You just made last minute reservation plans for a romantic dinner only to find out you're in for a more puzzling experience.

The Cupid Crisis, title #4 in the Holiday Hijinks line, is an escape room style game in just 18 cards! As a group, you will solve a series of puzzles to unravel a mystery.

When you have solved a puzzle, you will enter the answer into the companion web app (compatible with all smart phones and computers) and it will check whether you are correct. If you are, the app will tell you which card or cards to take next.

The app also contains a graduated hint system, so if you get stuck you can get just a small hint about the current puzzle to get moving again without giving too much away.

Puzzles may test your perception, wordplay, and lateral thinking. English language fluency is required. Knowledge of traditional American national symbols is helpful, but that information is also provided in the app if you need it.

Most groups take about an hour to solve the game. You can write on the cards to help solve puzzles, but this is not required (or you could use penny sleeves) and the game is otherwise non-destructable. So while you can't play again yourself, you could give the used game to someone else to play.

    Julian ★★★★★

    We played The Cupid Crisis on Valentine's after our dinner reservation fell through, and it totally saved the night. The puzzles are clever without being frustrating, and it took us about an hour to work through.

    Ruby ★★★☆☆

    We played it with another couple and finished the escape-room style puzzles in about an hour, which felt short for the price. The romantic dinner theme is cute, but a couple of the clues were vague enough that we needed hints. Decent for a date night, just not one we'll replay.

    Evelyn ★★★☆☆

    The puzzle cards are cleverly written, but the setup took longer than expected and the scenario felt a bit thin once we got going. Decent for a one-time date night, though I doubt we'll open it again.
