12 date night games for couples to play tonight

Romantic games to start the night

1. Two truths and a fantasy

Take turns sharing three statements about yourself: two true, one a secret fantasy. Your partner guesses which is which. You’ll learn something new either way.

2. The first-date replay

Recreate your first date at home. Same food, same music, same questions. Then talk about what you were really thinking at the time.

3. 36 questions

Work through the famous 36 questions designed to build closeness, finishing with four minutes of silent eye contact. It’s more powerful than it sounds.

4. Love letter swap

Set a ten-minute timer and each write a short letter to the other. Read them aloud. Keep them somewhere safe.

Playful games for two

5. Blindfold taste test

Blindfold your partner and feed them small bites of chocolate, fruit or anything else in the kitchen. Every correct guess earns a kiss.

6. Couples trivia

Write ten questions about yourself. Your partner scores a point for each right answer. The loser plans the next date.

7. Slow dance roulette

Shuffle a playlist and slow dance to whatever comes on, even if it’s completely the wrong song. Especially if it’s the wrong song.

8. Massage lottery

Write different massage types on slips of paper (shoulders, feet, scalp, back). Draw one each and take turns.

9. The couples card game

Our online couples card game deals personalised dares from a shuffled deck. Pick Tease to stay romantic or add Heat and Fire as the night goes on.

10. HornyCup sex dice

HornyCup rolls three dice for an action, a body part and a time. With over 3,000 combinations, it never gets old.

11. Strip trivia

Use your couples trivia questions from game six, but every wrong answer costs one item of clothing.

12. Yes, no, maybe

Each write a private list of things you’d like to try, marking every item yes, no or maybe. Compare lists and only talk about the matches. It’s a low-pressure way to discover shared fantasies.

Tips for a great game night

• Set the scene. Dim the lights, light a candle and put your notifications on silent.
• Start slow. Begin with romantic games and build up. Anticipation is half the fun.
• Agree on a safe word. Either partner can stop or skip anything, any time.
• Laugh. If a game falls flat, that’s part of the fun. Move on to the next one.
