Experience Istanbul like never before in this adventure challenge designed for couples. This sporty date idea takes you around some of the most iconic spots in the city presenting challenges and games that will surely test your teamwork and communication skills, but also bring plenty of fun and lau…
- Your date starts at one of the bustling local cafes where you'll receive an envelope with your first clue and challenge. You and your partner will then set across the city, from the vibrant Grand Bazaar to the historic Sultanahmet. You will have to solve clues, interact with locals, compete in fun physical challenges and even taste local delicacies in this fun-filled adventure.
- Sure, it's a friendly competition, but it's also a great bonding experience. You'll rely on each other's strengths, support each other's weaknesses and, most importantly, laugh together all day. Every challenge is carefully created to be engaging but not overly strenuous, ensuring it's all about the joy of spending time together and not about winning.
- In the end, you'll find yourselves not only closer to each other, but also immersed in the vibrant culture of Istanbul. You'll cap off the day on the rooftop of a local cafe, overlooking the Bosphorus, toasting to your ‘victory', no matter how you placed in the challenge.
Preparation steps:
- Ensure you're wearing comfortable shoes and clothes as you'll be moving around a lot. Consider bringing a backpack for essentials like water, snacks, and a camera. It's advisable to check the weather forecast and dress accordingly. And don't forget, it's not a race, it’s how you enjoy each other's company while overcoming fun challenges together.
- Get familiar with the public transportation in Istanbul as you might need to use it during some of the challenges. Remember that transport cards can be used on buses, ferries, trams, metros and funiculars.
- Brush up your map reading skills and basic Turkish phrases. Though the challenges are designed to be user-friendly, a little prep can go a long way in making the most of your adventure.
Some tips:
- Stay hydrated. Bring a refillable water bottle and take advantage of numerous public water dispensers spread throughout Istanbul.
- Don't treat it solely as a competition. The goal is to have fun and connect with each other whilst experiencing a different side of Istanbul.
- Make sure to take breaks and enjoy the beautiful backdrop of your adventure. There are countless little cafes and eateries around Sultanahmet and the Grand Bazaar where you can rest and taste local snacks.
- Lastly, while trying to win can be fun, it's essential to respect the local culture and the people you interact with. This amazing city and its residents are more than a game setting, but hosts of your unforgettable date.
