Decide your New Year’s Eve plans as a group
New Year’s plans fall apart when everyone is waiting for someone else to decide. Put the options in a Rankd and send it to the group chat early. Everyone ranks, and you lock in the plan the group likes most before the good spots sell out.
- House party
- Bar downtown
- Fancy dinner
- Concert or show
- Low-key night in
Free. Edit the options, then send one link to your group.
Why ranking beats a regular poll here
- People can say a plan is their last choice without killing it for everyone.
- Second choices count, so the group lands on a plan most people are happy with.
- It gets decided early, while tickets and reservations are still open.
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
- Send it in early December, before prices jump.
- Add the actual venue names once you have them.
- Reveal by a set date so someone can book.
Questions
When should I send it?
Early December gives the group time to rank and still book what wins.
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.
