Questions for couples

40 this or that questions for couples

Quick picks, a word or two each. This or that questions are easy to answer and easy to get wrong about your partner. Make your pick, guess theirs, and see how well you really know each other.

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

How do you play this or that with your partner?

One of you reads a question. You both pick an answer in secret and guess the other's pick. Then reveal at the same time. Keep score of right guesses if you like.

Can we play this or that over text?

Yes. Send the question, then agree to send your pick and your guess at the same moment. It is an easy game for a quiet evening apart.

Are these good for new couples?

Yes. They're light and quick, and you learn small facts fast: window or aisle seat, early or late dinner, cats or dogs. Good for the first months together.

Can we play these in Duotone?

Yes. This list is a question pack in Duotone's Play tab. You tap your pick, guess your partner's, and see both once you've both answered. You can try the first question for free. The full pack comes with Duotone Premium.
