Create a Mysterious Date

Do you want to surprise a couple you know with a fun time? Create a Mysterious date.

Firstly choose a not too long route (mine was just over 3 km and was a bit too long) and pick about 10 checkpoints on it (including the start and finish one). Then create a short and fun activity for each of them. Here are two for example :
 In this case the route passed a public drinking fountain. And the instructions called for a small water ballon fight.
 And when there is a fountain or wishing well on the way - the activity is just obvious :)

Each activity should be written and packaged on an individual paper (maybe use this tip for folding notes) and not opened before the chosen check point - that is why every note should also include the name/location of the next checkpoint.

Make sure to include everything needed - water balloons, a pen for writing wishes, 1 cent coins... and preferably pack it in with the notes they belong to. 
Pack everything in a box (or an envelope) and add a disposable camera. To make sure the photos get used up also write the number of photos that have to be made during each activity (or a the walk between two check points). 

I also included was a small scrapbook - this one is for a date the couple chooses (maybe an anniversary?) on which they should develop the film from the camera, then stick the photos into the scrapbook and write some comments/memories form it - so the box/envelope will also serve as a sort of a time capsule.

Now all you have to do is deliver it to the door, ring and run ;)

P.S. If you have any questions about the project or need more ideas for the activities let me know :)
