How To Play The Newlywed Game

Okay, let’s get right into it! To play the Newlywed Game, you need to gather your couples and seat them back-to-back so they cannot see each other’s answers.
One partner from each couple will be asked to leave the room while the other partner answers a series of questions about their relationship. You can also use noise canceling headphones if there is no room for the other partners to go to. Once the answers are written down, the partners return and the host asks them the same set of questions to check if their answers match.

The host will need to list down the questions in advance. You need to consider the comfort level of the couple, and establish a fun atmosphere to enhance participation.

Every couple earns a point if they give matching answers. After the first round, the roles reverse, and the second partner gets to answer the questions while the first partner steps out. At the end, the couple with the highest points wins!

Now let us begin with the questions to get the game started!
