Don’t waffle on your decisions—your shift has just started, the coffee is getting cold, and your favorite regular has vanished without a trace!

Waffles for Esther (Second Edition) is a delightfully lighthearted, 32-page landscape-format solo journaling game of small-town mystery and cozy hijinks. Released in its updated version in 2023 by Pandion Games, this beautifully illustrated zine casts you as a dedicated diner server turned amateur sleuth. Your mission? Find Esther, your most loyal customer, who disappeared right before you could deliver her usual order: waffles with sliced strawberries, apple jam syrup, and a coffee with one sugar and a splash of milk. Built on the intuitive Hints and Hijinx system, all you need is a deck of cards, a notebook, and a set of polyhedral dice to begin your whimsical investigation.

The game’s charm lies in its low-stakes, highly creative approach to solving mysteries. Rather than uncovering a pre-written, canon solution, players visit quirky local establishments and roll on encounter tables, slowly gathering odd clues. At the end of your investigation, you will stitch these bizarre discoveries together into your own logical (or completely absurd) theory to explain Esther’s disappearance—rolling your dice to see if your hypothesis is correct. The expanded second edition features a major layout redesign, refined events, and a built-in player journal to make chronicling your coffee caper easier than ever.
