What to put on the sign
“Congrats, you scratched your way into a date. HOCO?”
One line, big letters. If it needs a second read, cut it down.
The plan
Write the question on a card, cover the words with clear packing tape, then paint over it with silver acrylic mixed with a squirt of dish soap. Once it dries they scratch it off with a coin like a lottery ticket and your line shows up underneath. Costs a few dollars and looks way more expensive than it is.
