How to play with couples

Pick a question, answer at your own pace, and ask a follow-up that interests you. The aim is conversation, not a score. For couples, take turns choosing prompts and listen without correcting the answer. Keep the tone affectionate and agree on comfortable boundaries.

Let's play

A quick round

Pick ten prompts and keep each answer to one sentence. Stop when the group wants to talk more.

A story round

Use fewer prompts and invite an optional follow-up. Let the person answering decide how much to share.

A paper round

Print a small set, cut out the cards, and let willing players draw a prompt. Keep a skip pile on the table.

Make it your game.

Simple rules, plenty of room for your group.
