In this story
Who knows the couple best questions are more fun when they compare memories instead of trying to make someone fail. The rules below keep the game simple: write an answer, reveal at the same time, and give the point to the answer that matches what your partner actually chose.
How to play
- Choose ten questions for a short round or use all forty.
- One person reads the question aloud.
- Each person writes what they think the other person will answer.
- Reveal the answers together.
- Give one point for a match, then let the person explain the answer.
If you disagree about whether an answer matches, the person who answered gets the final say. Add a bonus point for an answer that reveals something neither of you knew.

Three ways to make the quiz better
Use a prediction sheet
Make two columns: “what I think you will say” and “what you actually said.” The sheet makes the game easy to finish and gives you something to laugh about later.
Add a story point
After each answer, award one extra point for the story that explains it best. This keeps the quiz from rewarding only exact matches.
End with a question you both missed
Choose one answer neither person predicted. Ask a follow-up and put it in a shared note if you want to remember it.
For a trivia-style version with more factual questions, read couples trivia questions. For a shorter prompt game, try 20 questions for couples.
The free know-me question cards give you more prompts for another prediction round. The page does not judge whether a personal answer is correct or keep a score. If you learn something you would like to remember, write a sentence together and add it to the memory book in our world. Learning the detail matters more than winning the round.
