Questions for couples

25 long-distance relationship questions

Distance changes what you talk about. These questions are about missing each other, your next visit and the life you'll share in one place. Answer them on a call, by text or in a voice note.

How to play

  1. Answer on your own

    Pick a question. You each answer without seeing the other's answer. Write it down or keep it in your head.

  2. Guess your partner's answer

    Before you share, guess what your partner said. On pick-one questions, guess which option they chose.

  3. Reveal together

    Share both answers at the same time. See who guessed right, then talk about why.

Duotone's Play tab works the same way. You each answer on your own phone, guess your partner's pick, and see both answers once you've both answered.

Frequently asked questions

What should long-distance couples talk about?

Talk about your days in detail, your next visit and what life will look like in one place. Small details matter more when you are apart: what your room looks like, what you ate, what made you laugh.

How do you play these questions over the phone?

Pick a question and both type your answer without sending it. Guess what the other one wrote. Then send at the same time and talk about it.

Are these only for long-distance couples?

Most are written for couples who live apart. A few, like a meal you want to cook together or a memory you keep replaying, work for any couple who spends time apart, even for a week.

Can we play these in Duotone?

Yes. This list is a question pack in Duotone's Play tab. You each answer on your own phone, wherever you are, and see both answers once you've both answered. You can try the first question for free. The full pack comes with Duotone Premium.
