Welcome to the Crowdsourcing Mornings segment! Every weekday morning, Geek Alabama talks about and features one crowdsourcing project from crowdsourcing sites such as, Indiegogo, and others. The hope with Crowdsourcing Mornings is to feature and help a project be successful and reach its fundraising goal. Please enjoy today’s featured project!

I’m Frank the Dogtopus. And my favorite game is “Detective”!
Unlike those not-so-loyal ex-friends that got chewed through and destroyed in minutes, I am designed to stay near my buddy for a while.
With me, they’ll spend up to 35 minutes untying knots, sniffing out hidden treats, and getting a rewarding workout for both mind and body. I keep pups focused, calm, and happy, while you reclaim a few peaceful moments for yourself.
Truly a win-win, right?
Detective is our fav game…
With your help, I turn from a standard octopus toy to a tangled, treat-stuffed “monster” full of yummy mysteries to solve for your pup.
I’ve got 24 treat pockets, and each one is a mini adventure with barriers, spikes, rubbery bumps, and twisty little traps.
Sniffs, chews, unties, and rewards… Every solved knot feels like a victory, fueling your 4-paw “Detective” to keep going until the case is closed.
Let me tell you a secret about your buddy’s brain: it needs 15-20 minutes of mental stimulation to equal 1 hour of physical exercise.
Most dogs are walking around with big, brilliant brains that are desperately understimulated. That’s where I come in! When I activate their natural foraging instincts — sniffing around my tentacles, problem-solving how to untie my knots, manipulating my chambers with their paws — I’m giving them what experts call “species-appropriate enrichment.”
Think of me as your dog’s personal brain trainer. I’m not just entertaining them, I’m exercising the parts of their mind that need to work.
Result? You have a calmer, more focused dog who’s less likely to channel that intelligence into redecorating your furniture and showing up in your zoom calls.
As of October 17th, this project has raised $245,000 of their $3,000 goal. This project has 11 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $49, you will get one dog toy. For a pledge of $95, you will get two dog toys. To learn more and to pledge money, go to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/866992023/frank-the-dogtopus-the-dog-toy-that-outsmarts-boredom?
