Aditi just turned 23. This site will not let her in like a normal site. She has to earn the cake.
hint: it starts with A and ends with birthday girl.
trial 01 — breath control
Blow out the candles.
Real fire, real stakes. Press and hold on each candle to blow it out — watch it flutter, smoke, and give up. Each one hides a word.

Cake Catch.
A strawberry storm hit Aditi's cake! Slide the plate (mouse / touch / ← →) and catch 23 treats. Golden cherries = 3 pts. Burnt cupcakes = ouch (3 oopsies max).
trial 03 — tower of love
Gift Stack.
Tap / click / Space to drop each swinging present. Stack 8 gifts sky-high. 3 misses allowed — the tower wobbles, but love persists.

Dear Aditi,
Twenty-three looks good on you. Not the “figured it all out” kind of good — the better kind. The becoming kind.
You’re the friend who remembers the small stuff, who hypes like it’s a full-time job, who can turn a normal Tuesday into a story we’ll retell for years.
This year, I wish you rooms that light up when you walk in (they already do), work that excites you, rest that actually rests you, and people who love you as loudly as you love them.
Eat the cake. Make the wish. Take the trip. Text back late if you must — you’re 23, you’re allowed.
— with love, Rish
