The Adventure Challenge - Ready for the perfect date night at home?

The Adventure Challenge - Ready for the perfect date night at home?

2020 is the year that sent us all home + taught us how to appreciate what we have.

It was also the year of repeated, sometimes boring, date nights at home. Now that 2021 is here it looks like we’re in for a little more of the same. With Valentine’s day just around the corner, and still not being able to plan your typical “dinner & movie” date-night you might be scratching your head as to what to do or how to make it feel special. You might even feel like your excitement for date night has fizzled. Well, NOT ANYMORE!

Curious how to plan ANOTHER date-night-in without repeating previous memories?

Here you go:

The Adventure Challenge - Couple’s Edition is the perfect way to spice up your date nights, add some spontaneity to your relationship, enhance the romance, and make your Valentine feel special by giving them a gift that keeps giving all year long.

Inside The Adventure Challenge - Couple’s Edition book you’ll find 50 surprise scratch-off adventure dates for you and your special someone to enjoy.

With the book as your guide, you and your significant other will grow in new levels of your relationship through adventures and experiences you will never forget. The Catch? Your adventure is a mystery until you scratch off a challenge, and once you do you can’t back out! Which is so much fun.

Don’t worry though - the dates are arranged by category and the book comes with a set of “rules” and a “helpful hint” guide to help you narrow down the perfect adventure for the time, day, and budget you and your date have available.

It doesn’t matter if you’re newly dating or have been together for 10+ years like Brandon and myself, The Adventure Challenge book is the perfect gift for your Valentine.

My favorite part is that each and every “date” has a place to write up a little summary of what you did or how it went and also comes with a peel and stick space for you to include a polaroid picture of your adventure! The best part of all this? Once you’ve completed all the dates, filled out the summaries, and included pictures - you’ll be left with an awesome memory book that you can look back on for years to come!

Our Date:

For our first “adventure date”, Brandon and I poured up a glass of whiskey and sat down to really get into it. When we realized just how late at night it was when we finally got to it + just how broke we were feeling that day (hello homeownership lol) we decided to pick something that was going to be sort of ‘short and sweet’.

Using the categories we navigated our way to the “I’m Crazy About You” section and landed on date #21, “Speak my Language” and started scratching …

BOY was this date rewarding!!!

If you’re feeling nosy you can read what date #21 is above, but I suggest leaving it a mystery for you and yours. Without giving away too many spoilers, may I just say… having to take a test that prompts you and your partner to speak openly and honestly about your needs and wants is the ultimate way to zest up date night.

As mentioned, Brandon and I have been together for 10+ years, but let me tell you this date had us communicating and connecting on a level we never would typically on a normal date. Having to follow instructions and answer questions we wouldn’t usually ask made it so easy to enjoy each other’s company in a deeper and more meaningful way.

We grew so much closer this night. Now, we can’t wait for our next Adventure Date.

This Valentine’s day say “I love you” with Adventure
