A few things you might be wondering

How is the match score worked out?

Each matching answer earns one point out of ten. The percentage just describes this round. It is not a compatibility score, and remembering a detail differently doesn't say whether a relationship is good or bad.

What if none of the choices fits me?

Player 1 can swap that question for another before finishing their turn. If two choices fit, pick the one that sounds most like you today. You can explain the other one after the guesses.

Can we play without sharing a phone?

Yes. Use the full question list below and write your answers separately on paper. One person answers about themselves and the other predicts those answers, then compare them together.

Are these couples trivia questions or factual trivia?

They're trivia about you two: everyday preferences, little habits and shared memories. You don't need to know celebrity facts or remember an exact anniversary date to play.

Where do our answers go?

The game keeps them only in this open page. It does not send the answers to our servers or save them in browser storage. Reloading the page or starting another round clears the current answers.
