What's one thing you want us to do differently next year?

What is the Looking Ahead anniversary game?

Looking Ahead is a set of prompts for couples to close out their anniversary on—hopes, goals, and promises for the year in front of you instead of just the one behind you.

Where Looking Back reflects, Looking Ahead commits—what you want more of, what you're both hoping for, what you're promising each other for the year ahead.

Looking Ahead has 38 of them, one of Love Daring's free couple games, free to play in full with no account needed.

How to play

Play it after Looking Back

Looking Ahead is built as a closer, not a standalone opener—work through Looking Back first, then finish the night here.

Take turns reading the prompt

One card, one question, out loud—Partner 1, then Partner 2.

Answer honestly, then pass it back

No scripts, just the two of you paying attention—keep going as long as you want.
