1. Coupled (App for Couples)

Let’s start with something that’s actually from this century - an app that turns relationship building into a game. (Because who doesn’t love mixing technology with romance? 🙄)

Coupled is your new couple care routine, it’s basically like having a relationship coach in your pocket, minus the awkward eye contact and expensive hourly rates. It’s packed with date ideas, couple quizzes, and conversation starters that range from “What’s your partner’s most annoying habit?” to “Describe your perfect date night” - you know, the real stuff.

How to Play Coupled

  1. Download the App: Start by downloading the Coupled app on both your phones. It’s available on both iOS and Android.
App icon Coupled by PumPum®
Coupled by PumPum® Rated 4.9 stars out of five stars
  1. Create Your Profiles: Set up your individual profiles with your names, cute avatars, or even a fun bio.

  2. Link Your Profiles: Connect your profiles to share the experience. It’s like being “Facebook official” but way more meaningful.

  3. Find Your Spot: Pick a cozy, interruption-free zone for uninterrupted bonding time.

Gameplay:

  1. Start Daily Talk: Open the app to discover a new Daily Talk question. These range from fun icebreakers like “What’s the weirdest thing you believed as a kid?” to deeper prompts like “What does love mean to you?”

  2. Play Fun Games: Dive into games like Would You Rather, Most Likely To, or How Well Do You Know Me? to keep things lively and learn more about each other in a playful way.

  3. Take a Quiz: Explore the relationship quizzes that target areas like communication, love languages, and conflict resolution. Use your results to reflect and grow together.

  4. Spin the Activity Wheel: Feeling indecisive? Spin the Activity Wheel to get spontaneous suggestions for activities, whether it’s a date night idea or something relaxing to do at home.

  5. Save Special Moments: Pin important dates like your anniversary or your first date. The app even sends you reminders so you’ll never miss an occasion to celebrate!

  6. Do a Weekly Checkup: Evaluate your relationship’s health together by answering questions about how things are going. It’s a simple way to address issues early and celebrate your wins.

Tips for Playing Coupled

  • Time It Right: Pick a moment when you’re both relaxed - not when one of you is hangry or doomscrolling
  • No Phone Zone: Apart from the app itself, keep phones away. Your ex’s Instagram story can wait
  • Judge-Free Zone: Create a safe space where “I secretly hate your cooking” won’t start WW3
  • Mix It Up: Switch between deep questions and lighter ones. Not every conversation needs to be about your childhood trauma
  • Location Matters: Try different settings - during a walk, over wine, or while attempting to cook dinner together

2. Never Have I Ever (Valentine’s Day Edition)

Let’s spice up this classic party game with a romantic twist! Never Have I Ever gets a whole lot juicier when you’re playing with your significant other - trust me, you’ll uncover some hilarious secrets you never knew about each other 👀

Play Never Have I Ever online

2. Learn the Rules

  1. Take Turns: Players take turns making statements about something they’ve never done.
  2. Start with “Never Have I Ever”: All statements must begin with “Never have I ever…” (e.g., “Never have I ever gone skinny-dipping”).
  3. Drink or Dare: If someone has done the thing mentioned, they either take a drink or perform a dare.
  4. Optional Scoring: Keep track of points for a little friendly competition, with the winner being the one who drinks the least (or the most adventurous, depending on how you see it!).

Valentine’s Day Ideas for Never Have I Ever:

  1. “Never have I ever sent a risky text to the wrong person”
  2. “Never have I ever stalked my crush’s ex on social media”
  3. “Never have I ever faked being sick to avoid a bad date”
  4. “Never have I ever planned our wedding before the first date”

Tips for Playing

Let’s spice up this classic party game with some relationship-building twists that’ll make it extra spicy for Valentine’s Day! 🌶️

  • Start with light-hearted topics - Think silly stuff like “Never have I ever sent a risky text to the wrong person” or “Never have I ever pretended to be asleep to avoid a conversation”
  • Create a safe space - No judgment zone here! What happens in Never Have I Ever stays in Never Have I Ever (unless it’s too funny not to share on TikTok)
  • Mix up the consequences - Not everyone’s into drinking games, so get creative! Use candy hearts, have the “guilty” person do a mini dance, or give their partner a quick kiss
  • Set boundaries beforehand - Maybe Karen doesn’t want Steve spilling about that one time in Vegas… and that’s totally cool
  • Keep the energy high - If someone’s getting too deep with their “never have I evers,” throw in a ridiculous one to lighten the mood
  • Use themed prompts - Stick to romance-related scenarios like “Never have I ever planned a surprise date” or “Never have I ever forgotten our anniversary” (yikes!) Pro tip: Create a quick “safe word” that anyone can use if a topic gets too uncomfortable. Something silly like “pineapple pizza” works perfectly! 🍕

3. Blindfolded Makeover Challenge (Valentine’s Day Edition)

Ready to unleash your inner makeup artist? Plot twist: you can’t see what you’re doing! This hilarious Valentine’s Day game turns basic makeup application into pure chaos - in the best way possible.

How to Play Blindfolded Makeover Challenge

Ready to turn your Valentine’s Day party into a hilarious mess? Here’s your step-by-step guide to the Blindfolded Makeover Challenge:

1. Prepare Your Station

  • Set Up Makeup Supplies: Arrange a variety of makeup products—foundation, eyeshadow, blush, lipstick, and anything else for maximum hilarity.
  • Grab Makeup Wipes: Trust us, you’ll need them.
  • Get a Camera Ready: You’ll want to capture these works of “art” for posterity (and laughs).

2. Get Into Position

  1. Take Seats: One partner sits in a chair, ready to be transformed.
  2. Put on a Blindfold: The other partner wears the blindfold—no peeking allowed!
  3. Check for Fair Play: Make sure the blindfold is snug; we’re watching you! 👀

3. Start the Makeover

  • Set a timer for 5 minutes and let the blindfolded partner work their “magic” with the following steps:
  1. Foundation: Aim for an even layer… or just aim for the face.
  2. Eyeshadow: Bonus points if it actually lands on the eyelids.
  3. Lipstick: Somewhere near the mouth is close enough.
  4. Blush: Sweep that “red stuff” wherever inspiration strikes.

4. Switch Roles

  • Fresh Start: Wipe off the masterpiece and swap roles.
  • New Blindfold: Keep it clean—sharing is caring, but not for blindfolds.

5. The Big Reveal

  1. Stand together in front of a mirror.
  2. Count down from 3…
  3. Brace yourselves for the “artistic” results and a lot of laughter!

Pro Tip: Want to spice things up? Add random items like paint brushes or craft supplies to the makeup collection. Nothing says “I love you” like accidentally applying glitter glue instead of foundation!

Bonus Challenge: Try doing this with non-dominant hands for extra chaos. Because if you’re gonna look ridiculous, might as well go all out!

Remember: The worse you look at the end, the better the story will be for your Instagram feed. #ValentinesFails #RelationshipGoals #NailedIt

This interactive bonding experience hits different when you’re discovering who your friends think would sell their partner’s gaming console for a designer purse. Just remember - what happens during Most Likely To stays in Most Likely To (unless it’s too funny not to share on the group chat later).

Bonus tip: Record everyone’s reactions for prime blackmail material later. Kidding! (Or are we?) 😈

8. Scavenger Hunt (Valentine’s Day Edition)

Ready to turn your home into a love-filled treasure hunt? This isn’t your basic hide-and-seek – it’s time to level up your romance game! 🔍

How to Play Scavenger Hunt

  1. Set Up Your Clue Cards Start by creating 10-15 clue cards. Each card should lead your partner to the next hidden surprise. Hide small gifts, love notes, or treats at each location and place the first clue somewhere obvious, like on their pillow or near their favorite coffee mug.

  2. Create Meaningful Clues Write clues that refer to personal moments in your relationship or significant spots in your home. For example, “Your next clue is where we shared our first home-cooked meal together” or “Look where the morning light hits your favorite coffee mug.” Get creative and use your shared memories to make the clues feel special.

  3. Add Fun Elements Spice up the hunt by including photos from your relationship at each location or hiding mini chocolates or candy hearts along the way. To make it even more fun, use inside jokes, playful references, and even some silly poetry to make the clues extra entertaining. Don’t forget to toss in some emojis or quirky riddles for a personalized touch.

  4. Hide the Clues in Creative Locations Think outside the box when deciding where to hide the clues. Place them under their pillow, inside their coffee mug, or tape them to the bathroom mirror. You can also hide clues in the fridge, next to their favorite snacks, or in their gaming setup for a more personal twist.

  5. Choose Meaningful Rewards Pick rewards that your partner will love, such as concert tickets, a favorite takeout gift card, or a coupon book filled with fun favors for future date nights. If you’ve been paying attention, you could even surprise them with something they’ve been hinting at for months.

  6. Set the Mood with Extras To make the hunt extra special, create a themed playlist for background music and use candles or fairy lights to set a cozy atmosphere. You could leave a trail of rose petals leading to each clue or text them hints along the way to keep the excitement building. For added pressure, set a time limit for each clue to make it more challenging and keep the energy up.

  7. Enjoy the Moment Once all the clues have been solved and the rewards are discovered, enjoy the fun moments you’ve created together. Remember, the best part of the hunt is the time you spend making memories and showing your partner how much you care.

Pro tip: Don’t make the clues too hard unless you want to spend Valentine’s Day watching your partner have an existential crisis in the kitchen.

11. Bingo (Valentine’s Day Edition)

Let’s spice up the classic game of Bingo with a romantic twist that’ll have you and your partner screaming “BINGO!” faster than you can say “Be mine!” 🎯

12. I Spy (Valentine’s Day Edition)

Ready to level up your observation skills with a romantic twist? This Valentine’s Day version of I Spy will have you looking at your space (and maybe your partner) in a whole new way!

How to Play I Spy

Picture this: You’re sitting in a cozy room decorated with heart-shaped balloons, rose petals, and all that mushy Valentine’s stuff. One person starts by saying, “I spy with my little eye, something…” and describes an object in the room using:

  • Color
  • Shape
  • Size
  • Texture
  • First letter (optional)

But here’s the catch - everything you spot needs to fit the Valentine’s Day theme! Think:

  • Red and pink items
  • Heart-shaped objects
  • Romantic decorations
  • Gifts you’ve exchanged
  • Photos of you two

Your partner gets three chances to guess the item correctly. If they succeed, they win a point and a kiss (or whatever reward you decide on 😉). If they fail, you get the point - and maybe still give them that kiss, because why not?

Tips for Playing

Here are some tips to make your charades game even more fun:

  1. Choose the Right Location: Find a place with enough room to move around freely. You don’t want to accidentally break something while acting out a scene.
  2. Use Props: Get creative with Valentine’s Day items like heart-shaped balloons or boxes of chocolates. They can add an extra element of surprise to your charades!
  3. Set a Time Limit: Keep each round to 60 seconds. It may seem tempting to give your partner more time, but trust us, watching them struggle for too long isn’t as entertaining as it sounds.
  4. Keep Score: Add some friendly competition by keeping track of points. Give bonus points for especially unique performances.
  5. Mix Up the Difficulty: Alternate between easy and difficult phrases. Start with something simple like “First Kiss” before challenging them with “Romeo and Juliet’s Entire Plot.”
  6. No Talking Allowed: Stick to the classic rule of charades - no speaking! Remember, even if you’re trying to be funny or cute, any whispers will be considered cheating.

And most importantly, have fun! The sillier you act, the more enjoyable it will be for everyone involved. There’s nothing quite like seeing your partner hilariously try to act out “Titanic” in front of your friends!
