2. Guess what’s real by playing two truths and a lie 

“Two truths and a lie” is a classic icebreaker game where players make two truthful statements about themselves, along with a single lie. But it’s anyone’s guess which statement is the lie. It’s another fun way to see how well you and your partner know each other compared to your friends. 

3. Pull out your NES for Mario Kart team races 

Do you and your partner have a competitive streak? Here’s a couple’s game night idea that’s perfect for gamers. Grab your Nintendo Switch and Joycons, then have everyone compete in a Mario Kart tournament to see which couple reigns supreme. You’ll get to go toe to toe with your friends and see if your relationship can survive the blue shell. 

Keep the retro gamer vibes going by renting a classic arcade near you on Peerspace. Find one with Mario Kart, neon signs, tasty food and drinks, and prepare for an epic battle! For instance, our friends in the Atlanta area can book this retro arcade with 40+ games in Lithia Springs. The friendly host has it rigged so you can play COIN FREE for as many hours as you rent the space!

This couple’s game night idea is for the nerds! Gather your friends and host a one-shot D&D session. You can find D&D campaigns designed for couples or small groups online, or come up with your own campaign to get the dice rolling. Who knows, if your friends enjoy themselves enough, long-term couples’ D&D sessions could be in your future! 

Need the perfect setting to bring your D&D tourny to life? Then you need to see The Red Drake Inn! It’s a Medieval-themed space in Glendale, CA that a Peerspace reviewer has described as: “An incredible location, beautiful decorated with incredible vibes! Host was incredible responsive and informative, highly recommend!”

5. Go no frills with a couples’ card games

Card games are a classic game night staple. For your couple’s game night session, try playing a game designed for teams of two, like kemps.

6. Suss out the imposter with an Among Us competition 

Here’s one of those great couples game night ideas for remote get-togethers. Play a couple’s game of Among Us with your friends via voice chat. 

In Among Us, the goal is for players to figure out who “the imposter” is and vote them out before they wipe out the rest of the crew. You’ll discover if you and your partner are capable of fooling each other or not. And if you play with two imposters, then there’s a chance you’ll get to be partners in crime! 

7. Show off your nimbleness with couple’s Twister 

Who says Twister is just for the kids? Break out a Twister mat, and have each couple compete as a team. Each player earns one point for winning a round. The couple with the most cumulative points by the end of the game wins! It’s a nostalgic classic that’s awesome if you and your friends have known each other since you were kids. 

8. Get decadent with a couples’ bake-off

Have each couple compete on a team to see who can create the most delicious treat. You could have each team offer a unique take on a classic dessert, or give everyone the same recipe and see who can recreate it. 

No matter who wins, it’s a fun and tasty twist on your couple’s game night. And it would be even more fun when you host at a venue with a well-equipped kitchen. On Peerspace, you can easily book a well-equipped kitchen space that also serves all of your aesthetic needs.

Serious bakers should consider booking this bright SoHo kitchen loft in New York City. It’s a private space that combines a commercial kitchen with a colorful loft space, making it perfect for events that feature cooking and baking.

A Peerspace reviewer who booked their event here shares: “The best. So many compliments from our event guests on this space. It is fully equipped, impeccably clean, well appointed, and attractive.”

9. You’re never too old to play Never Have I Ever 

Never Have I Ever is a classic party game that allows you to relive some of your most cringe-worthy experiences. It’s even more laughable when you and your partner play as a team against your friends. You can come up with your own “never have I ever” statements for the game, or play with a card game to get you started. 

10. Play a customized version of Grocery Dash 

Head to a grocery store, and split each couple up. Have everyone pick their partner’s favorite items – like their favorite drink, favorite snack, or something that reminds them of their partner. When time is up, everyone can see how well they know their partners – and hopefully, you’ll get some of your favorite treats to enjoy together. 

11. It’s time for Family Feud!

This couple’s night game idea puts a spin on a classic game show. Split your friends into two teams and have them compete in an at-home version of Family Feud. You could have each couple compete on the same team, or split them apart for a more interesting competition.
