A few useful answers
Before we
make a start.
Clear expectations make better collaborations.
Are the products shown ready to order?
The illustrations show design concepts, not verified production models. A project-specific specification, functional sample and commercial proposal are needed before an order can be considered.
Does placing a figure or card play a story?
That interaction has not been verified for a TaleChime configuration. A figurine or card can be proposed as a physical collectible; any automatic trigger, card reader or NFC function must be evaluated and demonstrated on the selected hardware.
What does “AI” mean for a custom project?
AI is a development direction, not a confirmed feature of the concepts shown. Conversation, voice recognition, content controls, supported languages, connectivity and ongoing service costs would need separate feasibility and sample validation.
Can we use our own mascot, artwork and audio?
Those are the starting materials for a custom concept. You will need the relevant rights to use characters, player images, artwork, recordings and voices. Design, editorial approval and manufacturing feasibility are reviewed for the project.
What are the price, minimum order and lead time?
There is no standard price or minimum order published here. These depend on the form, materials, content, functions, tooling, testing and quantity. They are defined in the project proposal rather than estimated by this website.
How do we start a conversation?
Use the project brief below to outline your organisation and idea. The brief builder lets you copy or download the brief. A verified TaleChime business email or WhatsApp is not configured yet, so the website does not transmit enquiries.
