Valentine’s Day date reference
Plan a date with three clues
Each player secretly writes a place, a food and an activity for an imaginary evening. Partners try to guess one another’s choices before opening the envelopes. Give one point for a match and a bonus for turning two different ideas into one plan. A picnic, soup and stargazing might become a thermos dinner under the stars.
Build a duet and deliver a note
Have one partner draw the first half of a heart-shaped postcard and the other finish the scene without talking. Reveal the picture and invent a title together. For the last round, each guest encodes a three-word note using A=1 through Z=26. Swap notes, decode them and tuck the finished cards back into the envelopes as keepsakes.
