Holiday Hijinks #4: The Cupid Crisis

About this board game

Holiday Hijinks #4: The Cupid Crisis is an escape room-style mystery game for 1–4 players that takes about 60 minutes to solve. In just 18 cards, your group must unravel a Valentine’s Day mystery before a romantic evening becomes a disastrous night.

You arrive at the most exclusive restaurant in town, expecting an unforgettable date. Instead, your date is missing, the restaurant is eerily empty, the staff has disappeared, and the door slams shut behind you. With romance taking a backseat, investigate the situation and work together to find a way forward.

The puzzles may challenge your perception, wordplay, and lateral thinking. English language fluency is required, and the game is rated 3 out of 3 in difficulty, making it a demanding puzzle experience for groups ready to put their problem-solving skills to work.

• Escape room-style play in a compact 18-card format
• Companion website compatible with smartphones and computers
• Graduated hints to help you progress without revealing too much
• Non-destructible materials that do not require writing on the cards

When you solve a puzzle, enter the answer on the companion website. If it is correct, the site directs you to the next card or cards; if you get stuck, its hint system offers progressively more help.

The Cupid Crisis cannot be replayed by the same group, but the non-destructible system means you can pass it on for another group to enjoy. Released in 2022, it delivers a focused, self-contained mystery for players who enjoy collaborative puzzles and escape room-style challenges.
