Date Idea Generator
Get random date ideas — at home, outdoors, food, culture, free or cheap, or adventurous — for a first date or a couple’s night.
About this tool
Stuck on what to do for date night? Draw random ideas from 72 original date ideas in six categories: at home, outdoors, food and drink, culture and entertainment, free or cheap, and adventurous. Pick a category or mix them all and get up to 12 ideas without repeats — from cooking a three-course dinner together to a ferry trip to an island.
Frequently asked questions
72 ideas, 12 in each of six categories: at home (a blanket fort film night), outdoors (stargazing with hot chocolate), food and drink (a cuisine neither of you has tried), culture and entertainment (a quiz night), free or cheap (watching the sunrise) and adventurous (an escape room).
Something short, in a public place and with a natural topic to talk about works well — a café, a walk, a museum or a quiz night. Choose the culture or food category for first-date ideas, and save the at-home ideas for when you know each other better.
Yes. The free or cheap category has 12 ideas such as watching the sunrise, making playlists for each other, a game night with a deck of cards, a free concert or a volunteer shift together. Many of the outdoor ideas cost nothing either.
Not within one draw — each click gives up to 12 different ideas. A new click starts a fresh draw. Tip: generate three ideas and let your date choose one, or take turns picking a category.
