Frequently asked questions

How do budget and weather work together?

They are separate lists. Pick a budget list when money is the limit, or a weather list when the sky decides. For a sunny, free date, use the sunny list and skip the ideas that cost money.

Do the ideas cost what the list says?

The themes are only a guide. Prices differ widely by city, so check costs and opening hours before you plan around an idea.

Can I use the ideas for friends or family?

Yes. Most work for any pair or small group, and you can adjust them as you like.

Do ideas repeat?

Not within one draw. Across draws you may see the same idea again, because each list is finite.

Are bookings needed?

For the splurge ideas, usually yes. Book ahead for popular places, classes and tickets.
