Warm-up round

What would make this trip brilliant?

Choose up to four things that matter tonight. The dashboard will surface three likely fits—but it will not make the decision for you.

Tip: let Oisín choose two priorities and Jenelle choose two. If somebody changes their mind, tap again. There are no wrong answers.
The contenders

Meet all ten adventures

The total is a realistic family planning range—not just the seductive headline airfare. Open “honest pros & catches” before voting.

No-peeking round

Choose your champions

Pass the screen back and forth. Each bracket is saved separately on this device. Results remain hidden until both people finish.

The reveal

Your family final

The two private champions appear only after both brackets are complete.

The booker’s reality check

⏱️

Connections count

The cheapest Belize, Lisbon, Curaçao and Tenerife quotes may involve long travel days. The next pricing round should optimize usable holiday time, not only fare.

📏

Age and height rules

Caves, zip lines, glacier trips, biobays and water slides have operator-specific limits. Oisín’s exact age and height must be checked before booking activities.

🛡️

Refundability matters

Egypt is a conditional contender because of regional uncertainty. Weather-sensitive trips also deserve good cancellation and travel-interruption cover.
