[At-home time] Games couples can enjoy (1–10)
Nnn Game
A perfect game for when you’re bored at home, running out of things to do, and don’t want to buy anything: the “Nnn Game.” You keep your mouth closed and try to convey what you want to say using only “nnn” and “n,” relying solely on intonation—can your partner really understand you? You might scrape by with single words, but full sentences get tricky.
And once someone mishears something, your brain can’t help but keep hearing it that way (lol).
Start with simple words and keep going until you get tired of it!
Love Psychology Test
Don’t you all love personality tests? When they’re on TV shows, I find myself getting drawn in—thinking seriously about them or watching intently until the answers are revealed.
How about trying one of those personality tests? Let’s do couple-focused ones, with answers related to romance or values.
These days, there are plenty of personality test questions on video platforms too.
Use them and try answering together, then see whether your results match or don’t match!
Foot reflexology NG words
Many couples probably give each other massages at home, right? Especially with the soles of the feet—when amateurs try massaging them, it can hurt so much you wonder what part of your body is even wrong.
On the other hand, some people feel no pain at all.
When it comes to reflexology foot massages, the word that always comes up is “Ouch!” So how about trying a game where saying “Ouch” means you get a penalty? It’s like, not only does it hurt, but there’s a penalty too? (lol) You could also set a few other banned words besides “Ouch,” like “Stop,” and so on.

No-English game
It’s a way to play by adding a “no English” rule as an extra twist to a simple game.
For example, you can play an NG word game and add a no-English rule on top of it.
When you’re thinking about answers or how to proceed in the original game, English words just slip out.
You might think you’ll be fine if you’re careful, but we use katakana loanwords so naturally that they’re ingrained in us.
You’ll be surprised to realize how often you use them in everyday life!
drawing from hazy memory
“Vague-memory drawing” is just what it sounds like: you draw purely from memory without looking things up online.
Even people who are good at drawing often find it tricky, right? Everyday objects are fine, but things you played with as a child or characters from popular childhood anime make it especially fun.
Be sure to look up the correct images online afterward and compare them with what you drew! You’ll probably be laughing nonstop—and you might even have running jokes for the future.
Just try not to let it become a cringe-worthy ‘black history’ moment! (lol)
Twister
Have you ever played Twister? It’s a game you often see on TV: there’s a mat laid out on the floor with circles in four colors, and you place your hands and feet on the colors you’re told.
You may end up in strange positions, but the goal is to keep your balance and not fall.
Let’s try playing Twister together, just the two of us! Since we’re a couple, it’s okay if we end up in slightly awkward poses or touching each other, right? Just be careful not to overdo it out of stubbornness and strain a muscle!
Impression Battle
Everyone, are you good at doing impressions? If you often go to drinking parties and the like, you probably have a few go-to impressions up your sleeve.
On the other hand, some people find them embarrassing and aren’t good at them.
But if it’s just between you and your partner, why not go all out even if you feel a little shy? Doing impressions of characters from an anime you both love or from shows you watched as kids can really liven things up.
Of course it’s great if it sounds accurate, but even if it doesn’t, it’ll definitely be fun!
