Can you open your eyes at the same time?

A game to measure how in sync we are #couple #internationalcouple #couplevideo #couplegame #couplelife

Let’s see if your hearts are in sync.

Even without locking eyes, can you feel each other—can you open your eyes at the same time? It’s a simple psychology game perfect for couples.

The rules are easy: face each other, close your eyes, and open them simultaneously when it “feels right” in your heart.

That’s all—but somehow it makes your heart race and brings out smiles.

Can feelings be conveyed without words? Or are your inner timings surprisingly out of sync? The moment your eyes meet, you’ll share a laugh and create a tender little moment.

No props or prep needed, so it’s perfect for a date, at home, or while you’re waiting around.

Try this simple yet profound communication game that lets you feel each other’s “inner rhythm.”

The “Don’t Say ◯◯” game

I’ll introduce a game where you’re not allowed to say a specific word—the “Don’t say XX” game.

First, choose a questioner and a responder, then start the game.

The responder talks with the questioner, but must not say the designated word.

The questioner should guide the conversation in a way that makes the responder unconsciously want to say it.

Using words that people tend to use unconsciously in everyday conversation makes it harder and more fun.

Set a time limit for each round and switch roles when someone goes out; it really livens things up.

staring contest

Many of us probably played ‘staring contests’ when we were kids.

It’s a simple game where you face each other and try to make the other person laugh, but in fact it’s a very deep form of communication.

By gazing intently at each other’s expressions, laughter naturally bubbles up and you’re wrapped in a relaxed atmosphere.

Even without words, you feel connected, and those little moments when a tiny gesture or change in expression makes you burst out laughing are part of the charm.

This familiar game turns ordinary time into something special and brings hearts closer together—why not give it a try as a couple?

Couple Challenge

Here’s a couple’s challenge that looks simple but is surprisingly tricky.

First, sit facing each other in a tucked sitting position (knees drawn up).

Next, hold both hands.

Finally, if you can thread your legs inside your joined arms and lift them so that the soles of your feet press together, you’ve succeeded.

It may seem straightforward, but if there’s a height difference or one of you is less flexible, pulling it off can be quite difficult.

The key is to sync your breathing, carefully time your movements, and maintain balance.

Couples who want to savor that sense of accomplishment when you nail it—give it a try!

Gorilla Game

If you’re a couple looking for a unique, laugh-out-loud game, try this Gorilla Game! The rules are super simple.

First, face each other in a push-up position.

Using your head or hands, poke or tickle your partner to throw them off balance—the one who makes the other lose balance wins.

It’s not just physical; it also calls for strategy and quick reflexes, adding a touch of thrill.

The natural physical contact helps bring you closer, and before you know it, you’ll both be smiling.

All you need is a bit of open space to start playing right away, so if you want to have fun together, definitely give it a try!

Pose Matching Game

If you want to test perfectly in-sync teamwork as a couple, the “Pose Matching Game” is a great pick! It’s super simple to play: once you hear the prompt, both of you strike a fitting pose at the exact same time on the count of three.

Choosing slightly quirky themes like “zombie,” “idol,” or “just woke up” makes it even more fun.

The charm of this game is that it’s exciting whether your poses match—yay!—or don’t—hilarious! Anyone can start right away, and since it gets you moving, it’s perfect for a quick mood boost.

The more in sync you are, the more the energy builds, naturally bringing you closer.

It’s a laugh-filled communication game that’s perfect for couples.

Trust Game

Here’s a trust game you can do anywhere.

First, stand facing each other and hold both hands.

Then, at the same time, slowly bend your knees as if you’re sitting down on a chair.

If you can squat down without either of you falling or landing on your butt, it’s a big success! Because you need to sense each other’s movements and adjust your strength while keeping balance, trust and breathing together are key points.

As you support each other, you’ll feel closer, with a bit of a thrill too.

Whether you succeed or fail, this game is sure to be lively—give it a try!
