Fun Challenges For Couples

You can play these games whenever you feel bored. They guarantee unlimited fun. The only thing you shouldn’t do is tease or embarrass your partner.

1. Paint me

It is a creative challenge for a couple. Mutually agree upon a design that you can draw within a time limit. Then, select a part on your partner’s body where you will draw. The one who draws the design most accurately in the given time wins the challenge.

2. Smell and guess

Be prepared to tickle your partner’s senses with this challenge.

Blindfold your partner. Keep an item near their nose and ask them to smell it. They can sniff a couple of times before they guess what it is. If they guess correctly, they win a point. However, if they can’t guess within a minute, the round stalemates and no one gets a point. Out of three rounds, the one with the maximum correct guesses wins the challenge.

3. Jenga

Jenga is a block game in which pieces of blocks are stacked one above the other. Start by removing one block from the lower end and place it over the topmost floor of the tower. You have to do it with one hand, without disturbing the structure. However, if a player finds themselves at an impasse and cannot remove a block without toppling the tower, they may forfeit their turn and pass it to the next player. The game continues until someone drops the tower while pulling out a block, at which point they lose the game and must face a penalty.

4. Two people, one body

It is an ideal challenge for a double date. A couple has to fit into one t-shirt or piece of clothing while sticking one hand from each side. However, if there is a disagreement or argument between the couple during the challenge, they will be penalized and must start the task again from the beginning. For instance, do jumping jacks or transfer something heavy from one place to another. The couple that completes maximum challenges first wins this challenge.

5. Staring contest

It is the easiest and quickest game on the list. Stare at each other for as long as you can without blinking. The one who blinks first loses and has to face a penalty.

6. Make me laugh

One of the most difficult challenges is to make your partner laugh in a pre-decided time.

You can do anything except tickle or touch them. You can act funny or show them videos or photos or anything that can make them crack up and gain you a point. Out of five rounds, the one with maximum points wins. However, if either partner has any personal or emotional issues that may make them uncomfortable or unwilling to participate, the challenge should be discontinued immediately.

7. Emoji face

The one who uses lots of emojis in their text messages is likely to win this challenge. Start by making an emoji face, and let your partner make another emoji face. You have to keep doing it until one of you cannot make an emoji face. The one who gives up first loses the challenge.

8. Know me better

You both have to fill in a set of questions and then guess your partner’s answer to the questions you answered. The one with the maximum correct answers wins the challenge. It is a simple game that tells you how much you know each other’s habits, preferences, likes, and dislikes.
