Date Night Price Challenge: Plan a Dinner, a Getaway and a Final Bundle
11 original rounds and separate host/player sheets
By the Right Price team
Choose dinner, getaway or home-item bundles for two couples. Eleven rounds include eight individual items and three worked finales; two people can instead use the separate cooperative paper variation.
Playable kit and host resources
Price basis: supplied dollar amounts are fictional practice prices in USD, before tax and shipping. No current retailer quote is claimed. Bible cards use the named count units instead.
Two couples or two people
For four players, form two couple teams or mix pairs by agreement. Use one written guess per team, then rotate the writer after each reveal. Choose dinner, getaway or home-item cards without sharing real savings, income or personal spending.
For two people, this is an optional cooperative paper variant: agree on one estimate, then see how close it is to the fictional card. Aim to improve your combined total absolute error over 5 cards; there is no opponent or native two-person mode being promised. With guesses $25, $14, $40 against $28, $12, $44, the combined error is $3+$2+$4=$9.
- 0–3 minutes: choose a theme and agree closest-overall paper scoring.
- 3–15 minutes: play 8 items at a relaxed pace.
- 15–18 minutes: choose the dinner, getaway or home-item finale.
- 18–20 minutes: share the win for tied totals or discuss the most surprising assumption.

For ordinary paper rounds, announce closest overall, one point per item and two for a bundle before starting; share equal-distance points and allow joint overall winners. Where this guide gives a different scoring exercise, follow that section instead. These are external house rules. Right Price pricing questions default to closest without going over; keep optional paper scores separate from the app leaderboard.
