[At-home time] Games couples can enjoy (1–10)
Ten Times Game
The “say it 10 times” game used to be popular, right? It’s definitely one of those “games every kid gets into at least once.” It’s so simple that even when you think, “I won’t be fooled!”, you still get tricked.
Like, “Say ‘chandelier’ ten times,” then, “Who ate the poisoned apple?” and you blurt out “Cinderella!”—but the correct answer is Snow White.
If you think it through, it’s obvious, but people still get tripped up a lot with this game.
Don’t dismiss it as silly—try it once.
It’s silly and a lot of fun!
Love Jenga
Jenga is a classic party game that’s always popular.
In Jenga, you pull out wooden blocks and place them on top, continuing carefully so the tower doesn’t collapse—a balance game.
Love Jenga takes that Jenga and turns the blocks a striking pink and white, with each block featuring a romance-related question or dare, which you follow when you pull it.
It’s like Jenga with a touch of the King’s Game.
For example, blocks might say “Describe your ideal date” or “Give someone a lap pillow.” It’s a game that makes your heart race both because of what’s written on the blocks and because of the precarious Jenga balance.
Otter Battle
How about playing the smartphone app game “Otter Battle”? Otter Battle is a game app where two people hold a single phone from opposite ends (top and bottom) and battle it out.
You might think you’d get bored of a mobile game quickly, but Otter Battle is simple yet addictive, and it includes several mini-games.
So when you get tired of one, you can move on to the next, and then the next—there are lots of different games to enjoy.
Plus, the laid-back otter illustrations are super cute, aren’t they?
I love you game
It’s a simple yet oddly exciting game called the “I love you” game.
The rules are simple: look the other person in the eyes and just say “I love you.” You take turns saying “I love you,” and the first one to get embarrassed or laugh loses—an incredibly peaceful game.
If anything, it’s probably more embarrassing for anyone watching.
Try saying it slowly while gazing steadily into their eyes; you’ll likely find their shy reaction adorable too!
Favorite-things shiritori
When it comes to classic time-killers, shiritori is the go-to, right? It’s something kids and adults alike can play anytime, anywhere, with anyone—that’s the beauty of shiritori.
How about giving it a romantic twist and trying a couple’s version? It’s called “Things I Love About You Shiritori.” Take turns saying things you love about your partner, following the shiritori rules! Even if your boyfriend or girlfriend is usually shy and doesn’t say those kinds of things, get them to join in! Just be careful not to start a fight if someone gets stuck (lol).
corridor
Let me introduce Quoridor, a simple yet challenging and addictive board game.
You place your pawn and your opponent’s pawn on the board, and each player has 10 fences.
On your turn, you either move your pawn one space or place one of your fences.
The first player to reach the opposite side wins, but you use your fences to block your opponent’s path.
When you place a fence, you can’t move your pawn that turn.
Pawns can’t jump over fences, so you must place fences while making sure you leave yourself a path to the goal.
It’s a game you’ll end up playing over and over because it’s so engaging.
Ultimate Either-Or Game
The “ultimate either-or game” is where you ask a question with two choices and have someone pick one of them.
As the name suggests, the choices are both a bit hard to pick—ideally, you wouldn’t want to choose either—so try posing questions like that! If you’re playing as a couple, keep it light rather than serious, and make it romance-themed.
For example: “Which would you choose: a partner who doesn’t brush their teeth or a partner who doesn’t wash their hair?” It’s also fun to ask why they chose that option after they answer.
