Make your couple calls more fun! Games for two to hype things up (1–10)
Introducing someone else
“Tako-shokai” (introducing someone else) means introducing the other person instead of yourself.
Most people have experience with this—like introducing an acquaintance to a friend or introducing a partner to your family—but it usually only lasts a brief moment, right? This time, try introducing the other person in detail.
By doing so, it will convey how you feel about your partner and what aspects draw you to them.
It’s a perfect idea for deepening your relationship, so couples, please give it a try.
Tongue Twister Showdown
Tongue twisters are an easy game for couples to enjoy.
The goal is to say tricky phrases quickly and accurately.
If you can say them without mistakes, you succeed; if you slip up, try again.
Start with short, simple phrases and gradually move on to longer, more difficult ones.
Repeating them—such as saying them three times in a row instead of once—makes it more challenging.
Tongue twisters are also often used as training by announcers.
How accurately can you say them without making a mistake?
Ten Times Game
The 10-times game—you played it when you were a kid, right? It’s one of those games that everyone gets into at least once in childhood.
It’s super simple, and even if you think, “I won’t be fooled!” you still get tricked.
Like in the 10-times quiz: “Say ‘chandelier’ ten times.” Then they ask, “Who ate the poisoned apple?” and you can’t help but answer “Cinderella!” But the correct answer is Snow White.
If you think for a moment, you’ll get it, but this game often trips you up.
Don’t dismiss it as silly—try it once.
You’ll see how fun silly things can be!

Games of all ages and places
The Yamanote Line game and the Koko-n Tozai game are party-game classics.
They’re based on a game where you name Yamanote Line stations in rhythm, one by one, and you’re out if you can’t answer, miss the beat, or repeat something that’s already been said.
The prompt doesn’t have to be Yamanote Line stations—it’s a game where you take turns naming things that fit the given theme.
For example, “names of birds” or “names of prefectures”—there are endless themes.
But when you play it with just two people, it can be surprisingly hard to get the energy up.
Still, the heated back-and-forth of words can be its own kind of fun.
Personality test
A psychological test that judges personality and way of thinking by choosing from multiple illustrations or answering questions.
It’s a game used at various events, but you can also play it over the phone with a partner you can’t meet in person.
Prepare in advance with psychology test books, websites, or apps, then read the prompts aloud and ask the questions over the phone.
If the other person can do a video call, it’s also nice to give tests that use illustrations.
It’s a simple game of answering questions, but it can be a chance to discover unexpected sides of the other person.
Lovers Quiz
The “Lovers’ Quiz” lets you find out whether you truly understand each other—or not at all! As the name suggests, it’s a quiz game where you ask questions about yourselves and each other, and if your answers match, it’s a win.
For example, asking “What is something I want right now?”—questions that you’ve been dropping hints about in everyday life—can really liven things up.
But if the wrong answers keep piling up, the mood might get a little tense…
I love you game
A simple game where you just tell the other person, “I love you.” By using your facial expressions and tone of voice to shake their emotions and expression, the rule that whoever laughs loses can lead to unexpected excitement.
You can enjoy it over voice calls, and of course on video calls too.
It might even become a chance to deepen your bond.
How about enjoying a little psychological battle while expressing your feelings for each other? It’s sure to make a wonderful memory.
