I tried my best to make a great bundle, with great titles. I consulted community people for hints and how to make bundles great.
So I'll reveal two games out of the five.
I Can't Escape Darkness and Sonya The Great Adventure.
There is a $0 tier with concept art (similar to Biller1) and a Noah T album
There is a $3 tier with Sonya: The Great Adventure + 3 other games + royalty free album
There is a $4.5 tier with I Can't Escape Darkness + $1 Golden Chatbot Coin
The top contributor prizes are Ballistic Overkill steam keys, courtesy of the fine folks at Aquiris Studios.
And a japanese box with handpicked candy by Miller.

I believe all are unbundled, but I'll double-check right now to have a definitive 100% certain say.
Maybe you can consider I Can't Escape Darkness a rebundle? As it was in a flash sale for $3.00?
Otherwise, EnhancedSteam (IsThereAnyDeal feature) shows no rebundles.

$2.75 pre-order includes all tiers.
As for the remaining games, I'll announce some hints soon.


Thanks to luckz for providing the poll answers!

I'll donate to these Vietnamese children all night! Premium premiere preorder preordered preorderishly!
Uhm, I like children, but can I have some hints first?
I'm on the fence! Someone call the fire brigade, s'il vous plaît.
Is it a bird, is it a plane, is it a BeMine? No, it's not a BeMine :(
I find this a tad expensive.
I bought post-preorder.
All the hints have been revealed, the games are known, and I'm just not gonna buy it.
I somehow managed to obtain all of these games already.
Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnope. Billerica, more like won't-get-my-money-erica.

I already own <insert later> of these titles, hence I will <insert later>
What an <insert later> bundle though, a true magnum opus of BillericaBundlingBrazil.jp

Most likely yes. I wonder if we get the soundtrack for I Can't Escape. For some reason, I'm starting to feel annoyed by games where they want to sell the music separately. Reminds me of DLC quest.

Edit: Buying for SmuggleCraft. Looks like a less pretentious No Man's Sky

If you buy Groupees bundles often, I think it might be worth to preorder it since it includes a $1 coin that you can later use for puchasing other bundles.
Groupees let me down with quite a lot of bundles lately, but I'm rather excited about this one.

Indeed, the coin is definitelly one of the deciding factors :)

Not really.
All I keep thinking is that I'm gonna waste 2,75$ now and later I'll have to spend more money [because no bundle cost 1$ ever at groupees] to get enough to buy another yet disappointing bundle.

Haha :D Well I would use the coin on one of those Build a Bundles that offer 2 games for (usually) $1 :) Obviously wouldn't want to grab it just for the coin, though. The HOG is nice and ICE: Darkness looks like it might be something I'd enjoy, but then SmuggleCraft got confirmed and it doesn't interest me at all O.o
Why is everything so difficult lol :D

To be honest, I think I have reservations about groupees.
I absolutely do not agree that they make only mixed bundles. You end up with a lot of crap you don't want, the bundles are not exactly cheap and pre-order is always a gamble. I might be bias towards them. I always feel like it's a waste of money.

Hum... I already own the HOG and I'm not very optimistic about groupees.
Gonna wait for the hints. Would buy only if at least one of the other games is a game I really, really want.

People in chat seem to think Smugglecraft is in it given one hint was a racing game costing $15 and on my wishlist (and this is the only thing matching both those things).

(note: I also have Table Top Racing World Tour but that wasnt on my wishlist until after the hint)

Both revealed games look nice - especially a HOG - bundlers finally got the point that if you include a HOG or two, you're going to see increased sales... Preordered :-)

Where are the BeMines that's my only question and my only target. No BeMines, no buys. Also I start thinking to make a refund claim on Paypal because 8/10 are missing and it has been now 6 months since it was announced.

It'll be 6 months in about 3 weeks or so (if you go by the anniversary date). Note that the deadline to file a claim on PayPal is normally 180 days if I recall correctly.

edit: see the PayPal support article here

Checked my eligibility for refund claim and it said August 14th by the latest, so I guess I will just wait for two more weeks and if there won't be any new info on BeMines during that time, I'll just open a dispute. Then 20 days time to either answer me about BeMines or I'll just escalate it to a claim. No answers about BeMines on Groupees.

Last time I checked last week one of the admin said something like "Stop asking every day the same question, it's not going to help your cause." And last time I asked before that was 2 months ago, so I start to smell my money burning here. Maybe they're preparing to file a bankruptcy.

Well I am not in your shoes but if they are acutely aware of this deadline then personally I would be wary of them simply feeding people what they want to hear or just dumping a Be Mine out there merely for the sake of assuaging people's doubts -- which in and of itself doesn't necessarily mean that in the end that they they will deliver on what was promised what they sold you.

Which I am sorry to say is a bullshit unprofessional response to a perfectly legitimate question. I understand that they probably get asked the question a lot, but if you sell someone a subscription for 10 specific bundles to appear within a 12-month span and then more than 5 months in have delivered only 2 of those (and only one within the last 4+ months), then they would be well within their rights to ask just what the hell are you doing and where is the product that you sold them? Furthermore, why should they have any faith that you will deliver the bundles on a back-loaded last 6 months or even if you did, that they would yield a decent quality product that is expected of what is regarded as the flagship bundle? Frankly, to be perfectly honest I wouldn't miss them one bit if they closed up shop. It would be their own doing and a result of their own poor choices.

same here, especially at the pre-order price. It doesn't worth the price imho. Maybe they should not include $1 coin since coins are almost totally useless and they can lower the preorder price in this way.

I like I Can't Escape Darkness but the cynic in me thinks it's just another trap for whatever else is in it. Will wait for a re-bundle from a more reputable site.

It's been a while since I got a Groupees bundle so I have a few questions. Can you use a coin on a pre-order? Also do new coins still go up in value like coins always used to? Or will the $1 coin stay $1?

1) No
2) no unless it states that it is a fluctuating value coin (uncommon)
3) and yes

Coins can not be used for pre-order. If coins go up depends on the type of coin, the coin in this bundle stays at $1.

Use it if you find a bundle that allows payment in Groupees coins (they're scarce nowadays). marcd2k18 commented below that he's going to use the coin to buy a few games from another bundle (Libredia summer sale would be my guess).

Forget about using coins on Dynamite comic bundles, or good music bundles (⊙︿⊙)
