Cook something you've never cooked before
"We made rotisserie chicken spinach stuffed shells with a cream sauce. Delicious!"
One challenge.
Every week.
A new one shows up every Monday, and you have until Sunday night to go do it. Then you post a line about how it went.
Recent ones, from people using it
Buy something from a vendor that's been there for decades
"Very good bratwurst with sauerkraut and mustard."
Find a local spot celebrating tonight and just show up
"I stopped by a local restaurant with outdoor seating and live music for Cinco de Mayo happy hour."
Here's how a week goes.
Monday morning the app hands you one challenge. Pick the Chill version if it's a busy week, or Bold if you're up for something that takes a little nerve.
You do it whenever it fits. Maybe that's a lunch break, or a Saturday errand you take a different way, or a dinner where you finally ask your aunt the question you've been wondering about for years. Nobody checks.
Afterward you write a sentence or two about what happened. Photos are optional. If someone came along, tag them and it shows up on their week too.
A few from the list.
Every week comes in two versions. Chill is the easier one, and Bold usually means talking to somebody first.
- ChillAsk the barista what they'd recommend and order exactly that. No substitutions.
- BoldWalk into a shop, gallery, or space you've always been curious about but never entered. Stay for at least 10 minutes.
- BoldAsk someone older than 60 for the best piece of advice they've ever received or given. Write it down.
- ChillAsk the next person who serves you this week where their favorite place to eat nearby is. Go there for your next meal.
- BoldFind a street musician and stop to listen for an entire song. Tell them one specific thing you liked.
- ChillWrite a genuine review for a local business you love. Make it specific enough that the owner knows you were really there.
What people wrote afterward.
Posts go to your friends, and to your team if you're on one. Most are a line or two.
Eat something for breakfast you've never had"Everything I thought of didn't work because I had eaten it at some point. Two hands full of peanuts and some mozzarella cheese did the trick."
Watch the sun go down. Don't photograph it."No photos made it feel different because I normally try to get a few good shots."
When someone asks how you are, give a real answer"It was nice to actually check in with each other instead of staying surface level."
Take 10 photos of things nobody else would photograph"I took pictures of things I see every day, but never pause to really look at and appreciate."
