Play a couple’s card game like Uncover Me
Couples card games can be a super fun way to boost communication and connection, especially when mixed with a laid-back vibe and a drink in hand. Take Uncover Me, for instance – a card game crafted just for couples, seamlessly helping both partners open up and discover more about each other.
Pairing a game like Uncover Me with a drink creates a light and playful atmosphere, making it easy for you and your significant other to feel at ease while chatting and sharing.
The best part about Uncover Me is that it's an actual game. Sure, there are other couples' prompt games with open-ended questions, but there's only one Uncover Me. And if you play it and it doesn't quite hit the mark, our Founder will personally give you a call to apologize. (But trust us, you'll love it!)
Painting with Bob Ross
If you're looking for a more creative and unique drinking game, consider painting along with the human legend known as Bob Ross. This activity is especially enjoyable for couples who may not consider themselves artistic, as it offers the opportunity to let go of any inhibitions and simply have fun.
To prepare for this activity, gather your supplies such as canvas, paint, brushes, and a Bob Ross video tutorial. As you paint, take a drink whenever Bob says "happy little" or any other catchphrase you choose. By the end of the tutorial, you'll have a beautiful piece of artwork to remember the evening by.
Painting with Bob Ross can be a bonding experience for couples, allowing you to explore your creative side together and share a few laughs along the way. Plus, having a drink in hand can help to ease any nerves or self-consciousness.
What to grab before you paint:
Acrylic paints
Paintbrushes
Palette or paper plates for mixing colors
Canvasses or paper
A device to watch Bob Ross tutorials (YouTube on the TV works)
Paper towel and hot water to clean up if you need
A painting blanket to put under you, if you’re messy
Your choice of drinks
Our suggestions for episodes to paint along with:
While it's difficult to definitively pinpoint the "best" episodes of The Joy of Painting, these episodes include some especially beloved Bob Ross paintings. To make your date night even better, we’ve linked to the full-length YouTube clips!
These episodes showcase a variety of landscapes and painting techniques that are perfect for couples looking to bond over a fun and creative activity. Remember, the goal is to enjoy the process, let down your guard, and have a great time with your partner while painting along with Bob Ross. They also have Bob Ross in them, which is great.
Also remember: There are no mistakes, just happy accidents.
Drunk-ish Jenga
Drunk Jenga is a super fun drinking game for couples that mixes strategy with heaps of laughter. To play, write various tasks, questions, or dares on some or all of the Jenga blocks and set up the tower as you normally would. When a player removes a block, they must complete the task written on it before placing the block on top of the tower. If the tower takes a tumble, the player responsible for the collapse takes a drink.
This entertaining game breathes new life into the classic Jenga, creating a delightful and interactive experience for you and your partner. The tasks on the blocks can range from goofy to intimate, letting you tailor the game to suit your relationship and comfort level.
We know this one will take a little more preparation, given you’ll need to write on the blocks - but it may end up being reusable in the future, so that’s great. Pro tip: Assign a certain number of blocks to each partner, so some are surprises when they’re pulled out!
To prepare for Drunk-ish Jenga:
Buy Jenga.
Get some markers.
Get to writing some truths, dares, or prompts.
Movie drinking games
Fun for film lovers, and anyone with a pulse because Mean Girls is on this list and Mean Girls is amazing
Watching a movie together is a date night classic, and adding a drinking game can make it even more enjoyable. Pick a movie both you and your partner love and set some rules for when to take a drink. For example, you could sip every time a certain character says their catchphrase, a specific event happens, or a well-known song comes on.
Movie drinking games can give a familiar film a fresh and exciting feel while also creating a shared experience for you and your partner to bond over. The rules can be as simple or as intricate as you want, letting you tailor the game to your tastes and preferred level of challenge.
Just remember to pace yourselves and always drink responsibly.

Never Have I Ever, but there are drinks
Never Have I Ever is a classic drinking game that can be easily adapted for couples. To play, take turns stating something you've never done, starting with the phrase "Never have I ever...". If your partner has done the activity in question, they take a drink.
The fun thing about this game as a couple is that it doesn’t have to be the typical ‘slightly naughty’ version people play together. You could use the opportunity to bring up things you wished you could do in life, travel, or your career. You could use the opportunity to see how much you know about each other.
This game can be an entertaining way to learn more about your partner's experiences and interests, potentially sparking interesting conversations or even discovering shared interests. As with all drinking games, be sure to keep the game lighthearted and ensure that both you and your partner feel comfortable sharing and participating.
In Conclusion: Drink safe, have fun, and we have a game called Uncover Me you should really own.
Drinking games for couples can offer a delightful and one-of-a-kind way to connect with your partner and make unforgettable memories.

Here's to a fun and memorable night in with your loved one! Cheers!
