Cryptic puzzle each month they subscribe.  So, for as little as $2 per month, you'll get access to that month's puzzle!

Then for any Patrons at the higher tiers ($3 per month or more), you'll also get access to an exclusive Cracking The Cryptic video explaining how to solve that month's puzzle!!  

We've also introduced a new Tier that we anticipate will only be of interest to our most dedicated fans.  At the moment, try as we might, it is impossible to do videos on all the puzzle requests we get.  However some viewers have asked us to consider whether we could introduce some sort of "service" where we guarantee we'll make a video for you of the puzzle of your choice.  It is these viewers that our new Tier is aimed at.  It is a very expensive option and we hope you'll understand why:  each video takes us literally hours to produce in terms of solving/editing/uploading/etc.   Any Patron who takes up this top tier option will be entitled to send us a puzzle and we will make a video on how to solve it.  (In the unlikely event the puzzle is unsolvable by us or completely unsuitable for a video for some reason (most likely technology limitations in terms of video demonstration) we reserve the right to ask you to submit an alternative puzzle.)  We have decided we can offer a maximum of 10 of these top tier Patronages in any one month.

I hope all our Patrons agree these are positive developments and thank you all once again for supporting us.
