30 secret missions for couples

A secret mission is a tiny surprise with a twist: you complete it quietly, then find out whether your partner noticed. It turns an ordinary day into a game you’re both playing.

How to play

  1. You each choose a mission for the next 24 hours and keep it to yourself.
  2. Complete it without announcing it.
  3. When you’re done, tell your partner what your mission was and see if they noticed.
