The Adventure Challenge Couples Edition: My Experience!

Date nights get a tad boring after doing the same few things a couple of times. But coming up with new exciting date ideas takes a lot of planning that not everyone has time for.

That's why an adventure book for couples is perfect for those who want to spice up their date nights without the headache of planning. The Adventure Challenge Couples Edition has hidden scratch-off challenges that couples can pick from based on activity requirements.

But is the couples adventure book worth it? While I won't be spoiling any of the activities in the book, I will broadly go over what I think of the book and what others have said online.

Exciting Concept: A Scratch-Off Surprise Experience!

The most unique aspect of The Adventure Challenge series is the scratch-off activities! The extra hint of mystery makes it exciting, and I'm more likely to complete each challenge and finish the book. Wouldn't want to add another half-finished journal to the shelf.

You choose mystery activities based on the "helpful hints" provided on each scratch-off. Some need to be done during the day and others in the evening. Each activity also has a price range, so you can choose based on your budget.

What are The Adventure Challenge Books?

The Adventure Challenge books are journals for those looking to spice up their life. From solo adventures to adventures in bed, these journals are perfect for creating meaningful memories.

How Does It Work?

Each book contains scratch-off adventures for couples, families, friends, or solo adventure seekers. The steps are simple:

1. Explore the journal and find a challenge that suits your budget and current interests.

2. Scratch off your mystery challenge and complete the challenge underneath. Don't forget to snap a photo!

3. Note your experiences and add a photo of you completing the challenge.

Now rinse and repeat.

My Experience: The Couples Edition

The Adventure Challenge Couples Edition book is a fun way to spend quality time with your partner while exploring new experiences. I like the mystery of not knowing the next activity and the ability to document the date in the planner and save it as a keepsake.

Add Spontaneity to Your Date Nights

Date nights require a lot of planning. On top of making the time, couples also need to choose activities they both enjoy. That can be hard for couples looking for fun date ideas beyond watching a movie.

This couples adventure book prepares ideas for you so you have one less thing to stress about. The vast range of activity options means you can keep the spontaneity of a mysterious activity while still controlling factors like budget, duration, and location.

It was fun guessing what the activities may be from the helpful hints. My boyfriend and I would sit down and decide which activity to scratch together. Choosing an activity together ensures both partners are willing to commit to the challenge.

Go on fun adventures with your partner without the extra effort of researching and planning.

Save Your Special Memories in a Keepsake

One of the primary uses of the journal is to document your experiences and memories. There's a space below each activity to note any highlights of the date you want to remember. You're also expected to take a picture during each activity and save it in the journal later.

Don't have an instant camera? Snap a photo on your phone and save it on photo album apps like Journi. While instant photos are romantic and fun, digitalizing is the best way to ensure your memories stay forever.

I do have to admit that one partner will probably be filling out the journal more than the other. But if you're the type of couple that enjoys journaling and documenting memories together, you'll enjoy this part of the experience. Add stickers and other decorations to personalize the journal even more.

Customer Reviews

Most customers online are happy with the product and enjoy the creative way to go on new adventures together. But there are a few complaints to consider before purchasing the book for yourself or loved ones:

• The date ideas aren't for every couple: Most activities in the book aren't suitable for those who prefer more outdoorsy or high-energy dates. Some even found the dates "boring and corny."
• Not every couple can plan double dates: Double dates aren't for everyone, making these challenges a bit difficult for some.
• The scratch-off didn't work well for some buyers: The creators recommend using the provided plastic scratchers or other hard plastic items like credit cards instead of metal items like coins and keys, as they often ruin the page. I personally didn't have an issue with this one. Use the right tools, and don't put too much pressure.
• The price tag is a tad steep: While the book is made of quality material and includes fun date ideas, the price point is still high for a book where you write most of the text.

It's also important to note that not everyone is down to take on a random date idea. If you're purchasing this for yourself, be sure your partner is also interested in completing the challenges with you before dropping the money.

Interested in Getting One For Yourself (or Someone Else?)

While I wouldn't get it for a first date, The Adventure Challenge Couples Edition is the perfect gift for loved ones at Christmas and Valentine's Day. It also makes for a great wedding gift and a couple heading off on a romantic getaway!

Not getting it for a couple? Luckily, The Adventure Challenge offers other books like The Adventure Challenge Family Edition and Friends Edition. You can even take your travels to the next level with the Solo Edition.

If you or the gift receiver don't already have one, you can grab one of the bundles, including an instant Polaroid camera. Not only does it enhance the challenge experience, but it's also just a great gift on its own.

Adventure Challenge: Couples Edition - Is it Worth It?

If you want to explore new levels of your relationship, this adventure challenge book will be worth it for you. It has loads of fun new activities to explore with your partner, and the extra bit of mystery it adds keeps things interesting. The large variety of activities means you'll likely be trying activities you've never tried before and getting to know your partner on a deeper level!

Couples who are more adventurous or not interested in cheesy, sappy dates might want to skip this one. I recommend grabbing one of the other challenge books instead and using it as a couple's journal. I imagine the solo and travel activities are less sappy and more adventurous.

My Experience Rating: 4.1/5
