A Permission Slip for Two

Here’s something most couples won’t say out loud: the hardest part of intimacy often isn’t the desire. It’s the ask. Who goes first? Are they too tired? What if they say no? So instead of risking an awkward moment, we default to the safe option. The plan was Netflix and chill… and somehow it’s just Netflix. Again.

Romantic Reveal changes that. When you send your partner a scratch card, the card does the asking for you. It says “I want this. I want you,” in a way that’s playful, not pressured. And when your partner scratches it, they’re opting in to the game. No decoding mixed signals, no guessing the mood. The invitation is right there on the screen.

Every card is a little permission slip, for both of you. Permission to want each other. Permission to initiate. Permission to put the remote down. And because you choose every activity on the card, from a cozy night in to something much spicier, you’re only ever offering what you’d genuinely love to do together.

A coupon is an invitation, not an obligation. The best nights happen when you both want to say yes, so talk about what’s on the card, swap an idea that doesn’t feel right tonight, and save it for another time.

No More “I Don’t Know, What Do You Want to Do?”

Even when you’re both in the mood, deciding what to do can stall the evening. Romantic Reveal turns the decision into a game. One of you secretly picks a few ideas, the other scratches a card to find the winner, and the anticipation does the rest.

How It Works

1. Pick

Choose three or more activities from 269 built-in ideas, or write your own. Then choose a grid size and a cover image.

2. Send

Share the card by Messages, AirDrop or email, locked with a password only the two of you know. Or just hand over your phone.

3. Scratch

Your partner scratches cells to uncover icons. Match three and the winning activity is revealed. Placement is random, so even you don’t know which one will win.

From Sweet to Seriously Spicy

Every card is exactly as tame or as wild as you make it. The 269 built-in activities are spread across nine categories:

  • Delicious: fondue nights, chocolate-dipped strawberries, cooking classes for two
  • Entertainment and Adventure: game nights, road trips and daring escapades
  • Cozy Time and Romance: stargazing, slow dances and love letters
  • Intimate, Sensual, Fantasy and Spicy: for the nights you want to turn up the heat

Add your own ideas, hide any you’d rather skip, and use Random Surprise when you want the app to choose for you.

Perfect For…

  • Date night: let fate (and your partner) decide
  • Love coupons: a digital, scratchable upgrade to the paper coupon book
  • Anniversaries, birthdays and Valentine’s Day: a gift that’s also a game
  • Long-distance couples: send a card now and scratch it on your next video call

Cheaper Than a Coupon Book (and It Never Runs Out)

Printed love-coupon books are a classic gift, and they typically sell for about $10 for around 50 coupons. Once you’ve torn out the good ones, that’s it. Romantic Reveal costs less than most of them and gives you more than five times as many ideas, plus as many of your own as you can dream up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which devices does it work on?

Romantic Reveal works on iPhone and iPad, in portrait and landscape, with full dark mode support.

Does my partner need the app too?

Only if you want to send cards to their device. You can always create and scratch a card together on one device. If you’re both in the same Apple Family Sharing group, one purchase covers both of you.

What if my partner isn’t in the mood for what’s on the card?

That’s completely fine. A card is an invitation, not an obligation. Talk about it, swap in a different idea, or save it for another night. Many couples hide a mix of sweet and spicy ideas on each card so there’s always something you’ll both enjoy.

Is there a subscription?

No. It’s a single one-time purchase with no in-app purchases and no ads.

Is it suitable for everyone?

Romantic Reveal is for adults. Some categories contain intimate and sexual themes, but you choose every activity on every card.
