30 wish ideas to play for

In Duōdeka, each of you writes up to three wishes before the season. At the finish line, whoever loses picks which of the other’s wishes to grant. You still need good ideas, though. Here are thirty, sorted by the budget caps the app offers.

Three rules before you choose

• Make it a treat. It should delight the person receiving it, without humiliating the one granting it.
• Doable soon. A wish that waits six months loses its charm.
• Within your shared cap. Free, under 20, under 50 or no limit: the lower of your two choices applies.

Free

1. Breakfast in bed, on a Sunday of your choice.
2. Picking the movie three nights in a row.
3. A day off chores: the other takes care of everything.
4. A 20-minute massage.
5. A walk to the place of your choice.
6. A playlist made just for you.
7. A board-game night, phones away.
8. A handwritten letter.
9. A guaranteed lie-in, no alarm, no noise.
10. A picnic in the park.

Under 20

11. An ice cream at your favourite shop.
12. A cinema ticket, popcorn included.
13. A book picked by the other, with a dedication.
14. A bunch of flowers.
15. A homemade brunch, café style.
16. A karaoke session for two.
17. An online workshop to learn something together.
18. A plant for the balcony.

Under 50

19. Dinner at the restaurant of your choice.
20. A concert or show ticket.
21. A climbing or tree-top adventure session.
22. An escape room.
23. A cooking class.
24. A day at the spa or the pool.
25. A trip to the local theme park.

No limit

26. A surprise weekend away.
27. A table at a Michelin-starred restaurant.
28. A first paragliding flight.
29. The gear for a new hobby.
30. A night somewhere unusual: a treehouse, a bubble tent, a lighthouse.

What if it’s a tie?

Each of you receives one of your wishes. So it helps to pick wishes that are fun to share.
