A voice note at every stop
This is what works. Your voice in the exact place beats anything you could write down.
Why it works
The question takes five seconds. What comes before is the story.
Everyone remembers where they were asked. Almost nobody remembers the three hours before — because there weren't three hours before.
A route that walks back through your history first means the question lands with all of it behind it. And it quietly solves the problem of getting them to the right place without suspicion.
The question is the final screen
Everything before it exists to get there. Until they solve the last step they have no idea what is happening.
It walks them there for you
The hunt does the guiding. All you have to do is be at the final spot by the time you've worked out.
There's room for everyone
Friends and family can record their piece, or be hiding at the last stop.
In three steps
How to plan the proposal
The place and the time come first; everything else is timed backwards from them.
Fix the place and the hour
The final spot comes first. Pick five to seven stops before it and walk them yourself with the hunt open — that's how you know when they'll arrive.
Record what you want to say
The voice notes carry the most weight. One per stop, short, unscripted. It shows when they're read out.
Password it and share it that day
So curiosity can't open it early. Send the link in the morning and the password when it's time to start.
Full example
A proposal route, stop by stop
Three hours of an afternoon ending with everyone hiding and the question.
- PauseStep 1
Before you start, stop a second
A screen asking them to sit down and breathe. It's warning them that this isn't an ordinary game.
- VideoStep 2
You're going to walk a while today
Thirty seconds recorded by you. You explain nothing — just tell them to follow the phone and trust it.
- GPSStep 3
Where I first saw you
The opening stop. The next clue won't appear until they're standing there.
- AudioStep 4
What I thought that day
Two minutes on what went through your head the first time you saw them, heard in the exact spot.
- RiddleStep 5
The answer only you know
A question about the two of you that nobody else could answer. It proves you wrote this yourself.
- GPSStep 6
The last stop
The place you both chose years ago without knowing it. Their parents, your friends and a camera are already there.
- ShakeStep 7
Shake your phone
They do it looking at the screen. When they look up, you're already down on one knee.
- Final screen
Will you marry me?
I've been planning this since last summer. Everyone you can see arrived half an hour ago and has kept quiet all day.

Ideas for a proposal hunt
There are 13 step types. These are the ones that can carry a moment this size.
GPS
Guiding without going with them
The hunt walks them to the final spot on their own while you finish setting it up.
Video
Messages from family
Their parents, their siblings, the old friends. Filmed in secret and spread along the route.
Pause
Silence before the ending
A screen that only asks them to breathe. It's what separates a nice route from one they'll retell.
Date
Locked until the exact hour
Set the start so it can't be opened early, however curious they get.
Riddle
Questions from your history
Not to make it hard — so that every answer shows how long you've been planning this.
Variants
Ways to run it
Across the city
Five or six stops on foot, two to three hours. The most common shape and the best at building tension.
On a trip
The route plays out at the destination. Each stop is somewhere new, and the question comes on the last day.
At home, small
No GPS, about an hour. Videos, voice notes and a final step in the living room with family waiting in the kitchen.
With the family in it
Every stop carries a video from someone close. By the final stop they're all standing there.
Reviews
What users are saying
I'm not great with technology but my daughter helped me set it up to surprise my wife on our 25th anniversary. Easier than I thought. She was very moved. I don't usually write reviews but this deserves it.
Our story in 10 steps so our children could understand how their mother and I met. There are things we had never told. It was a very special afternoon. My 9-year-old son asked if he could make one for his grandmother.
I set it up for my boyfriend's birthday with 8 steps through the places where we've shared memories. It took me an afternoon, and he still talks about it. The GPS step that took him to the restaurant of our first date was the perfect ending.
Public or private. That is the whole decision.

Progress is saved: reopening the link on the same phone picks up where they left off. Still, put a power bank in your pocket.
Got the ring?
Then what's missing is the road to the question. Start from the final spot and the five stops fall into place.
