Where should we go for a day trip?
Day trips fall through because the planning takes longer than the trip. One person suggests the beach, another wants a hike, and by Saturday morning everyone has made other plans. Send a Rankd midweek with a few ideas within driving distance. Everyone ranks, you reveal Friday, and the car leaves in the morning.
- Hike and a brewery after
- Beach for the day
- Apple picking at a farm
- Small town antiques and lunch
- Museum in the next city over
- Winery tour
Free. Edit the options, then send one link to your group.
Why ranking beats a regular poll here
- There’s nothing to book, so the only thing standing between you and the trip is a decision.
- Weather backups are built in: if the winner needs sun and it rains, go with the next one down.
- People can rank a long drive last without having to say they’re tired.
How it works
- Add the question and 3 to 30 options
- Send one private link to the group
- Everyone ranks privately, in about a minute
- You reveal the winner
Tips
- Keep every option within about two hours each way.
- Set an automatic reveal for Friday evening.
- Mark which options need good weather.
Questions
What if it rains on the day?
Use the ranked order. Skip any outdoor options and go with the highest-ranked one that still works indoors.
Can people see how I ranked?
No. Each person’s order stays private. Everyone sees the group’s final order and where they personally landed, never anyone else’s individual ranking.
Is it free? Does everyone need the app?
Rankd is free and runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download. Friends open the link from any group chat (iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, email) and rank in about a minute.
