Story

Ten days, a notebook and a rival across the street.

A bundle of old letters and postcards tied with string

The premise

Tante Maëlle's crêperie on Rue des Hirondelles is yours now. Under the till: her recipe notebook. Half the pages have been torn out. Across the street, someone at Galette Royale is watching through the blinds.

Tante Maëlle has retired to Penmarc'h and left you La Lanterne and her recipe notebook. Guests bring pages back as you feed them. Across the street, Armand of Galette Royale is not pleased.

The first ten days

Each of the first 10 days has its own card, a guest who always comes in, and something that happens at the counter. A few times somebody asks you a question, and your answer changes a later day.

Spoiler Day 1

The keys to La Lanterne

Tante Maëlle's crêperie on Rue des Hirondelles is yours now. Under the till: her recipe notebook. Half the pages have been torn out. Across the street, someone at Galette Royale is watching through the blinds.

Spoiler Day 2

Word gets around

A chalk heart has appeared on your shutter. Capucine denies everything. Bastien says there is post for you. He has read it, 'only to check the address'.

Spoiler Day 3

A visitor from across the street

Armand of Galette Royale has run out of excuses not to come in. He says it is an inspection. He has brought his own napkin.

Spoiler Day 4

Market day

The Thursday market fills the street. Monsieur Anselme is shouting about mushrooms. Armand's apprentice, Lison, keeps looking at your menu over her shopping.

  • Market day: two more guests, and all of them 10% less patient.
Spoiler Day 5

Rain on the lantern

A grey morning. Galette Royale's lights are off. Armand is standing under your awning, 'by coincidence'.

Spoiler Day 6

Apprentice wanted

Galette Royale has a card in the window: 'APPRENTICE WANTED. MUST COUNT IN LATIN.' Capucine's guide to the street goes to print today. The back cover is still blank.

  • First guest: Armand.
  • Gift: 2 pearls.
Spoiler Day 7

Armand's little cards

All morning Armand has stood on the corner handing out cards: 'Something interesting to order at La Lanterne'. He has excellent handwriting. Today, everybody wants the hard one.

  • First guest: Théo.
  • Armand's cards: every guest orders something hard, at 0,50 € more. Tips +25%.
  • Gift: 1 pearl.
Spoiler Day 8

A parcel from Penmarc'h

Bunting is going up for Wednesday's Fête de la Crêpe. So is Armand's blood pressure. Bastien is carrying something flat in brown paper, very carefully, upside down.

If you answered one way (quote bold): Your quote on the guide: two more guests, come to see if it is true. A little less patient.

If you answered one way (quote gentle): Your quote on the guide: nobody is in a hurry. Guests wait 20% longer, tips +20%.

Spoiler Day 9

The night before

Rain on the bunting. The fête is tomorrow, wet or dry. A light is on in Galette Royale: one man, one griddle, no apprentice.

  • First guest: Mamie Hortense.
  • Rain: one guest fewer and short tempers, but those who come tip 40% more.
Spoiler Day 10

La Fête de la Crêpe

An accordion, bunting, and the whole street out with a plate in its hand. Two griddles smoke on Rue des Hirondelles today. Yours is the one with the lantern.

If you answered one way (shared stall): The fête, side by side: three more guests, and Armand feeds the queue. Guests wait 35% longer. Tips +25%.

If you answered one way (lent rozell): The fête: three more guests in a good mood. Armand is sending his your way: tips +50%.

After the first ten days

The calendar takes over: seasons, festival days with cards of their own, a theme for every week and a request every day. The guests' own threads carry on at their own pace.
