A quick guide to the fun

A little chance. A lot of together.

Every envelope contains an activity idea. The biggest prize is making a memory together.
Step 1

Choose the possibilities

Choose 4–24 envelopes, then hand-pick activities across Low, Medium, and High tiers, or generate a random board using your vibe, budget, and setting.
Step 2

Pick an envelope to keep

Choose a numbered envelope. Its activity stays hidden, and it cannot be eliminated while you open the others.
Step 3

Open a little mystery

Open other envelopes in rounds. Each revealed activity leaves the board. The prize list shows what is still possible, without revealing the envelope numbers.
Step 4

Deal, or keep dreaming?

Between rounds, the host offers an activity still on your board. Deal makes it your activity. No Deal keeps every surviving activity in play.
Step 5

Make the final choice

When two envelopes remain, keep yours or swap while both are closed. Then discover your winning activity and the other possibility.
Fair surprises, thoughtful prizes
Envelopes are shuffled fairly once at the start and never secretly rearranged. You decide which activities belong in the Low, Medium, and High prize tiers. Cost is shown separately with £ signs. Any activity on your board can win; random boards suggest balanced tiers you can swap before playing.
