Take turns, ask anything, answer honestly
21 Questions Game for Couples
The 21 questions game is simple: one person asks twenty-one questions and the other answers honestly, then you switch. It is a classic for texting, road trips and slow nights in, because it turns curiosity into a game.
To make it easier, we have prepared rounds of twenty-one questions by theme. Pick a round, take turns, and allow one pass per player for a question you would rather skip. The best rounds end with a question you both want to answer.
How to play 21 questions
