Date night can be so much fun, whether it's a new relationship or you've been together for 20 years. It’s a special time to be together, share meaningful moments, and maybe learn (or re-learn) something about your partner. What you choose to do on your date can have a big impact on how intimate, romantic, or memorable the night may be. We’ve put together a list of suggestions to help you create an unforgettable evening!

Couples Card Games

First up is a curated selection of couples card games. There are many versions to choose from, with options ranging from VERY SPICY to more thought-provoking and intimate experiences. Pick the mood you’re aiming for and select a deck or two to set the tone for your date night. These games are a fantastic way to explore, connect, and find a rhythm with your partner.

• Risky Couples
• Risk it or Drink
• Servd
• Talking Hearts

Board Games

This category is a bit broader, covering many classic games that are great for date night. Here are a few top picks:

• Cards Against Humanity
• Monopoly
• Risk
• Twister
• Poker, Blackjack, or Various Card Games

Try adding a twist to make the classics a bit more exciting! Maybe play Twister with clothing restrictions, or assign a funny consequence for every lost hand of cards. You don’t have to follow the official rules; instead, let your own creativity turn a cozy night in into a fun and unforgettable memory!

Two-Player Video Games

Board games are wonderful, but sometimes a faster pace or a virtual option fits better—especially if your date night is online or on-the-go. Playing a video game together is a fantastic way to spend time with your partner. You might not get as much physical connection or the chance to look into each other’s eyes, but you’ll share plenty of laughs and exciting moments. For added fun, you can add a twist: in a game like Overcooked, the lowest performer after each round has to answer a question or reveal a secret.

• It Takes Two
• Overcooked
• Stardew Valley (Pelican Town)

Sports

This one’s for those who love the outdoors and staying active. If sitting at home for hours isn’t your style, then grab your partner and head to a local basketball court, soccer field, or any open space to enjoy a little friendly competition. Take turns playing a game like H.O.R.S.E or modify a sport to create a 1-on-1 showdown. Getting active can elevate your heart rates, spark chemistry, and reveal how your partner handles a bit of friendly competition.

Some great sports for 1-on-1 play or teamwork include:

• Basketball
• Soccer
• Field Hockey
• Rock Climbing
• Kayaking

Arcade

Finally, the arcade is a timeless classic for first dates or any night out when you’re craving something more interactive than dinner and drinks. Arcades offer plenty of options to embrace the competitive spirit, whether you want to go head-to-head or join forces to beat a high score or campaign. This is especially great for new couples who want to see if their partner enjoys a challenge, a relaxed experience, or simply likes supporting you while you take on the game!

Whatever you choose, remember that the best part of date night is spending time together, laughing, and creating memories. Try a new activity, add your own twist, and make it an experience that brings you closer.
