Remember those early weeks in your relationship when all you wanted was to be close to each other and discover every detail of each other’s lives? While it’s natural for that initial excitement to fade, incorporating relationship games can reignite that spark and bring back the thrill.
No matter how long you've been together, fun doesn't have to fade. Maintaining a playful attitude and engaging in lighthearted activities can rekindle intimacy and deepen your connection.
As the saying goes, intimacy starts long before the bedroom. It’s the playfulness, the genuine connection, and the nurturing of each other’s emotional needs that truly fuel intimacy.
Here are some wholesome games to enjoy with your partner to strengthen your bond and keep the fun alive.
# Twenty QuestionsThis classic game is perfect for deepening intimacy. The rules are simple: you and your partner take turns asking each other questions, committing to honesty in your answers. It’s often played in text conversations, during casual hangouts, or even over drinks.
Playing this game with your partner can help you both learn more about each other. For a more daring twist, you could ask more personal or even intimate questions like, “Have you ever faked an orgasm?” or “What’s one secret you haven’t told me?”
Just remember to keep the game lighthearted and avoid sensitive topics like past disagreements or infidelity.
# Chore WheelTurn your weekend cleaning into a fun game! If neither of you looks forward to household chores, a chore wheel can add excitement. Create or purchase a spinning wheel, write down various chores (like taking out the trash or cleaning the bathroom), and take turns spinning to see who does what.
To add some competition, whoever finishes first gets to pick the movie for the night or choose what’s for dinner.
# Roll the DiceGet a pair of dice and a piece of paper. In one column, write down 12 fun actions (e.g., kiss, tickle, bite, sing), and in the other, list different locations or body parts (e.g., bathroom, ear, kitchen).
Each of you rolls the dice, then performs the action paired with the location. This game adds a playful twist to your relationship, and it’s bound to lead to an unforgettable night!
# Relationship HangmanThis is a personalized version of the classic hangman game, but with words or phrases that relate to your relationship. For example, if you want your partner to guess “Bahamas” because it’s where you had your honeymoon, you’d draw seven boxes.
To make it more fun, assign a consequence for losing, like doing the dishes or giving a 10-minute massage.
# Cook-OffYou don’t need to be a master chef to enjoy this game! Host a friendly cook-off with your partner, competing over dishes, desserts, or even cocktails. You can invite friends or family over to taste your creations and declare a winner.
It’s a fun way to bond while being competitive, and you get to enjoy delicious food in the process!
# One Word, One AnswerThis game is similar to Twenty Questions, but with a focus on reminiscing. Start with one word, and the other person responds with another, building a sentence together. It’s a great way to recall shared memories and milestones in your relationship.
# Scrabble with a TwistTake the classic Scrabble game and spice it up by adding truth or dare. Whenever one of you finishes a word, you get to ask a truth or give a dare, including more intimate or daring ones. It makes the game more exciting and memorable.
# KaraokeYou can never go wrong with karaoke! While not typically considered a relationship game, it’s a fun way to bond. You don’t need a karaoke machine—just sing acapella or use a karaoke app. To make it more competitive, invite friends over to judge who’s the better singer.
You can even make it a full night with a few drinks for added fun.
# Sexy Truth or DareThis version of truth or dare involves printing out sexy questions and dares, placing them in two jars, and drawing them during the game. Ask questions like, “What do I do that turns you on?” or daring challenges like, “Give me a lap dance.”
# Naked Hide and SeekPlay hide and seek with a twist—strip down and search for each other in the house. The rush of excitement can lead to a fun and intimate encounter.
# Blindfold Guessing GameBlindfold your partner and have them guess what you place in their mouth. It could be food, your finger, or anything else. This game builds trust and is sure to bring laughter and connection.
# Staring ContestWhen was the last time you shared a long, meaningful gaze with your partner? A staring contest can create a powerful sense of intimacy. Staring into each other’s eyes for more than ten seconds can be deeply emotional—and who knows where it might lead?
# Sexy TwisterAdd a sexy spin to Twister by playing it naked or with clothes on but stripping as the game progresses. The physical proximity and playful nature make it one of the most fun relationship games.
# Never Have I EverThis classic drinking game can be just as fun between two people. Each of you says something you’ve never done (preferably sexual), and if the other person has done it, they take a shot. The alcohol and playful revelations add a flirty, wild twist to the night.
# Strip Poker
Strip poker is a popular way to blend fun and intimacy. Make sure the game is fair by assigning each piece of clothing to a certain number of chips. To make it more enjoyable, you can also pair it with some drinks for a fun, laid-back evening.
