THE BEST COUPLES GAMES FOR THE ULTIMATE DATE NIGHT

 

All forms of games are a fun way to introduce some lighthearted competition into your relationship. Win, lose or draw, you will learn more about your partner during a game night than during any other activity.

Board Games

For many people, certain board games are super nostalgic and reminiscent of childhood. There are so many board games out there that it’s likely that you and your partner had different household favorites as you were growing up. Playing board games as a date night activity can be a super fun way to learn about each other’s favorite games, which will totally give you a leg up when you inevitably have a game night with their family. There are also some couple-specific board games that are more appropriate for just you and your partner. Games like Fog of Love, for example, explore intimacy in a way that will teach you a lot about your partner and your relationship in general.

 

Card Games

Card games are another great way to spend date night. Card games are by far the most diverse type of game out there. You can play games like Gin Rummy, ERS, Go Fish or even poker with a classic deck of cards as well as games like UNO and Apples to Apples that require a special deck. In the same vein as board games, we all have different card games we grew up playing with our families. Having a couple’s game night can introduce you to new card games you’ve never learned before. Card games are fun, because they are pretty low commitment in terms of time. Bus are fun drinking games that involve cards and can be played with just two people.

Video Games

Okay so most video games are one player games that can often leave one person feeling totally left out. How often are you wanting to hang out with your partner, but they’re tied up in some long video game with their friends online? Unfortunately, this can be a reality for many couples! A fun idea for your next date night could be finding a video game that you can both play together. Playing the video game together can allow you to have a good laugh, let loose, compete with each other and even problem solve together. Who knows, you may even discover your new favorite video game.

Online Games

 

If the classic games we all know and love aren’t exciting enough for you, consider turning to the internet! There are plenty of games posted online that are catered specifically to couples. In the time of corona, everyone is looking for new date night ideas. Lucky for us, people are sharing their creative ideas online.

Additionally, websites like marriage.com, buzzfeed and other sites have online quizzes to help you discover your “couple personality” or to test if you could pass the U.S. Couples Immigration interview process. There are also SO many online games catered specifically towards couples, for whatever kind of game you’re interested in. Get online, explore your options, and find new ways to learn about your partner and your dynamic as a couple. Online games are also a great option for long distance couples to stay connected in a fun way.

 

Phone Games

These days there are probably millions of apps on the app store. And whether you’re team Android or team Apple, you will be able to find some apps with specific games for couples. Apps like Happy Couple, have quizzes that you and your partner can take so that you get to know each other better. Other couples apps can help you choose a date night spot in your city if you’re out of new ideas or feeling indecisive. In addition to couple-specific apps, games like HeadsUp (kind of like charades and Taboo) and Psych (trivia type app) are also great options for a date night. In these games you have to work together as a team, which can build your bond as a couple in a super competitive and fun way.

Movie Games

Okay who remembers the Disney game called Scene It? This was one of my absolute favorites growing up. It provides a great blue print for a creative date night! Playing general movie trivia can be fun, and you can even find movie specific trivia games online that will make your movie watching experience

more interactive and competitive.In addition to trivia, there are also movie-specific drinking games that can be fun to try out for movies like Harry Potter, Zoolander, Scream and movies in most other genres as well.
