Benefits Of Playing Games Together

Playing games as a couple can strengthen your relationship in several ways:

  • Games provide a fun space for open conversations, helping you both share your thoughts and feelings easily.
  • Working together during games helps build trust and creates a sense of dependability.
  • Engaging in playful activities can lighten the mood and let you both unwind and de-stress.
  • Sharing laughter and fun moments brings a couple closer, deepening their emotional connection.
  • Games often require strategic thinking, giving room for both partners to work on problem-solving together in a relaxed setting.
  • A little friendly competition can keep things exciting. It adds a playful spark to the relationship.

In a survey published in the journal Social Interactions in Virtual World, researchers explored the gaming habits of couples. The work involved 19 males and 14 females and evaluated the experience of playing games with romantic partners and the positive benefits they associate with the activity. Participants mentioned enjoying the activity itself and spending quality time together. No matter the stress involved in playing for those who took part in the experiment, they mostly considered the mutual enjoyment of playing as a desirable element of their relationships. This indicates that participants understood that spending time doing things together, such as playing games, would strengthen their relationship by providing a shared experience they could enjoy together (1).

Monica, a blogger who writes extensively about marriage and nurturing relationships, shares in her posts why playing games with her husband has become one of her favorite activities. She writes, “Today, we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of new board games that are currently in production. Having fun and playing together is a regular part of our relationship and we enjoy every moment of it. Actually, I am more relaxed and happy when we play together – much more so than if we were to watch TV together or go to a movie. There is something about the fun interaction that brings us closer together (i).”

This list is curated to be the best collection of games that can help couples enjoy together while creating memories. These options are sure to bring some spark of fun into your relationship. Continue scrolling through.

1. The Picture Game

It is not that bad to make your own rules while playing romantic games. Take a small cubical box and paste pictures on all sides. You can choose what the pictures can be – but the naughtier, the better.

Take turns to throw the box like a dice. Your boo has to do what the image displays. When he throws it, you need to do what the picture displays. You can use pictures that show a kiss, cuddling, biting an ear, etc.

2. Romantic Scrabble

Scrabble is a game everyone has played at least once in their lives.

But, have you ever tried to play such romantic games? You can play romantic scrabble and make up rules, such as you can only use a sexy or romantic word to play.

You can also add variety to this game by choosing a category like Strip scrabble or Kiss scrabble. On scoring a particular number of points, your SO has to kiss you – or remove a piece of clothing. It is a must-play couple game that is sure to heat things up.

3. Drinking Roulette

To play this, you need some drinks – preferably wine – and two glasses. However, it doesn’t necessarily have to be alcohol. If you guys don’t drink, just get a soft drink of your choice. In the game, one of you will ask a question, and the other one will have to answer with a ‘yes’ or ‘no.’

If the answer is a ‘yes,’ the person who is being asked the question will have to take a sip. If the answer is a ‘no,’ no one has to take a sip. If you guys are in a bar, you can have flaming tequila shots to play this drinking game. But if you are at home or in a restaurant, you can simply have a sip of whatever is available – even coke– and play one of the best intimacy games. The main objective is to have lots of fun, so you can customize the game according to what you guys like and make it more enjoyable.

4. Sink The Ship

Sink the ship is one of the most popular and fun date night games for couples. In this game, you need to pour your drink in a shot glass that is floating in liquid in a bigger glass. The objective is not to allow the shot glass to sink.

However, you have to personalize it a bit to play it in a romantic way. Ask your bae to play the game, and whoever is losing has to do what their significant other asks them to do. Use your imagination to make the game wilder. Include naughty punishments whenever you can.

5. Never Have I Ever

This game is easy to play and involves a lot of fun. If you both are at home on the weekend or a holiday, this is the perfect couples game to play. Get a piece of paper or cardboard and write ‘Never’ on one side and ‘I Have’ on the other. That’s it – you are all set!

Start asking questions to your partner. For eg., if you say “I have been arrested for a traffic violation,” you and your partner will show your placards at the same time. If it doesn’t apply to you, show the side that says ‘Never.’ But if it does apply to you, show the side that states ‘I Have.’ This way, you and your boo will get to know each other even better. In fact, you can also play this game with other couples. Check out this article for more ideas.

You can also play this with cards that have pre-written statements which you both can answer.

6. Truth Or Dare

Truth or dare never gets old. It can easily be turned into one of the most entertaining things for couples to do at home. Don’t have a bunch of friends around to play it with? No problem! Just go ahead and play it with your baby boo. You can ask funny or personal questions if they choose ‘Truth,’ and turn the heat up if they select Dare. Here are a few truth or dare questions you can ask.

protip_icon Trivia
This game is believed to be a variant of an ancient game “questions and commands” which existed in the 1700s. It was often played as a Christmas game.

7. Romantic Scavenger Hunt

Remember playing Treasure Hunt? Why not play it in a romantic way and personalize it to be one of the best fun games for couples? Design a hunt and leave some cute notes to guide your significant other towards the amazing treat you have planned in advance for them. The gift can be anything from a watch they had been pining for to a romantic candlelight dinner – or you!

Alanna Wilson, a blogger who writes all about her life with a special focus on long-distance relationships (LDR), organized a romantic scavenger hunt for her boyfriend. After the hunt ended, she shared how her boyfriend felt: “By the end told me he was speechless and asked why I’m so good to him. He said he wasn’t expecting it to be like this at all and couldn’t believe all the effort I put into it. He really appreciated it which made it all so worth it. We’re already so in love but I felt like we grew even closer yesterday (ii).”

8. Pretzel Challenge

When was the last time you and your SO spent some time in the kitchen? If you don’t even recall the time you guys cooked together, the time has come to drag your bae over to the kitchen and enjoy cooking up something like pretzels. You can even compete against each other.

To make the game more exciting, you can even set a time limit. Find out who the faster or better cook is when it comes to the kitchen. However, if you are anything like us and would rather eat pretzels than make them, you can convert this game into an eating challenge game.

9. Deal Or No Deal

You can play Deal or No Deal, and take it to a whole new romantic level. A small change can turn this normal game into one of the most exciting fun games for partners. Put a fat envelope of cash along with a romantic wish of yours in front of your partner and let them choose.

10. Origami Games

For couples who are creative, making origami can be an amazing pastime. Doing fun and creative things together can add more spice to your relationship.

You don’t even need to be an origami expert to pull something like this off. Search for videos on YouTube and choose the ones you want to create with your partner. All you will need is a bundle of colorful papers. You can make this into a fun game by competing against each other or making it a timed challenge.

11. Romantic Tic Tac Toe

Never thought that tic tac toe could be a part of couple bedroom games? You can make this game a lot more romantic by personalizing it. Take sheets of paper, make cards out of them, and describe intimate actions on them. Take another sheet, draw boxes, and describe a few activities, such as a kiss, cuddle, etc.

When both of you have chosen your spot, you both have to complete the action described and then play the next turn. Whoever wins a complete round can ask their SO to do anything!

12. Staring Contest

A staring contest may seem like one of those boring old school games – but it’s not! You will soon realize that it is not that easy to play once you actually start playing the game. If you have been together for a long time, you should definitely try playing this game. Stop and think for a moment – when was the last time you actually looked into your bae’s eyes with pure love?

If you ask your boo directly to have a staring contest, they probably won’t be up for it. Do this – simply fix your eyes on their eyes. Don’t say anything. Feel the moment together. Focus on looking at their eyes with love. Try it – you will thank us later.

13. Two Truths And A Lie

This is a great game to play if you just got into a new relationship. You can use this game as an opportunity to learn more about one another. To play this game, you and your partner will have to take turns telling one false thing and two true things about yourselves. The other one has to guess which of the statements is the lie.

14. I Spy

There are many different ways to play ‘I Spy.’ You and your partner can cozy up and try to find things in an I Spy book, or hop into the car and drive out somewhere. It can be anywhere from a park to a mall. Take turns in giving one another clues of what you observe. It is an awesome game to play when you both are going on a road trip together.

15. Ding Dong Ditch

This version of the Ding Dong Ditch game is much more fun than the kind that little children play. Yes, you will be ringing doorbells and then running off before anyone answers the door, but you will leave behind a treat to surprise people.

This is an especially fun game for you and your significant other to play during Christmas or Halloween. You can leave things like a tin of cookies or a basket of treats. Add a cute message and spread the joy among your neighbors.

16. Charades

Charades are usually played by forming teams. However, it is definitely possible for two people to play charades. When it’s just you and your boyfriend playing, you can put up clues that are personal to just you two. Ideas for the clues include favorite movies, inside jokes, phrases that you both use a lot, and common interests. You can also try playing charades with other couples.

17. Card Games

While there are common card games for couples like slapjack, blackjack, war, and strip poker, there are also games that are played using a set of cards that are not strictly traditional. Here is a list of fun card games that you can play with your partner during a date night – Monopoly Deal, Five, Set, Crowns, and Uno.

18. Roleplay

Roleplay

Roleplay is one of the most flirty party games for couples that you can play in public as well as in private. Look up characters that you and your significant other both like and then pretend to be those characters. They can be characters in real life like celebrities or actors or even characters in books or TV (or even anime!).

To make it more fun, you can try and dress up like the character that you are trying to be. Try to behave like that character as well, and use mannerisms that they have and phrases that they say. This is a great way to spice up your sex life as well.

19. Board Games

Here is a list of two people player games that you can play with your partner on a date night: Yahtzee, Mancala, Clue, Ticket to Ride, Stratego, Hive, Scrabble, Flash, Castles of Burgundy, Carcassonne, Trivial Pursuit, Life, Checkers, Backgammon, Rivals for Catan, Bananagrams, Lost Cities, Forbidden Island, Dragonwood, Sushi Go!, Onitama, Morels, Battleship, Rummikub, Farkle, Qwirkle, Pandemic, Jenga, Battleship, Uno, Connect 4, Guillotine, Battle Line, Machi Koro, Libertalia, Monopoly, Forbidden Island, Scattergories, Last Word, Codenames Duet, Blokus, Boggle, Dominion, and Exploding Kittens. These are just of the most popular board games for couples that were out there. Nicole, a blogger with a passion for board games, shares a heartwarming story of how she and her partner first met. She writes, “We met when he was working at a board game cafe and I was a regular customer, and our love of games and vegan baked goods brought us together. And while I haven’t experienced any other romantic relationships originating out of board games, I have created a lot of fast friendships (iii).”

20. Video Games

Video games are mostly played alone but can be even more fun when played with your partner. Here is a list of games you can play with your bae: Portal, Guitar Hero, Wii Sports, Cuphead, Warcraft, Super Smash Bros, Borderlands, Diablo, World or Overwatch, Snipperclips, Rock Band, Halo, Bomberman, Love in a Dangerous Space Time, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Minecraft, Mario Kart, Overcooked, Lego games, Little Big Planet, Guacamelee, Secret of Mana, and Mario Party.

Chip and Laura, a couple who maintain a blog about their relationship, activities, and date nights, are both avid video game players. Speaking about their shared love for gaming, Chip says, “So I will start by addressing this simple fact: Video games are not inherently romantic. Video games are not roses and Champagne, or a walk on the beach at sunset, or a trip to Paris for your anniversary. They just aren’t. They may be one day, but they aren’t right now. But video games are fun. And fun is certainly an important component of romance (iv).”

21. This Or That

This fun game is awesome for knowing your partner and is one of the most amazing conversation starters for couples. It is an amazing game to play, especially early in the relationship – you will get to know so many new things about your significant other. Those in long-term relationships can ask more complicated questions. Here are examples of questions you can ask:

  • Beach or mountains?
  • Showers or baths?
  • Pizza or burgers?
  • Wine or beer?
  • Ice cream or cake?
  • TV or books?
  • Cats or dogs?
  • Chocolate or vanilla?
  • Indoors or outdoors?
  • Fancy restaurant or fast food?

22. Twister

Twister is a playful game where couples can challenge each other’s flexibility and balance. You lay the Twister mat on the floor, and one person spins the spinner to choose a color and body part (e.g., red, left foot). You then try to place that body part on a matching colored circle. Try giving each color a romantic action (like a kiss or a hug) that must be performed when a body part lands on that color to add a romantic twist. This game is a hilarious way to break the ice and build trust in your relationship.

23. Couples Trivia

Couples trivia is a fun way to test your knowledge about each other. Start by creating questions about your relationship and experiences together. Then, take turns asking and answering, with each correct answer earning a point. You can add bonus points for sharing special memories associated with that question. This game helps you learn more about your partner and strengthen your emotional connection. Set up a reward system where the winner picks a date night activity or a special treat to make things even more interesting. Here are examples of questions you can ask:

  • What is your partner’s favorite book/movie?
  • What is/was your partner’s dream job?
  • What is your partner’s favorite meal?
  • Who is your partner’s celebrity crush?
  • How does your partner de-stress?

24. 20 Questions

In this game, one person thinks of an object, place, or person, while the other asks up to 20 yes-or-no questions to guess what it is. You can pick categories like ‘favorite dates’ as your subjects. This game will help you to think from each other’s perspectives, build communication, and promote a sense of empathy.

How To Tailor Games To Fit Your Relationship Dynamic

When it comes to couples, however, a one-size-fits-all approach definitely doesn’t work. Every couple is different and has their preferences, energy levels, and things that interest them. That is what makes it beautiful with playing games: you get to customize according to your vibe. Whether you’re a long-distance couple or long-term partners looking to rekindle some playful energy, there’s always a way to make play time fit seamlessly into your relationship. The key is to focus on what feels right for you as a couple. After all, the goal isn’t just to play games; it’s to strengthen your connection and build memories you’ll carry long after the dice are rolled.

Here are creative ways to modify games no matter what your style:

  • Acknowledge the dynamics of the relationship, whether you are in a long-term relationship, married, in a long-distance relationship, or just started dating. Each given scenario might have their own needs and preferences, which can influence game choices.
    For example, for long-distance couples, a virtual version of Pictionary or trivia via video calls could work. Newly dating couples may enjoy light, ice-breaker games such as Two Truths and a Lie, whereas long-term partners may want strategy-based games, which various board games provide and challenge teamwork.
  • Talk about the different options you have or each other’s preferences for types of games. Let’s say if one partner isn’t into strategy games, simplify rules or introduce cooperative games where you work together instead of competing. For gamers who love storytelling, RPGs (role-playing games) in a fictional world might be the perfect fit.
  • Look for games that will engage both partners’ interests, level of energy, and likes and dislikes. For example, you could play each partner’s favorite game one night, and his or her favorite game the other night to keep it equitable and entertaining.
  • Select games to suit your energy level and available time. A game that is long and full of complexity might not do the trick for a late-night hangout, and something light may not fulfill that moment of deeper connection. On a chilly evening, play a low-key game like Jenga or do funny dares. To spice up energetic nights, a quick-paced playing card game or roleplay can enhance time together.
  • Games often require strategy or decision-making, so clear communication is essential. Use this as an opportunity to practice patience and teamwork. If you’re playing a new game, take the time to understand the rules together, ensuring you’re both on the same page before diving in.
  • Keep the ideas and games easy and more accessible. Remember, the main focus is to enjoy each other’s company. Games are a great way to let your playful side shine. Don’t take things too seriously, and add your personal touch with custom rules or themes. For instance, you can turn a classic game like Jenga or Truth or Dare into a couples’ version with romantic questions or dares.
  • Acknowledge and celebrate the little victories for any funny moment or a well-played move. Even if you lose, find something to laugh about or praise in your partner’s gameplay to keep the vibe positive.
    At the heart of every great relationship is the ability to adapt, compromise, and celebrate your uniqueness, and the same goes for playing games together! By customizing and modifying the playing methods, you ensure the games are enjoyable. This, in turn, helps strengthen the bond you share, connect, and cherish the playfulness between you two. Remember, it’s not about winning or losing. It’s about having fun, supporting one another, and creating shared experiences you’ll cherish; these moments become the threads that weave your story as a couple. By keeping these tips in mind, playing games together can become a fun, enriching experience that deepens your relationship while bringing you closer in a unique way.
