The best would you rather questions for couples do one simple thing. Each one gives you two choices and asks you to pick, and the pick almost always turns into a story.
There are no points and no wrong answers in this game. All you need is a few minutes and a partner who is ready to laugh.
This list has 75 questions in five moods, from silly and funny to sweet, flirty, and deep. Play in person, on a long drive, or over text when you are apart.
When you want to slow down and talk about bigger things, try our deep questions for couples next. Tonight, though, keep it light and start with question one.
How to Play Would You Rather as a Couple
- Take turns asking the questions, so both of you get a turn in the hot seat.
- Both partners answer every question, even the one who asked it.
- Always ask why after a pick, because the reason is the best part.
- Anyone can pass on a question, no questions asked.
- Five to ten questions per session is plenty, so stop while you still want more.
Save the questions that get the best reactions from your partner. Write them on slips of paper and drop them into your date night jar for the next round.
