  3. Share your answers over your call, then advance or skip together.

Something to talk about

Waiting for the next visit? Pick a game for your evening call, or read today’s question when you only have a few minutes. A card gives you somewhere to start, and the conversation can take its own course.

Ways to play when you are apart

Match the game to the call

A five-minute call before work fits ten cards of This or That or Would You Rather. Save Questions for Couples or Two Truths and a Lie for a long evening call, when there is time for the story behind every answer.

Across time zones

When it is morning for one of you and late at night for the other, let the one waking up pick the category and the one heading to bed say when to stop. The code keeps your cards in step whoever starts.

Voice only, or no call at all

None of the games need video. On a voice call, one of you reads the card aloud before either of you answers. If you can only text, quote the first few words of each card so you both know you are on the same one, or try the texting games built for a chat thread.

Tips for long distance game nights

  • Agree on the game and the category before you call, so the first card is ready when you say hello.
  • Tap the heart on the cards that started your best conversations. Saved cards stay on each phone, ready for the next visit in person.
  • Keep one deck just for calls, like Deep in Questions for Couples, so it feels like your own long distance ritual.

Frequently asked questions

What does the code do?

It makes both phones deal the same cards in the same order. It does not connect the phones or send anything between them: each of you taps on your own screen, and you share answers over the call.

What if our cards get out of step?

Open this page on both phones and check that the codes match. Then open the same game with the same category or level, and refresh both pages to start again from the first card. Picks and progress stay on each phone.

Where is our code saved?

Your browser remembers the code, and it is included in the invite link you share. While a code is saved, every game on this device deals cards in that code’s order, so tap “Clear code” when you are back on one phone. Your partner can clear it on theirs separately.

Why might our daily questions differ?

The daily question follows the local date shown on each device. If your dates differ, read either question aloud and answer that one together.
