That's how I read it as well.
I think it's too ambiguous!!

David (the designer of these puzzles) posted about them on the Twisty Puzzles Forum. I sent him a link to this thread here.

What the heck, why not. Just backed him. Seems like a really cool idea and it would be great to have another guy on the scene that of this high quality. :D

Wow! Quick response!

David added our question to the FAQs at the bottom of the page spelling out specifically that the discount is very sizable.

Well, me being the sucker for metal puzzles, I have just made my pledge. Now left only 2 rewards.

I read it as GBP94 gets you the puzzle, which otherwise you would have to buy at retail price of GBP149 later (if the project funding is successful)....

That £94 you pledge is to help set up the company. You then get to buy the limited edition puzzle that only pledgers can purchase. OH and the discount price as mentioned.

I cant see you getting the puzzle out of it though. With them having to honour a maze to every person that pledged £94 upwards that would defeat the object of raising the money in the 1st place as they would not have nearly that amount left after producing that many 'pledger mazes'

I really can't get over how much this looks like the Crypteks USB Stick I backed on Kickstarter almost a year and a half ago. I still backed it.

Just to clarify. If I back this project, nothing comes off my credit card unless the goal is reached right? Has anyone ever backed anything on kickstart and had any problems?

I've backed a few things and never had any issues. And yes, nothing is charged unless the project is successful.
