10 Games Every Long Distance Couple Should Try Out

The essence of playing games as a couple is to have activities that always bring you together. With nothing bringing you together, your significant other will gradually become insignificant. Hence, the constant need to stay connected. One of the ways to foster quality connection between you and your significant other is to create time for each other irrespective of your tight and busy schedules.

The essence of this article is to ease the stress of thinking back and forth on how best you should spend your time together, or what to spend your time with your partner doing. This article discusses ten (10) fun and exciting games you can play with your partner even when you are miles

apart.

How to Make the Game Fun

You can choose to play the games with other couples onsite or online. If you decide to play the game online due to the distance between

you and your partner and you also decide to play the game with other couples,

can create a common group for all of you either on WhatsApp, Telegram, or Facebook

where essential information about the game will be discussed before the start

of the game.

If you and your partner are the types who enjoy playing large and having a good time on a larger scale, you can make your game

nights/days even more enjoyable by choosing platforms where your games are more open to a broader audience. It'll resemble a reality show. Twitter spaces, Clubhouse, Instagram Live, and Facebook live can all be used to do this. You can

invite random couples to participate or keep it closed to just you and your

couple buddies.

Try to explore all your options and do what works best for

you, most of these games are simple and there are a few on the list for real gaming enthusiasts too. Without further ado, let’s dive straight into the

games.

1. Truth or Dare

This is an age-long game played among friends and couples. The rule of the game is to take turns on who is to ask the question truth or dare. Turns can be taken onsite by spinning a bottle or randomly if the game is being played online. The person whose turn it is has to

pick “Truth" or "Dare"

Picking "Truth" requires you to give a totally honest answer to a question asked by one of the players while Picking "Dare" requires you to carry out whatever action you're dared to, failure to do so means

disqualification.

Never Have I Ever: this is one game you'll have

to play with an open mind, each person has a limited number of

"lives" let's call it that for the sake of this article, a statement

is read out from a source, could be the internet or the players could come up

with their own, so, for instance, the statement is "never have I ever gotten

drunk" every player who HAS gotten drunk loses a life, anyone who HASN'T

retains their life, the last player with lives left after a series of questions

wins the round. In a game like this you can easily get to find out things you

probably didn't already know about your partner, try not to take things

personal, see it as a chance to get to know them a little better, and have

discussion topics for later.

5 Tips For Better Relationship

Complete the lyrics: this one's rather simple

and would be really fun for music lovers, one of the players says the lyrics to

a song, and the player whose turn it is would be expected to correctly finish

the lyrics, you might know the song or you could guess what it could be and

find out if you're psychic.

Yes or No: this game would make you and your

partner burst into laughter now and then. To play the yes or no game, a

simple and direct question that is supposed to have the answer YES or NO will

be asked but you are not allowed to answer the question with either YES or NO.

For instance, if you ask a question like “did you fall in love with me at first

sight?” a normal answer will be YES or NO but for this game the player is

required to answer by saying something like, “from the first time I set my eyes on

you, I knew that you were the one for me” or “oh, it was after we became

friends and got a bit closer”. Now, the game gets more fun and intense after

the first question because you are to keep asking questions that require them

to reply either yes or no without giving the player time to think about it. So,

you can follow the first question with “did you say you just fell in love with

me at first sight.” and “did you think I was beautiful” or “were we sitting close

to each other when we met” and you can go on and on and on until the person

finally answers a question with either yes or no. The person who lasts the

longest without saying any of these words (Yes or No) wins the game.

Guess the movie: this game would be enjoyed by

couples who see movies a lot. Depending on what you have access to, it

might be a short clip, a picture or you can say out loud a statement from a

movie and your partner will be required to guess the movie where the clip, picture, or statement was gotten from.

I Spy: this game is really popular and you have

probably seen it done in movies when a family is on a road trip or vacation but

it doesn't always require players to be in the same space, I think

playing this game when you're in a different space than your partner adds to

the excitement and fun, you get to really think about where your partner could

be and what they could be looking at. In "I spy" a player says "I

spy with my little eye, something..." then leaves a clue about what

they're looking at, the clue could be a color, shape, or both, players set the

rules and can have all the fun they want for as long as they want.

8 Amazing Ways To Keep Her By Your Side Forever

Two truths and one lie: I'm a terrible liar so I

probably would be terrible at this one, the game requires you to make three

statements about yourself, two of them should be true and one should be a lie,

the aim is to make the lie sound as convincing as possible or at least not

obvious and the other player or players have to try to figure out which of the

statements is false.

This or That: this or that is a simple game that

helps you know a person's preferences, it's really straightforward: two options

are given by one player say "strawberry or chocolate" and the other

player or players simply pick one over the other.

You might've thought your partner or friend

loves strawberry ice cream just to find out they're actually mad over

chocolate, makes for a good laugh and conversation and gives you a little more

insight into your partner or the other players.
