Why couples love this game

Frequently asked questions
How does the song lyric challenge work?
You text your partner song lyrics one line at a time, spaced out like ordinary messages, and see how many you get away with before they notice. Each round gives you a theme.
What is a good score?
Four or five lines is respectable. Anything past eight means either you chose very well or your partner is not reading their messages.
