Time Capsule Dinner
Everyone answers the big ones — where will you live in five years, what will you risk, which of us gets richest, what is AI in 2030. Seal the answers and mail them back a year later. Quietly profound with a close group, and the revisit is its own future party.
What it's for
Make the group commit to a version of the future in writing — the distance between tonight’s answer and next year’s reality is the whole point.
The guest's job
Answer each prompt honestly and sign your name; the capsule only works if people mean it.
The vote
Vote on one collective prediction for the group — a shared bet everyone signs before the envelope seals.
The reveal
The capsule itself, mailed back or opened at a reunion dinner a year from tonight.
Food & drink spine
Something celebratory and unhurried — a long dinner that earns the gravitas of the questions.
Conversation fuel
"Which prediction are you most confident in, and which one are you most afraid to be wrong about?"
How it flops — steer around it
Safe, hedge-everything answers. Build in at least one question that requires a specific, checkable prediction.
