Questions for new couples

Early on, the fun is in the small things: their go-to snack, their alarm habits, their favorite season. These questions are light enough for the first weeks.

Who it's for: For couples in their first months, or for a second or third date.

How to play

  1. One of you taps Start a room and sends the 5-letter code. The other opens the link on their own phone.
  2. A question appears on both screens. If it's about one of you, that person answers honestly and the other guesses.
  3. Neither of you can see the other's answer. When you've both locked in, the screens count down together and flip.
  4. Matching answers score a point, close ones score half. After ten questions you get a match score you can save as an image.
