‘Date Night’ is a series of weekly couple themed events for the month of May, to promote unique experiences and conversation between couples. Organized by the Kingston Parks & Recreation department, each week is an individual program designed to promote collaboration and coordination between couples, to deepen bonds and create fun memories. With a focus on affordability and participation, participation in the programs is not limited to only couples, with any relationship of adult partners welcome to participate, from best friends to newlyweds to senior couples.
For the Third week of Date Night, the Kingston Parks & Recreation Department is presenting “The Amazing Date!” Inspired by the hit TV show “The Amazing Race”, this week’s event will challenge participants to compete in various competitive challenges, ranging from trivia about your partner to mind reading.
The night will include 4 unique challenges, where you will complete the objective of each task as fast as possible. There won’t be any challenges based solely on physical ability, instead testing your relationships, bonds, and trust.
While we will keep the full list of games hidden, we can reveal that one game we will be playing is “The Wedding Shoe Game”. Popular on social media, couples will be placed back-to-back, unable to see one another or their answers, and asked a trivia question about their relationship. Participants will then hold up a sign sharing which of them is a better answer to the question.
An example question may be, “Who is the better cook?” To answer, players will hold up the shoe, or in our game’s version a sign, saying if they are answering ‘Me’ or ‘Them’. To win the game, the participants must get three matching answers consecutively.
On paper, this date night will pit participants against other couples in a cut throat competition. Yet, remember the true goal is to enjoy a night together with your partner, try something new together, and deepen your bonds over a fond memory. While the glory and bragging rights are an attractive bonus, we want everyone to have fun together and enjoy a nice night away from the usual stresses of the world.
While we don’t have any cash prize or vacations available for winning, we will be rewarding our winner with credit for K-rec programs in the future!
