100 Newlywed game questions for couples

The Newlywed game works with two people and no host if you follow one rule: each of you answers privately, then the answers are revealed together. The questions below come in pairs of “about you” and “guess about them”; ask them in the same order and compare. Or play the two-phone version, which deals six a round, keeps your answers hidden until both are in, and lets you judge the guesses yourselves.

Scoring without a host

Give a point for every guess the other person accepts; the person the question is about is the judge. Close counts if they say so. Play six at a time so the reveal stays fun, and swap who goes first. The two-phone version does the dealing, the hiding and the judging taps for you, and keeps a running score in your room.
