Tired of the same old, same old? Tired of trying to think of something new to cook for dinner? Of entertaining the gang at home? Of sticking around the house for another night’s carbon-copy routine? Yep. We sure are! That’s why the allure of Mystery Night In immediately caught our attention. A co-worker at Do512 recently tried this new-to-Austin delivery service for a date night at home (haha, remember date nights?), and she had great things to say. So we had to look into this new service, too.

Mystery Night In is a really cool concept in which dinner, activities, and local goodies are delivered right to your door. The nice part is that each purchase supports small businesses and nonprofits in the Austin area. The adventurous part is that you don’t know what you’re going to get!

As simply as it’s named, your meal and activities will be a mystery! When you place an order, you can indicate your dietary needs and other preferences, but half the fun is not knowing what to expect. Each mystery box includes…

— Dinner for two from an awesome local restaurant. You can add in individual extra meals for more family members or opt to add a bottle of wine, too. Your meal is prepared the day of your delivery, and you can either eat it right away or reheat it when it’s time for your family to have dinner!

— Activities to keep you entertained. Enjoy surprise activities from local artists, as well as gifts and treats from local small businesses.

Take note that every box purchased helps support local businesses that are feeling the effects of COVID-19 shutdowns. From artists to chefs to small business owners, your curated box helps support the local economy. For more, info check out the FAQs section on their website.

Whether you want to try to put the kiddos to bed and enjoy this as a fun at-home date night, or let the whole family enjoy the excitement of opening up a fun box of surprises, Mystery Night In is an easy way to add some flare to any day of the week. You can click here to place your order.

We hope you enjoy your surprises!
