The couples questions game
Five hypotheticals. One of you answers, the other predicts.
Free. No signup. Two minutes.
You answer
What is the one thing I would never throw away?
A questions game, not a questionnaire. These are hypotheticals, would-you-rathers and the kind of ridiculous scenarios that are fun to argue about: what you would do with an unexpected day, which of you would survive something absurd, the small preferences nobody has ever thought to ask about.
The rule that makes it a game is the guessing. One person answers, the other predicts, and the score at the end is how well the prediction matched. Wrong answers are usually better than right ones, which is why this format works at a dinner table and a long car journey alike.
Play it in about two minutes, then send it back the other way so you both get a turn.

Questions people ask
How many players do we need?
Two. One writes the answers, the other guesses them. The game does not work solo, which is rather the point.
Can we play it in person?
Yes. Pass one phone back and forth, or open the link on two phones sitting on the same sofa. Nothing here depends on being apart.
Do we need to download anything?
No. It runs in the browser with no signup. The app exists for couples who want a question every day rather than five in one sitting.
Can we play more than once?
As often as you like. Each round pulls a fresh set of five, and a link that has been played is frozen so the score stays whatever it was.
