Create a 'Social' Jar
Name it 'The [Surname] Family' and choose 'Social' mode. This supports multiple members.
Add the Family
Invite your partner and kids (if they have devices). For younger kids, just manage the jar on the parents' phones.
Crowdsource Fun
Let everyone add their wishlist. 'Zoo Trip', 'Bike Ride', 'Board Game Night'. Use tags like 'Outdoor' or 'Rainy Day' to organize.
The Weekend Ritual
Every Saturday morning, gather around the phone and spin. The anticipation is half the fun!
The Saturday Morning Standoff
Every family knows this scene: it's Saturday at 9 AM. The kids are restless, your partner is scrolling their phone, and someone asks the dreaded question: "What should we do today?" What follows is a 45-minute negotiation where the 8-year-old wants the trampoline park, the teenager wants to stay home, and Dad suggests the same hiking trail he always does.
By the time you've finished arguing, it's 11 AM and half the day is gone. You end up at the same shopping centre food court you always default to. Sound familiar?
Why Families Need a Decision Jar
A Family Adventure Jar solves this by turning the decision into a game. During the week, everyone adds ideas when inspiration strikes — maybe one parent sees a new playground on Instagram, or a kid hears about a friend's awesome laser tag birthday. By Saturday, the jar is already loaded with everyone's honest wishlist.
The magic is in the ritual. Gather around the phone at breakfast, set a filter if needed ("Outdoor only" on sunny days, "Rainy Day" when it's pouring), and spin. The anticipation of the spin creates excitement before you even leave the house, and because everyone contributed ideas, the result always feels fair.
Make it even better with Recurring Events — set up "Saturday Adventure" as a weekly ritual and let the jar pick a new activity each time. Use RSVP to track who's joining (because the teenager might not make every trip), and post changes via Announcements so the whole family stays in sync.
