Are you short of a Valentine’s Day gift idea? And you probably also need it fast, I guess…well, fear not, because we have exactly what you need here!
It is known that Valentine’s Day brings a certain amount of apprehension, at a time when one always expects to have to give a gift to one’s partner. Of course, many “life-saving” solutions have emerged in recent years, such as packages offering romantic weekends, couple “self-gifts,” gift certificates, as well as experiential, rather than physical, gifts.
This year still many activities are precluded to us, and compulsive lockdown online shopping, in fact, makes us little in need of items. But don’t worry, we are here today to offer you an original and unexpected Valentine’s Day gift idea because if you are a little late with your gift-giving and running out of ideas, a digital gift is definitely the perfect solution to surprise your partner!
MysterU is the Valentine’s Day gift idea you’ve been waiting for!
Let’s first clarify what we are talking about: MysterU is a site that offers a choice of three different escape rooms playable entirely online! Apart from the different levels of difficulty, the mechanics of unfolding are the same: there is a case or mystery to solve, there are clues there is the entire open web waiting for you.
In fact, although you start from the MysterU platform, the investigations will take you to the Internet, like real detectives, and this will make the experience extremely realistic, so it is definitely an original Valentine’s Day gift idea to spend the evening in a fun way. Here in brief is a description of the available escape rooms, for a more comprehensive description, go to our site.
- The Cook: This is the escape room with the highest level of difficulty so it is recommended for ages 16 and up. The setting is that of a spy story where the player is called upon to be a real secret agent. Clues will be given on the digital eScape platform, but then the evidence and the rest of the traces will be scattered all over the open web. The goal is to flush out a criminal who calls himself “The Cook,” but perhaps things are not as straightforward as those who hired you have led you to believe…
- The Black Tulip: This is an intermediate-level escape room, in fact, the minimum recommended age is 14 years old and up, and the game time is also reduced. It could be a good start if you are a first-time player because it allows you to get into some game mechanics and train your reasoning. This is also an investigation and espionage story, again you are agents grappling with a mystery to solve, in this case, a colleague entrusts you with a delicate information retrieval mission and the purpose is to discover some secret identities without getting caught.
- Ghosts: This is the simplest escape room, also suitable for children ages 6 and up, so it is a Valentine’s Day gift idea for couples with children who will spend the evening with family. The theme of the adventure is Halloween, and you have to help a man prepare an antidote to chase away spirits that are endangering people’s lives.
MysterU is a Valentine’s Day gift idea suitable for everyone
This type of gift is suitable for both those who are fans of escape rooms and those who have never participated in such a game and, as we have seen, even for couples with children, who may choose to play “Ghosts.” Indeed:
- for fans, MysterU traces some of the mechanics of investigation, observation and immersion found in classic escapes.
- for first-time players, the experience itself is completely different from a classic escape, you don’t need to know how to move when you are locked in a room, there are no locks, but online surveys, so it is a new and different game. Also, the duration is up to you, meaning there is no timer, it will depend on how long it takes you to get to the bottom of the puzzle. In addition, because we are very generous, here are some tips to facilitate your approach to investigations.
A gift as well as a couple’s self-gift: MysterU is a truly versatile Valentine’s Day gift idea
Yes because, if you wish, you might even decide to give this gaming experience to yourselves together, to spend a different, adventurous and stimulating evening. The puzzles to solve will lead you to collaborate and exchange opinions and theories. And if the investigation goes on too long, you can always continue another day: in fact, all your progress will be saved in your account and you can resume the next day, the next week or months later! The convenience of this game mode is undeniable.
Well, that was our last-minute and super original Valentine’s Day gift idea! Now we are waiting for you as secret agents in love to defeat crime!
