9 Quarantine Date Ideas That Are Actually Really Great

1. PLAY 20 QUESTIONS

I’ve played versions of this on successful in-person dates, and it can translate to a phone call or FaceTime just as well. You know the rules: think of a person, place, or thing. Then have the other person ask up to 20 yes-or-no questions to figure out what you’re thinking. For a slightly more intimate version, just ask 20 questions about each other, back and forth. The goal, of course, is to go off on a tangent and forget that you were playing a game.

2. PLAY GAMES ON THE HOUSEPARTY APP

Houseparty’s a multiperson, video-chat app with several game options, including trivia, guessing and drawing games, all of which you can play without leaving the app on your phone or computer. It’s a great low-lift virtual dating idea for when you feel like doing something, anything, on a first or second date but you’re not quite up for investing in an elaborate, romantic scheme to sweep someone off their feet via FaceTime. (Plus, you don’t need to recreate a fairytale to win ’em over. You’ll sweep them off their feet just the way you are.)

3. OR TRY A GAME IN THE JACKBOX PARTY PACK
