How it works

One half of a pair predicts what the other will say, and every match scores a point. These 205 how well do you know each other questions run from who made the first move to who takes out the trash.

Read the full guide

Three cards out of the room, then swap

Each couple is a team: Team 1 or Team 2. One partner from each couple leaves the room. Read three cards to those who stayed and write down each prediction. Call the others back, ask the same three, and press +1 on the end card for every match. Then swap roles. With one couple, both write and reveal together.

Ten sets for couples, three for other pairs

Ten sets are for couples, from How you met to the Anniversary set: "What was the weather like on your wedding day?" Three change the wording: Pairs of friends, Family pairs ("What dish does your relative always bring to a family meal?") and Coworker pairs, fit for an office.

  • Write predictions on index cards and hold them up together. A spoken answer can drift after the reveal.
  • At an anniversary party, one of the couple's oldest friends reads the cards and keeps score.
  • Save Hard cards such as "What would your partner say is your most annoying habit?" until both halves are laughing.

Questions and answers

Are these the questions from the TV shows?

No. Every question is original, and this site is not affiliated with the game sold as The Newlywed Game, with the British show Mr and Mrs, or with anyone who owns those names. Only the idea is shared: one half predicts the other's answer.

Which questions are fair to score in this game?

Ones with a short answer the other half can confirm: a place, a name, a dish. The funny questions work the same way, because the laugh comes from the mismatch: "What song does your partner get the words wrong to?"

Is the deck clean enough for a church group?

Yes. Nothing is sexual, and no card asks about former partners, money, bodies or alcohol, so it suits a church couples' night or a family reunion. If a card feels too personal, press Next card.
