Once you have finished 2 Player Games: The Challenge together, the hard part is finding the next one. Co-op games that genuinely need two people are rarer on mobile than the store makes it look. These are the ones we would actually hand to a couple next.
What made 2 Player Games: The Challenge work
Worth naming, because it is the thing to match: it gave each of you information the other did not have, so the game only moved forward when you talked. Any decent alternative has to do the same β a game where you both see the same screen and press the same buttons is a solo game with an audience.
