A traditional date night usually involves going to a movie theatre or sitting down for a quiet meal, perhaps at a local pub. However, some people want more exciting backdrops for their romantic encounters. They don’t want to feel like they’re just “going through the motions.” There needs to be some thrill involved.

If you’re the sort of person who loves adventure (and your partner does too), check out these date night tips. They’ll spice up your love life like nothing else, keeping both you and your lover on your toes.

Set your own romantic challenge

Sitting down and talking on a date night can be a little dull. However, when you set your own date night challenge, you can make it way more interesting.

For instance, try:

• Daring each other to complete fun challenges, such as telling a joke to a stranger
• Asking for a bespoke cocktail made of your partner’s favourite ingredients
• Challenging each other to see who can take on THE CUBE Live and win at Urban Playground.

Wine and dine in style

Some relationship experts believe that the biggest service you can do for your partner is to wine and dine them. It promotes well-being and good vibes.

For instance, why don’t you both head on down to Urban Playground and check out the incredible food and drinks options available?

Take THE BUTCHER, for instance, our eatery where the name says it all. Here you and your partner can sit down to the ultimate burger experience, made from the freshest cuts of meats, prepared with quality herbs and spices, all topped off with a range of magical, delightful sauces.

After dining, you can hit one of our many bars, offering everything from liquors to cocktails. There’s something for everyone.

Play a game

Those looking for even more adventure should visit THE CUBE at Urban Playground, where contestants take on seemingly impossible tasks, all against the clock. It’s adrenaline-pumping, ultra-competitive stuff that’s bound to break the ice between you and your date.

Get your body moving

Most dates tend to involve sedentary activities. But if you think about how the majority of humanity lived before modern society, they were always on the move.

Getting your body moving on your date night brings all sorts of benefits. See it as an opportunity to both connect with your partner and get the blood flowing. The more active you feel, the friskier you’ll become.

At Urban Playground, there are all sorts of opportunities to be more active. For instance, why not take a trip to our very own in-house crazy golf? Here you can challenge your partner to a variety of themed nine-hole putting experiences. Thanks to tech-enabled play, you can view both your and your date’s scores in real-time on overhead scoreboards. It’s a great way to bring out your competitive side and have a good laugh at the same time.

Travel somewhere totally new

Research shows that travel is incredibly good for us. Going to new places activates regions of our brain associated with novelty, making us feel refreshed.

Therefore, instead of visiting your local bar or restaurant with your date, take them somewhere new.

Again, you might want to hit Urban Playground. It’s the perfect place for new adventures of all kinds that you can share with your partner. What’s more, you can pretty much guarantee that you haven’t tried any of the activities at the venue before. There’s something new and interesting at every twist and turn. You’ll see a whole new side of your partner that you would never witness in a conventional bar or club.

The bottom line

When it comes to date night, there’s no reason to be conservative. In fact, the more adventurous you are, the more fun you’ll have. That’s exactly what you get at Urban Playground.
