Games for Long Distance Couples
Same game, two cities, one phone call.
8 games · all free · no signup
Long-distance games have one design constraint the rest of the site does not: they have to work when you cannot pass the phone.
Everything in this category runs off one person reading aloud on a video call, or over text with no call at all. Nothing here needs you to be in the same room, hand anything over, or touch each other to score a point.
What are games for long distance couples?
Games for long distance couples work over a video call or text with no shared screen — Long Distance Questions, Long Distance Truth or Dare, The Texting Game, and Long Distance Bingo are built for it. One person reads the prompt aloud or pastes it into chat, and you both answer. All are free and need no app.

Frequently asked questions
What games can long distance couples play over FaceTime?
Any of the question-based ones, plus Truth or Dare, Would You Rather, and Most Likely To. One of you opens the game and reads each card out — the other never needs the link. Look for the 🌍 marker on any card to confirm it works remotely.
What games can you play over text?
The Texting Game is written specifically for it: every prompt is short enough to send as a single message and needs no live reply. Would You Rather and Never Have I Ever also work well because a delayed answer does not break them.
Do we both need the site open?
No. One phone is enough. If you both want your own cards, open the same game on both devices — there is nothing to sync and no room to join.
