Tokyo to Toronto: the time difference

Toronto is about 14 hours behind Tokyo, so 8 pm in Toronto is roughly 10 am in Tokyo. The gap shifts by an hour for part of the year when the clocks change.

With so many hours between you, spontaneous calls are rare. Schedule the reveal for a weekend morning on one side and an evening on the other.

What a parcel across the border costs you

A parcel from Tokyo to Toronto crosses a border, so allow one to three weeks and check customs rules for food, liquids and anything with a battery. A digital gift has none of that.

Buying for your crush

When you are not yet together, humour and thoughtfulness beat grand gestures. A small gift tied to something they mentioned shows you listened.

Make it easy for them to say thank you without having to say more.

If you left it late

Valentine’s Day is the busiest day for flowers and restaurants, so book now. Gift cards, flowers and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.

Restaurants and flowers sell out around the 14th, so book a week ahead if you can. A home dinner with a good playlist is a real alternative.

Opening it together on a call

Send the link, agree a time that works in both cities and open the game on a video call. You can read the quiz questions aloud while they play, or share your screen and watch.

The final level you can play today is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan; a final level in New York or Tokyo is coming soon.
