Today is Valentine's Day and you are extremely excited to go on a date at this fancy restaurant. Before your partner arrives, you decide to check out the place. When you step into the restaurant, the entrance door shuts down. You are locked in! You try to ask for help, but nobody is around. What is going on here? Can you find out and escape from this restaurant to meet your date?

I played a print-and-cut version of the game. If you select to play the print-and-cut one, you need to print out the contents in color, and then you cut those printouts into small cards as the instruction tells you. Try not to read things on each card to avoid a spoiler. I loved that the lovely pictures on the cards fit perfectly with the theme and puzzles. All of them were charming and engaging.

After you create a stack of cards, you access the website mentioned on the instruction page of the printout. Then, you can start the game from the first card you are told to work on. When you get an answer, you can enter it on the game website to move on. Once you start the game, the website tracks the time you finish the game. It will give you a rating in the end.
What I loved the most about this game was that it was simple and easy to play. I appreciated the extra information and step-by-step hints for the puzzles on the game's website. All I needed was just a colored printout and a tool to connect internet like my smartphone. It was convenient to play the game anytime I wanted to play.

I enjoyed solving a variety of puzzles like word and deductive puzzles. Some require just a quick insight to solve. Some require more logical thinking. Sometimes I needed to have outside knowledge to solve, but information to solve those puzzles was listed on the website. Do not forget to check out that information. In any case, all of them were really satisfying and enjoyable to work on since each puzzle uniquely fit into Valentine's Day theme. I really enjoyed how the game progressed. It started from an introductory puzzle to more challenging ones as it went on. The use of puzzle cards got more complex and interesting toward the end. Overall, the game was delightful. When I finished it, I felt a good sense of accomplishment.
