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

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

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.
v
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.

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.
v
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.
v
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.
v
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.

obvious and the other player or players have to try to figure out which of the
statements is false.
