An Absurdist Game for an Absurd World.
Take on the role of a cryptozoologist who has fallen madly in love with the very creature you set out to study. However, you’re not the only researcher in town who has fallen head over heels in love, and now you’ll have to compete for the affection of the cryptid of your dreams and prove you are the one worthy of its heart.
Crushing on Cryptids is a card-drafting, sentence-building game for 1-6 lovestruck cryptozoologists. Listen closely as your cryptid crush reveals its deepest desires, then draft cards and piece together the perfect response. The researcher who best captures the cryptid's tone, feelings, and desires will earn a date, uncover valuable insights, and perhaps even win a coveted Cryptid Rose.
After three rounds, only one researcher will have earned the affection of the cryptid, and all the others will end up alone, because love is hard…

Keeping the game human from start to finish was always important to us.
