What if you could book a vacation for $199 and not know where you’re going until after you book it? That’s the idea behind Groupon’s viral Mystery Vacation deal.
The package can include round trip airfare and a hotel, with destinations ranging from U.S. cities to international spots. The catch? You don’t get to pick the destination. You submit your preferred dates and departure airport, and the mystery is revealed later.
Sounds exciting, right? Well… there’s a little fine print.
The $199 price is generally based on two travelers sharing a room, baggage, food, entertainment and other travel expenses can still cost extra. More importantly, the odds of scoring that dream trip to Europe or Asia are pretty slim. Most travelers are likely to receive a shorter domestic getaway.
Still, there’s something pretty fun about handing over control and saying, “Surprise me!”
Would you roll the dice on a $199 mystery vacation—or do you need to know exactly where you’re going before you pack your bags?
