Games that work when you’re apart
Most couple games assume you’re on the same couch. These are about the distance itself: whether you’d rather have one long call a week or a short one every day, who falls asleep first on the phone, and whether splitting every flight 50/50 is fair. They’re light enough for a goodnight call and specific enough to start real conversations about how you want the distance to work.
The two Is It Cheating decks are about the gray areas that come up when you’re apart, like gaming with someone else until 3am or a friend who keeps texting. Agreeing on those early is easier than arguing about them later.
Which deck to start with
Miles Apart and Time Zone Trouble are easy openers about calls, messages and schedules. Screen-to-Screen and Visit Diaries are confessions about calls, visits and goodbyes, and Who Calls First and Countdown Crew are quick rounds about who does what. Closing the Gap is about moving and money, so play it when you’re ready to talk about the future. Out of Sight and Late-Night Lobby ask where your lines are while you’re apart.

Questions
What games can long-distance couples play?
Question games work best because they need nothing but a call or a chat: would you rather, never have I ever, who’s most likely and is it cheating. The decks on this page are written for couples who live apart, and you can play them on a video call, over text or on one phone when you visit.
Can we play these games over text?
Yes. Send one question at a time from the lists on this page and answer before you read each other’s reply. In the Floom app you each answer on your own iPhone and the results open together once you’re both done.
Are these games free?
Yes. Everything on this page is free and needs no sign-up. The Floom app is free to download too, and Floom Pro unlocks the full library of 300+ quizzes.
