Pull out the board games, order some food, and settle in for an evening of friendly competition. Works brilliantly for any group size — from intense two-player strategy games to chaotic party games for a crowd.
Tips to make it great
- 1
Match the game to the group: Catan for strategy lovers, Codenames for mixed crowds.
- 2
Keep snacks on a side table so the main table stays clear.
- 3
Set a soft time limit if someone always plays slowly.

Cook a New Recipe Together
Pick a recipe neither of you has made before, buy the ingredients, and cook it from scratch. The process is as good as the meal — dividing tasks, figuring things out, making it work. And you eat well at the end of it.
Make Sushi at Home
Buy a sushi kit, pick up fresh fish and vegetables, and spend an evening rolling your own sushi at the kitchen table. It's messier than a restaurant but far more fun. The imperfect rolls taste just as good.
Brunch Crawl
Rather than committing to one brunch spot, pick 2–3 cafés in the same neighbourhood and order just one or two things at each. You cover more ground, try more things, and turn a single meal into a whole morning out.
