How do you play How Well Do You Know Your Partner??
How Well Do You Know Your Partner is a quiz where one partner guesses the other's answer out loud before it is revealed, scoring a point for each correct guess. Players swap after every question across 40 questions. It takes 15 to 25 minutes, works in person or over video call, and is free with no signup.
How to play
- Pick who guesses first. That person reads the question and says their guess out loud.
- The other partner reveals their real answer.
- Tap Correct or Wrong. Be honest — "well, sort of" is a wrong.
- Swap after every question so you each guess an equal number.
- Play the whole deck and compare final scores.
Why couples love this game
Because it is a genuinely fair test and nobody believes that until they play. The questions are small on purpose — small things are what you notice when you are actually paying attention, and they are impossible to fake. The score at the end is one of the few honest numbers a relationship game can produce.
This is the game everyone is confident about and nobody wins convincingly. One of you guesses what the other will say, then they reveal the real answer. Right guess, point. Wrong guess, a small silence.
The questions are deliberately not the ones you would put on a wedding quiz. Anyone can name a birthday. Far fewer can name the thing their partner always orders, the friend they complain about most, or what they were actually worried about last month.
Most couples land somewhere between 60 and 75 percent. Long-term couples do not reliably score higher than new ones — they just guess with more confidence.
Example questions
- What would they say is their most-used app after messaging?
- What do they always order at their favourite restaurant?
- Which friend do they complain about most?
- What was the last thing that genuinely made them laugh out loud?
- What is their most irrational fear?
- What would they spend £500 on right now with no guilt?
The full game has 40 of these, shuffled every time you play.
Who this game is best for
- Couples who are convinced they know everything about each other
- Anniversaries and long-term relationships
- Video calls — nothing here needs you in the same room
- Anyone who likes keeping score
Tips to make it better
- Say your guess out loud before they answer. Guessing silently and then claiming you had it right is not a game.
- No partial credit. The whole point is the margin.
- When you get one wrong, ask the follow-up. That is the actual value of the game.
- Swap every single question rather than doing ten each — it keeps the momentum up.
Frequently asked questions
How do you play How Well Do You Know Your Partner?
One partner reads a question and says out loud what they think the other will answer. The other reveals the real answer, and you mark it right or wrong. Swap after each question and compare scores at the end.
What is a good score?
Most couples get between 60 and 75 percent. Above 80 means you are genuinely paying attention. Below 50 is not a crisis — it usually means the questions were about the small stuff, which is exactly the stuff people stop noticing.
What questions should you ask to test how well you know someone?
Small, specific, current ones. Their exact coffee order, the friend they complain about most, what they were worried about last month. Big biographical facts are memorised; small current ones are observed.
Does this work for married couples?
Especially well. Long-married couples tend to guess with more confidence and no more accuracy, which is what makes it funny.
