Dave & Buster's isn't the first or even the second place we think of when it comes to popping the question. But the possibility of finding a 3-carat diamond ring there is certainly an inducement.

To celebrate Valentine's Day, the restaurant and arcade chain has hidden some finger shackles worth $15,000 throughout its 156 locations nationwide. If you want to know how you can snag this ice, check out the details below.
Dave & Buster's Wants You To Play a Game
In a press release, Dave & Buster's admits in a roundabout way that it's not the most ideal place to put a ring on your partner's finger. However, the chain is hoping to change that this year.
"Valentine's Day is one of the most popular proposal days of the year, and on February 14, Dave & Buster's is inviting couples to take part in a proposal that feels bold, memorable, and entirely unexpected," the release read.
That "bold" and "unexpected" way for customers to propose would be in the restaurant's Human Crane game.
If you're unfamiliar with this viral sensation, think of it as a life-sized version of the classic claw machine. But in the game, you are the claw. Trying it starts at $20 per person, along with some of your dignity.
You are strapped into a harness and lifted above a pit full of oversized prizes. Once you're in your preferred spot, you're lowered in, allowing you to grab whatever you can get your hands on.
What Are the Chances of Getting a Ring?
There are five rings located nationwide. The math says you have a 3% chance of attending a Dave & Buster's that has one of the rings. But if you happen to snag one, you'll make quite the return on your investment. You should probably put the money you save toward the wedding ceremony of your partner's dreams.
"Dave & Buster's has always been about bringing people together for unforgettably fun moments, and date nights are no exception," said Melissa Powers, Vice President of Marketing at Dave & Buster's.
"This Valentine's Day, we're elevating that experience even further by giving couples a chance to turn date night into a proposal they'll never forget."
In the lead-up to Valentine's Day, you can also take advantage of the restaurant's $99 Date Night Duo Deal running Monday through Friday through Feb. 14. It includes two 90-minute All-You-Can-Play game cards, two entrees, an appetizer, and dessert.
