Couple Quiz: 60 Questions to Test How Well You Know Each Other

Sixty questions, and the scoring is the fun part. Each of you writes down your own answers privately, then takes turns guessing what the other one put. A point for every match. It takes about half an hour and somebody is always more confident than they should be.

You need two pieces of paper, or just two notes apps. Nothing to install beyond that.

Scoring

• 50–60: suspiciously attentive. Well done.
• 35–49: normal, and better than most couples manage.
• 20–34: you have found this evening’s conversation.
• Under 20: go through the ones you missed. That is the actual game.

The last five are worth going back to properly whatever your score, because they are the only ones where being wrong genuinely matters.
