How to play Couples Game Night

- Play each game for about ten minutes, then move on.
- Keep a score across the whole evening if you want a winner.
- Stop when it peaks rather than pushing to the end.
Why couples love this game
The order matters more than the games. Starting with something that requires honesty kills the evening; starting with something silly and building to it works every time. That is the only real skill in running a game night.
Tips to make it more fun
- Do not start with anything that requires honesty. Warm up first.
- Ten minutes per game, then move on regardless.
- Have drinks and food out before you start.
- Stopping while everyone still wants more is how you get a second game night.
Frequently asked questions
How do you run a couples game night?
In an order rather than at random. Start with something fast and silly, build through the competitive games, and finish quiet — starting with anything requiring honesty kills the evening before it begins.
How long should each game last?
About ten minutes, then move on regardless of whether it is finished. Stopping while people still want more is what gets you a second game night.
