#3 Arrgh Treasure Hunt
Cheap as $10
Medium Prep
Day or arvo
Start by tea dying some paper to make a map or download the printable map pack. Here’s a step-by-step guide.
When you have your map it’s time to stash the loot (small present or picnic). Head out a few hours before the hunt begins and hide the treasure out of sight. It’s pretty important that your map guides to this spot…
When you’re on the date simply give subtle clues like ‘warmer/cooler’ rather than telling them where to go. A huge amount of the fun on this date is solving the clues and getting to the reward at the end.
#2: Garage Drive in Cinema
(she’ll never expect the popcorn!)
$10 – $20
Medium prep
Night
Time
When you arrive back home together she’ll never expect a drive in cinema to be set up in the garage! That’s when you bust out the popcorn and blankets for extra romance!
Start the night with a simple dinner out like burgers or burritos. These really fit the theme of the old school drive in cinemas. If you act like there’s nothing planned for afterwards she’ll be totally shocked as the garage door rolls up. This surprise is the highlight of the date night and makes it totally memorable!
How to set it up:
- You’ll need a table with a box on it for the TV
- Cover it with a sheet
- Set up your TV + Netflix so it can be seen from the car
- Get 2 min popcorn, cider & snacks
- Stash some blankets and pillows in the boot
- Hide the remote, lube, and bottle openers in the glove compartment
