Audio
The things you don't say in person
Record it in one take, no script, no retakes. A clumsy voice note beats a polished one every time.
Why it works
Telling them the plan takes one sentence. Finding it takes the afternoon.
"We're in Lisbon on Friday" takes five seconds to say, and that is the whole surprise spent. What you booked is just as good; the moment of telling them simply has nowhere to go.
A route through the places your story happened puts a whole afternoon in front of it. By the time the plan finally appears on screen, it arrives with three hours behind it.
The plan is the final screen
The trip, the booking, the tickets: they show up when the last step is solved, not in a WhatsApp message.
Only you could write it
The clues run on your private references. An outsider wouldn't get half of them — which is exactly the point.
The map is your history
The doorway, the bench, the bar. Every GPS pin is somewhere that means something, not a random stop.
In three steps
How to wrap the plan in a clue hunt
Choosing the places is the hard part. The editor handles the rest.
Decide what's at the end
The trip, the booking, the tickets, or simply what you want to say. That's the final screen, and the route gets written backwards from there.
Spread the steps across your places
Where you met, the first date, the usual bar. A voice note recorded there, a question that only makes sense in that spot. Six stops makes an afternoon.
Send the link and wait
No warning. The opening video explains the rules, and from there they can't stop.

An afternoon across town that finishes by showing them the tickets. Swap in your own places.
- VideoStep 1
Before you ask
Fifteen seconds straight to camera. "Don't ask anything. Leave the house and do what the phone tells you."
- GPSStep 2
Where I first saw you
The doorway, the campus gate, the end of that bar. The next clue doesn't appear until they're standing there.
- TriviaStep 3
Let's see if you remember
"What was playing in the car that day?" Four options and only one that will make them smile.
- AudioStep 4
Put your headphones on
Two minutes of talking. The things you never say out loud because saying them in person is too much. Here it isn't.
- RiddleStep 5
Recognise the photo?
A photo of one specific corner of the city. They have to tell you what happened there to move on.
- CodeStep 6
The number only two people know
The date of the first time, the old flat number, the plate on that car. Four digits.
- ShakeStep 7
Shake your phone
The last move before the screen shows what you've been hiding for three weeks.
- Final screen
We're in Lisbon on Friday
Flight at 6:30pm, three nights in Alfama, and your manager has known for a month: Friday is already off.

Clue ideas for the road to the plan
There are 13 step types. These are the ones that work when the goal is to move someone.
GPS
Going back to one exact spot
Pin the spot, not the street. Arriving at the bench where you first kissed is half the surprise.
Video
Videos you already have
That clip from five years ago nobody ever reopens. Here it plays exactly where it was filmed.
Trivia
Questions from your story
Easy, not an exam. The point is recognising the memory, not getting it right.
Date
Opens on the exact date
Set the hunt to stay locked until the anniversary, down to the hour.
Pause
A moment of quiet
Before the last clue, ask them to stop and breathe. It changes how the ending lands.
Variants
By occasion
Anniversary
One place per year, or the six moments that tell it best. Finish where it all started.
Valentine's Day
Shorter and local. Forty minutes and a reservation at the end — the date already supplies half the context.
Making up
Few clues, lots of audio. They don't need to cross the city; they need to hear you out in full.
Long distance
No GPS, more video. If you're in different countries they play it at home and the ending is a video call.
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.
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.
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.
