Bored? Looking for a fun, simple way to spend date night with your partner? We’ve got you covered! Whether you’ve dated six months or six years, games are a great way to let down your guard and get to know each other better.
Here are 20 fun games for couples to play:
Classic Games
Life
You can’t go wrong with this classic! As your board game characters advance through the game, you can tie it into what you’re both looking for in the future.
Twister
The best way to let your guard down and make total fools of yourself. Laughter makes anything more fun, and Twister is the perfect game to unleash your silly side.
Monopoly
The perfect game for revealing those true colors! (How do they react to bankruptcy?!) More than that, it guarantees you’ll spend a while together.
Clue
True crime is all the rage nowadays, right? Clue is the classic board game version. While you play, you can work together, or be competitive to try and solve the mystery.
Two Truths and a Lie
Two Truths and a Lie is exactly what it sounds like. One person tells two truths and a lie about themselves, while the other person tries to guess what’s true and what isn’t. Get ready to learn something new and surprising about each other!
Poker
Can you read each other’s poker face? Poker is a super fun card game that can be played with just two people. Get creative (or spicy) with the bets!
Bedroom Games
Staring contest
Who says you need a board game to have fun? Just look into each other’s eyes—the first one to blink or look away loses. The best part? It’s super intimate.
Blindfolding
It’s not for everyone, but if you’re both down, introducing a blindfold to the bedroom can be a really fun way to explore new things together. Have the blindfolded person try to guess the objects you gently place on their skin. Who knows, things may get a little heated! (Wink.)
Truth or Dare
A fun, sexy twist on a classic. The “truth” option can help you learn more about each other, and if it’s “dare,” you can get creative with foreplay-friendly dares.
Never Have I Ever
During a typical Never Have I Ever game, people go around the room and state things they have never done. If you have done that thing, you have to speak up and accept the penalty (which can range from gaining a point or taking a drink/shot). In the bedroom adaptation, you and your partner can decide on the penalty (wink wink!) then take turns stating ‘never have I evers’ to get to know each other a bit better.
Made for Couples Games
TableTopics: Couples
This game offers an extensive list of questions that will prompt conversation between you and your partner. Questions include things like, “For what reasons were you disciplined when you were a child?” and “If we could quit our jobs what would we like to do?”
Love Language: The Card Game
This is a card game specifically made for couples to get to know each other better. The game comes with a set of 150 question prompts that are meant to make you think really hard about yourself, your partner, and the relationship. The cards are divided into five categories: family, intimacy, couple, individual, and past & future, which allows you to pick an area to focus on, or to mix it up.
{THE AND} Couples Game
This deck comes with 199 question cards that will spark interesting conversations between you and your partner. The cards are super versatile and can be played during a fun date night, or to help explore sensitive relationship topics. Card prompts include questions like, “Why do you love me?” and “When do you feel closest to me?”
You Think You Know Me
This card game playfully tests how well you know each other, with prompts like, “I know your favorite pizza topping is ______” and “I know you do/do not believe in luck”. This is definitely the most light-hearted of the conversational card games. With 500 different cards, it’s a great way to learn more about your partner.
Marital Bliss
Unlike other card games that can be played over the course of an hour to two, Marital bliss is a week-long ordeal that involves individualized missions with different point values and reward cards at the end (like a foot massage or something more intimate). Most of the missions involve doing something for your significant other, as do the reward cards. Playing this game can bring you closer as a couple by engaging in little acts of service throughout the week in a fun and competitive setting.
The Newlywed Game
The Newlywed Game was a popular TV show on air from 1966 to 2013. The show featured four newly married couples in a competition to see how well they knew each other. Even though the show is no longer on air, you can still enjoy the premise by hosting your very own Newlywed Game with a few of your favorite couple friends!
Creative Games
Charades
Everyone’s played Charades at least once before in their lives, right? It’s a fun way to let your guard down and get to know your partner better. What kind of things do they choose to act out? How do they try to explain things? Are they over-the-top competitive? This is a fun game to play just the two of you or with other couples.
Grocery store games
If you’re not a fan of grocery shopping (who is, right?) this game can make it a little more fun. Turn a trip to the store into a competition between you and your partner to shop the quickest or find the best deals. You can split up the list equally and go from there!
Scavenger hunts
Scavenger hunts can be a fun way to test how well your partner knows you and your relationship milestones. Create a list of clues about where you first met, your favorite ice cream spot, and things of that nature, then go along with them as they try to solve it. If there are clues that they don’t know, they’ll learn along the way, which will bring you closer together.
Blind Date Game
You and your partner write down five possible date night ideas (these can range from a movie night in, to a fancy dinner out) and then select one at random whenever you are feeling spontaneous or undecided. It’s a great way to keep date night fresh!
Whether you use one of these ideas or create your own, game night is the perfect way to spice up any old date night!
