Surprise date nights · Tri-Cities, WA

Dates should be a surprise.

You set the budget and the vibe. We plan the whole night with local Tri-Cities spots and hand you a sealed envelope: your itinerary plus prepaid gift cards for every stop. Open it when it's time to go.

Every dollar you spend goes into your date as gift card value. No planning fee, nothing taken off the top.

How it works

Three steps. A few minutes.

  1. Pick your budget and vibe

    Any amount from $50 to $1,000 for two, and one of three adventure levels.

  2. Choose a date and tell us about you

    Interests, dietary needs and any hard no's. All optional, all helpful.

  3. Get your envelope, go

    We plan it with local spots. You open the envelope on date day and follow along.

Getting your envelope: booking 7+ days out, it's free by mail (Tri-Cities addresses) or free pickup at any Ahava Coffee Roasters café (Pasco, Kennewick or Richland) on the day of your date. Less than 7 days? Rush pickup, +$10.

What your budget can look like

Example dates

Pick a budget to compare the three adventure levels for a couple's date. Every amount is gift card value for two, and it adds up to the full price.

These are just examples to show what a budget can cover. Your real date is planned from scratch around you two, with local spots that fit, so it will look different.

FAQ

Good questions.

More answers on the full FAQ, or email hello@plot-twist.site.

What's in the envelope?
Your itinerary (stops, times, addresses and dress code) plus prepaid gift cards from local Tri-Cities businesses for every stop.
Does every dollar go to our date?
Yes. Every dollar you spend goes into your date as gift card value. No planning fee, nothing taken off the top. At $1,000, every dollar goes to your date: the overnight stay we book plus gift cards for the rest. Tips, transportation and anything beyond the gift card amounts aren't included.
How far ahead should we book?
7+ days out gets you free mail delivery (Tri-Cities addresses) or free pickup at any Ahava Coffee Roasters café. Less than 7 days is rush pickup only, +$10.
Where and when is pickup?
At our pickup partner, Ahava Coffee Roasters. Choose any of its three cafés: Sandifur (Pasco), Canal (Kennewick) or Ava Way (Richland). Pickup is on the day of your date during café hours: Mon–Fri 6am–5pm, Sat 7am–5pm. The cafés are closed Sunday, so Sunday dates pick up the Saturday before.
What do the adventure levels mean?
Low-key: cozy and familiar. A little unexpected: mostly comfortable, with one or two "we've never done that" moments. Bring the twist: something new, more hands-on or active. We never plan anything on your no-go list.
What's included at $1,000?
The Overnight ($1,000 for two) includes an overnight stay somewhere nice, booked by us. Your reservation details and check-in info are in your sealed itinerary; bring ID at check-in. The rest of your budget comes as prepaid gift cards from local spots for the other stops. Tips and transportation still aren't included. Below $1,000, dates don't include an overnight stay. Double dates at $1,000 are The all-out night for four instead, with no hotel stay.
Can I get a refund or reschedule?
All sales are final, so there are no refunds, but your gift cards stay valid. If plans change (or it rains), use them another time.
Can we do a double date?
Yes. Choose "Double date (4 people)" in the planner. It's the same $50–$1,000 budget, and it covers all four of you; every dollar still goes into the date as gift card value. Double dates work best around $150 and up. At $1,000 it's The all-out night: our most extravagant date night for four. There's no hotel stay on double dates; the overnight stay is for dates for two. Tips and transportation aren't included.
Can I give it as a gift?
Yes. Turn on "It's a gift" in the planner. You pick the date, add a message and choose whether the envelope goes to you or to them. There's also a free printable card to wrap now; the sealed envelope comes later, by mail (7+ days out) or pickup on the date.

Your next date night, already planned.

Pick a budget, pick a vibe. We'll handle the rest.
