Married Couples
50 scratch-off cards that lead you on shared adventures and guide you through meaningful conversations, for newlyweds and seasoned couples alike.
- 50 adventures, from a slow dance in the kitchen to a night away
- Questions tied to what you’re actually doing, not random prompts
- A prompt to say the thing that usually goes unsaid
- Icons show the cost, the time and how much planning it takes
Dinner. Phones. Same restaurant.
There’s nothing wrong with your marriage. There’s something wrong with your date night.
You go to the place you always go, you talk about the calendar, and you’re home by nine. It isn’t that you have nothing to say to each other. It’s that the same table every time doesn’t give you anything new to talk about.
There’s nothing wrong with your marriage…
Not another corny date night idea
Remember first-date nerves?
The front gets you out the door. The back gets you talking.
Scratch the front
You don’t know what you’re doing until you do, and nobody has to be the one who planned it. Icons show the price, time of day, how long it takes, and whether you’re staying home or heading out.
Flip it over
Two questions tied to what you’re doing, a Say It Out Loud prompt for the thing that usually goes unsaid, and one way to save the moment.
Say it out loud
“Name one thing that made you fall for the other in the first place.”
“Name one thing you’re proud to tell other people about the other.”
“Each name one dream of the other’s you want to help come true.”
Not another corny date night idea.
The adventure isn’t a bonus on top of the conversation. It’s what makes the conversation possible.

| When it’s over, nothing’s left | You end up with photos, letters and a year you can point at |

Questions
How is this different from your bucket lists?
Our bucket lists are built around a place: your state or your city. Adventure Bound is built around a relationship. The adventures work anywhere, and every card carries the conversation on the back.
We’ve been married a long time. Is this for us?
Especially for you. Newly married or fifty years in, it works the same way. A good chunk of the deck is about noticing who your person has become lately.
Is this going to be cheesy?
We worked hard to make sure it isn’t. No corny prompts, no forced vulnerability, no scripts to read aloud. Just a real thing to go do and a couple of questions worth answering while you do it.
Is it a good gift?
It’s one of the best we make. Anniversaries, weddings, Christmas, or for the couple who already owns everything.
A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDERS
Adventure is how we stay close
We met a marriage counselor who wrote her thesis on how adventure creates intimacy, and it’s true. Our best memories and deepest conversations happen while we’re out doing something together, from big trips to late-night donut runs. We’re over corny date ideas that feel like homework. Adventure Bound pairs a little adventure with a conversation that actually goes somewhere.
