Online Shopping Challenge
$25 budgetclosest price wins

This long-distance date idea is perfect for couples who love online shopping, friendly competition, or finding the best deals.

For this date, you and your partner will play a reverse version of The Price Is Right. Instead of guessing the price of an item, you will already have the category and budget set, and your goal is to search online to find the best item that matches it. It’s a fun long-distance date idea that tests your speed, shopping skills, creativity, and who can find the best deal first. πŸ›οΈ

  • Add a 1-minute timer for each round to make the shopping challenge more intense.
  • Make it a weird item challenge and search for the most chaotic thing you can find in each category
  • Set hard prices with cents to make it harder. For example, try to find an item that is exactly $47.83, $112.49, or $500.01.
