Mission Brief

New to Print+Cut+Escape, and a first for any play at home escape game, hide a personalised message into the game to remind your friends or significant others how much they mean to you, and teach MM7 about the heart in the process! Mechanics of the Heart shows love to our planet with the fewest printed pages, while not compromising on the volume of puzzles. The timing of this new mission aligns perfectly with Valentine’s Day, but its story and how it brings you closer to those you love will stand the test of time.

Story

Mr. and Mrs. Q’s helpful and reliable reconnaissance droid, MM7, is starting to ask questions all robots inevitably ask, “What is Love?” and “How do you know you’re loved?” You’ll be tasked to help MM7 decipher the complex and puzzling ways of love in our world in order to help focus him on our daily mission to save the world from the villainous network of the Evil Professor.

Brain-straining

Great fun and a full evening of brain-strain! It's the right level of challenge without making it impossible Great fun and a full evening of brain-strain! It's the right level of challenge without making it impossible

Love wins!

Perfect amount of time given, some parts were challenging and it was great that working with our other half we could work them out. We had a lot of fun and would recommend to others.

Fun valentines experience

Very nice valentines gift. It took us about 1 hour to get through the first part and the rest of the game took us another hour. We didn't need to use clues. Overall good game.

Up to their usual standard. Mind-bending, funny puzzles. Didn't beat the 1-hour goal, but who cares?? Up to their usual standard. Mind-bending, funny puzzles. Didn't beat the 1-hour goal, but who cares??

The mechanics are fun, interesting, and require generally just the right amount of head-scratching to get through. This one was a little inconsistent, though, with some very easy and some requiring a little guesswork to interpret the clues. Nothing seemed wholly unfair but could be tweaked just a little and become a 5-star puzzle.

Perfect personalized puzzles

Puzzles were creative, not as difficult than in others, but given that most will be playing this over wine, that's probably good. They were fun. The level of personalization was higher than it has been in past CQ puzzles, which was lovely.

Valentines Fun - something different

However, it relies on quality/accuracy of home printing (and cutting!) a little more than is ideal - some puzzles we understood but couldn't see the details in the print-outs. Some puzzles we got to the answer, but still don't feel they quite make sense in concept!

Really a fun experience!

Best online escape game I played! Love that you can add personalized messages and the variety of methods and interactivity! Best online escape game I played! Love that you can add personalized messages and the variety of methods and interactivity!

Great fun for a couple

Inventive puzzles with quite a few nice options to customize the outputs for couples. Good hints as well. Inventive puzzles with quite a few nice options to customize the outputs for couples. Good hints as well.
