Description provided by Tabletop Bellhop on YouTube:

Looking for something to do with your partner for Valentines Day? How about a card driven escape room in a box in the form of The Cupid Crisis, the fourth Holiday Hijinks game from Grand Gamers Guild. This review is one segment of episode 228 of The Tabletop Bellhop Gaming Podcast, Date Night Gaming, watch it here: https://youtu.be/Ur0OAYf295k Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/tabletopbellhop?sub_confirmation=1 Please consider tipping your Bellhop: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopbellhop Disclosure: Thanks to Grand Gamers Guild for providing a review copy of this game and for being a sponsor of the Tabletop Bellhop Gaming Podcast. When shopping Grand Gamers Guild be sure to use our code BELLHOP to get 10% off. ******************** Timestamps: 00:00 WHAT IS THE CUPID CRISIS 01:22 THE CUPID CRISIS COMPONENT QUALITY 01:57 HOW DO YOU PLAY THE CUPID CRISIS? 03:12 THOUGHTS ON THE CUPID CRISIS AT TWO PLAYERS 06:44 WHO SHOULD PICK UP THE CUPID CRISIS? 07:33 WHERE TO GET THE CUPID CRISIS AND DISCOUNT CODE ******************** From the publisher: It's Valentine's Day, and your much-anticipated date has met with an unexpected heartbreak. Can you set things right in time for a lovely evening together? This game is an 18-card escape room experience for 1 or more players, and takes about 60 minutes to solve cooperatively. When you have solved a puzzle, you will enter the answer into the companion web app (compatible with all smart phones and computers) and 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. 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-destructible. So while you can’t play again yourself, you could give the used game to someone else to play. ******************** Head over to the Tabletop Bellhop blog where you'll find more tabletop gaming content, including game and game night advice, reviews, and more: https://tabletopbellhop.com Sign up for our newsletter: https://newsletter.tabletopbellhop.com Pick up the Cupid Crisis direct from Grand Gamers Guild: https://grandgamersguild.com/products/the-cupid-crisis Be sure to use BELLHOP to save 10% off.

About Holiday Hijinks #4: The Cupid Crisis, from BoardGameGeek:

Your nerves are already frayed-it's Valentine's Day, and the pressure is on. Determined to make this day unforgettable, you've booked a table at the most exclusive restaurant in town, the perfect spot for a night of romance. But when you arrive, something's not right. Your date is nowhere to be seen, the place is eerily empty, and the staff is missing. Just as panic starts to creep in, the door slams shut and locks behind you. What is happening? Romance takes a backseat as you scramble to unravel the mystery before the night goes from dreamy to downright disastrous! 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. Puzzles may test your perception, wordplay, and lateral thinking. English language fluency is required. When you have solved a puzzle on the cards, you will enter the answer into the companion website (compatible with all smartphones and computers) and it will check whether you are correct. If you are, the website will tell you which card or cards to take next. The website 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. This system is non-destructible: some groups may choose to write on cards, but this is not required. A group cannot re-play the game but can pass it on to another group for their use. This entry in the series takes about an hour to solve and is rated 3 out of 3 in difficulty.
