Blanket, snacks, one lamp on. These are slow, warm games where talking matters as much as winning.

34. Live Games in a Couples App

Cupie is a free video-call app for couples. You link with a private PIN, call inside the app and pick from 14 games, including Pool, Minigolf, Chess, Four in a Row, Match and Truth or Dare, all synced live on both phones. There are also 239 quizzes, like Would You Rather and Who's More Likely To, and new games open up as your daily streak grows.

Is there a good app for games with your girlfriend?

If you want games on a video call, Cupie is built for exactly that. It is free (no in-app purchases right now), works on iPhone (iOS 15+) and Android, and is only for the two of you: no usernames, no feed, no friend requests. As of October 2026 it has 4.8 stars on the App Store and 4.8 stars on Google Play.

"I absolutely love this app. The quizzes are great to get to learn your partner more and there's so much built it. I think it's perfect for long distance couples looking to build that connection." (MarieJordan00, App Store)

When to pick something else: if you mostly text or want a shared calendar, Between may suit you better. If you want daily questions and guided relationship lessons, look at Paired. Cupie has no text chat yet and both of you need the app. Our list of long distance relationship apps compares the options.

How do you make game night fun for both of you?

• Let her pick first. Then you pick the second game. Taking turns keeps it fair.
• Mix talking and playing. One board or video game, then one question game.
• Add tiny stakes. Loser plans the next date, makes breakfast or picks the movie.
• Make it a ritual. Same night every week. It becomes something you both look forward to.
• Do not play to crush her. Unless she wants that. Some couples love a rivalry, some do not. Ask.
