01. The Neurochemistry of Adventure
When you do something new, your brain releases dopamine and norepinephrine. In a relationship context, these chemicals are the same ones found in the honeymoon phase. You are literally 'tricking' your brain into feeling that early excitement again.
02. Scouting the Unknown
Finding 'new' often feels like work. Our AI Concierge scouts (Bar, Club, Movie, Theatre) are designed to handle the research. Your only job is to show up and experience the novelty together.
Common Questions
How often should we try something new?
Research suggests that 'Novelty Rituals' even once a week can significantly offset relationship decline and boredom.
What if we don't like the new activity?
The bonding doesn't come from the activity being 'perfect'—it comes from the shared vulnerability of trying something unfamiliar together.
How do I make my jar more mysterious?
Enable 'Mystery Mode' in Jar Settings. This hides all idea names until they are selected and revealed.
Why can I only reveal one mystery idea per day?
Decision Jar is about intentionality. By limiting mystery reveals to one per day, we encourage groups to actually do the activity they picked rather than 'doom-spinning' for a better surprise. If a jar was gifted to you with curated ideas, this limit is lifted!
