A cozy crêperie game for iPad

One More Crêpe

Run a tiny crêperie on a cobbled street by the sea. Pour, flip, fold and serve a neighbourhood of regulars who know exactly what they want, even when they can't quite say it.

The game

Tante Maëlle left you the keys.

Your aunt has retired to the seaside and left you La Lanterne: one hot iron, a wooden spreader, and her recipe notebook, with half its pages "out on loan to the street".

Every morning the shutters go up and the neighbours come in with orders that are rarely plain. A retired opera prompter whispers hers like a stage cue. A nine-year-old marks you out of ten. You read the ticket, cook the crêpe by hand, and hand it over. Then you see their face.

Across the street, the grand Galette Royale is watching. Its owner, Armand, only comes in "to inspect".

At the counter, Madame Odette leans in to whisper her order: chocolate-hazelnut, folded in a triangle, golden. Galette Royale is visible through the window across the street.
Madame Odette's order, whispered. Galette Royale across the street.

  • Orders with a twist

    Guests ask in riddles, colours, prescriptions and ship's orders. Work out what they mean, or ask them again.

  • A crêpe made by hand

    Ladle, spread, watch the colour, flip, fill, fold. Every step is a touch on the glass, and every crêpe comes out a little different.

  • A street that remembers

    Feed people well and the notebook's lost pages come home. Threads unfold over days, one visit at a time.

How it plays

From batter to plate

One long worktop, five steps, no shortcuts. The guest is waiting, but nobody is shouting.

Pour & spread Flip Fill Fold Serve
The griddle station: bowls of wheat and buckwheat batter with their ladles, the hot iron with a lacy golden crêpe on it, the doneness bar above reading ready, and the heat knob set to gentle.

Pour & spread

Dip the ladle in the batter bowl and pour onto the hot iron. Then sweep the wooden spreader round in circles until the crêpe is thin and even, right to the rim.

Too hot today? Turn the knob to gentle. The crêpe cooks slower and you get more time.

A crêpe on the iron with the doneness bar in the golden zone and a banner saying ready: slide it over, while the order ticket for Fabrice waits at the top.

Flip

Watch the colour climb from pale to golden to crisp. When the bar says ready, flick the crêpe up to turn it, give the second side its moment, then slide it across to the board.

The order decides. Pale, golden or crisp. Capucine will check.

The fillings shelf: rows of tubs with spreads, fruit and toppings, some still under tea towels until they are bought at the market.

Fill

Tap a tub to take what is in it. Spread the chocolate, lay the strawberries one by one, scatter the cheese. Mind the amounts: "a little" and "plenty" are not the same thing.

The shelf grows. New fillings arrive from the evening market and the yard.

On the wooden board, a crêpe spread with chocolate-hazelnut and topped with strawberries, with arrows at the rim showing where to swipe to fold.

Fold

Swipe in from the rim. Twice for a triangle, once for a roll, four times for a square envelope, the way a galette should be.

  • Triangle
  • Roll
  • Envelope
Fabrice at the counter, eyes wide, as the finished triangle crêpe is handed over to him with a burst of yellow rays.

Serve

Drag the plate to your guest and watch them take it in. A crêpe done just right earns a tip, a kind word, and sometimes a little more of their story.

Then: "Next, please!"

The neighbourhood

Meet the regulars

They come back, they remember, and they each want their crêpe their own way.

  • Madame Odette, an elegant older woman in a lavender pillbox hat and coat, with pearls and opera glasses.

    Retired opera prompter

    “(psst) Curtain up, chérie. I am famished.”

  • Théo, a lanky bicycle courier in a teal helmet and windbreaker with a messenger bag.

    “Four minutes. Okay, five. My bike is double-parked against a pigeon.”

  • Capucine, a small girl with her hair in two puffs, in a mustard duffle coat, hugging her notebook.

    Nine years old, scores everything out of ten

    “Bonjour. I have exactly enough money and extremely high standards.”

  • Armand, a portly chef with a waxed handlebar moustache, a tall toque and a burgundy neckerchief.

Everyone's favourites are in the wiki

The evening market stall under a striped awning: Monsieur Anselme behind the counter, cards for buckwheat flour, eggs, Emmental, ham, tomatoes and spinach, and a button to open tomorrow.
The Marché du soir, where the shelf grows one filling at a time.

After closing

Count the till. Then, the market.

When the last guest has gone, the day's takings land in the till: what each crêpe earned, the tips, a note on how it went.

Then it's off to the evening market, where Monsieur Anselme sells new fillings, better tools and a few things to make the room prettier. Ham today, buckwheat flour tomorrow, and with it the first proper galettes.

  • More than forty recipes in the notebook, from La Toute Simple to La Complète
  • Thirty-five fillings, each with its own way of going on the crêpe
  • Sweet crêpes and savoury buckwheat galettes
  • Décor for the shop: string lights, a lighthouse painting, a hen for tips

Round the back

A yard of your own

Behind La Lanterne there is a small walled garden, and Mamie Hortense has opinions about it.

Plant raspberry canes, strawberries, a lemon tree and more in six raised beds. They grow in real time, even while the app is closed, so there is always something to pick in the morning.

Whatever you grow goes on a shelf of home-grown fillings. They cost the till nothing, and guests tip a little extra for them.

  • Strawberries
  • Lemons
  • Water once
  • Ornaments
The yard at dusk: six raised beds, one with a raspberry cane ready to pick, others growing or under dandelions, with a washing line, a shed and a seed crate button.

A cup of tea, a folded newspaper and a little folded crêpe on a round yellow café table.

Cozy, no pressure, play forever

Take your time. The street isn't going anywhere.

  • No game over

    A burnt crêpe is a burnt crêpe. Somebody sighs, you make another, and tomorrow the shutters go up again.

  • Short days, long life

    A day at La Lanterne is a handful of guests: easy to fit in with a cup of tea. When the first story is told, the shop stays open for as long as you like.

  • Slow and steady

    New fillings, recipes, seeds and décor arrive gradually, and there is always one more thing to try.

  • Fair and calm

    No countdowns nudging you to buy, no pop-ups that open by themselves. The story, the recipes and the guests are never for sale.

Questions

Before you ask

When does it come out?

Soon. We are putting the last coat of butter on it. One More Crêpe is coming to the App Store, and the button on this page will turn into a real link the day it does.

What do I need to play?

An iPad. The game is made for iPad and plays in landscape. The iPadOS version it needs and the iPads it supports will be listed on its App Store page at launch.

Is it on iPhone, Mac or Android?

Not for now. La Lanterne opens on iPad first.

How much will it cost?

One More Crêpe will be free to download. It has optional packs of sugar pearls, the game's treat currency, and optional adverts you can choose to watch on the pearl counter for a few pearls. Nothing plays by itself. The story, the recipes and the guests are never for sale, and everything pearls buy can also be earned by playing.

Is it suitable for children?

It's a gentle game about cooking for your neighbours, with nothing frightening in it, made to be enjoyed at any age.

Does it ever end?

The first story takes ten days on the street. After that the shop stays open: guests keep coming, the yard keeps growing and the notebook still has pages to find.

I have a question that isn't here.

The support page has more answers and a way to write to us.

The lantern goes on soon.
