How to play would you rather as a couple
You can simply take turns asking questions, but a little structure can make it even more fun.
- Explain your answer. The rule that makes this game great: no answer counts without a "because." The reasoning is where you learn about each other.
- Guess first. Before your partner answers, predict their choice. Score a point for each correct guess.
- Make it a road trip game. Alternate questions every few miles to make long drives fly by.
- Write your own. After a few rounds, invent questions based on your shared life and inside jokes.
- Turn it into a date night. Pair the game with dinner or dessert, and let the winner pick the next date.
Tip: Mix light and deep questions. Start with fun ones to warm up, sprinkle in a few deeper questions once you're relaxed, then end on something silly so the night finishes with a laugh.
Keep it fun and kind
Would you rather questions can occasionally touch a nerve. A few ground rules keep the game playful:
- No judging answers, even surprising ones. Curiosity beats criticism.
- Either person can skip a question, no explanation needed.
- If a question opens up something serious, it's okay to pause the game and talk, or to agree to revisit it later.
