This long-distance date idea is perfect for couples who love the outdoors, photography, and scavenger hunts. A Color Hunt lets you explore your own surroundings while feeling connected to your partner through shared creativity. It works especially well for couples in very different time zones, since you can complete the hunt on your own schedule and send your photo collection via text when you’re done. This date does not require a video call, making it an easy, low-pressure way to stay connected while apart.
Instructions
Decide on the order of the colors you’ll focus on together.
For example: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink.
Choose a time frame for each color.
For example: one week, two weeks, or one month.
During the chosen time frame, take photos whenever you see something that matches the selected color.
For example, if you choose red, take photos of red things you notice in your daily life and in your own country.
When the time frame ends, send your full collection of photos to your partner via text or a messaging app.
After sharing, move on to the next color on your list (for example, orange) and repeat the process with a new time frame.
Continue until you’ve completed all the colors, then look back at your full collection and talk about your favorites.
Elevate This Date!
🎨Assign a specific theme to each color, like red foods, yellow cars, or blue skies, to make the hunt more creative.
📸 Add a challenge to each color, such as only outdoor photos, one photo per day, or no repeated objects.
🖼️ Make shared photo albums — create an album for each color so you can see all your red photos together, all your yellow photos together, and so on. It’s a fun way to track your hunt and compare your finds!
