Questions, answered
Is the date night idea generator free?
Yes, completely. Spin as often as you like and save favourites; nothing to sign up for.
How do we decide what to do on date night?
Narrow it down by size (a quick weeknight date or a big one) and by setting (at home or going out), then spin. Or let your partner decide by turning your favourites into a game where they pick an envelope.
Are these ideas good for at-home dates?
Plenty are. Set "Where" to "At home" for movie nights, cook-offs, blanket forts, spa nights and more.
How many ideas are there?
199, sorted into four tiers: Sweet, Lovely, Dreamy and Perfect. They're all listed below.
