How to play Video Call Games for Couples
- Both open this page during the call.
- Take turns reading. Anything that says 'show me' goes on camera.
- Answer at the same time where the prompt allows.
- Half an hour is a good session.
Why couples love this game
A call without a purpose defaults to a report on the day. That is fine occasionally and grim as a routine. A prompt sheet changes what the call is for, and couples who use one report much less of the awkward drifting silence.
Tips to make it more fun
- Prop the phone up — hands-free changes the whole call.
- Do something in parallel as well: eat, cook, walk.
- Screenshot the good moments.
- Save half the deck for the next call.
Frequently asked questions
What can couples do on a video call besides talk?
Play something with a shape. Show-me prompts, simultaneous answers and guessing games all work on camera, and they stop the call defaulting into a report on the day.
How long should a call game last?
About half an hour. Save the rest of the deck for the next call rather than exhausting it in one sitting.
