20 Fun Games to Play with Your Girlfriend

Giving your girlfriend games to play can be a great way to show your love and spark her interest in these quirky activities. That said, try to take it to the next level by getting games that you can both play and enjoy together. There are even some options that you can create from scratch or build up conversations.

For Working Together

Co-op Steam games are some of the most fun genre of games that can get your girl into gaming, as they involve collaboration and teamwork. Try not to troll her with these titles. 

1. It Takes Two

You can’t have a list of games to play with your partner without It Takes Two. It’s the most whimsical and funny title that takes you through numerous levels in a fantastical world. The game mechanics and bosses can get complex, but part of the fun is to learn together and win.

2. Peak

Peak is a fun climbing game that tests how high you can get up the mountain. You can go as fast or as slow as you like, with each suitcase acting like a blind box for you and your girl to open. Plus, the game is coming to console and you can play cross-platform! 

3. Moving Together

If you and your girlfriend are thinking about moving in with one another, consider playing Moving Out first. In this game, you two will have to work together to move all the boxes for your clients. It may test your patience, but you can at least confirm if you two work well together.

4. Supermarket Together

Supermarket Together is another fun and free co-op game with much simpler mechanics, making it excellent for beginners. Basically, it tests your and your partner’s ability to run a grocery store together. Manage the line, update the store products and prevent the thieves!

For Getting Competitive

A little friendly competition with two-player games can be healthy for all couples. And thankfully, you get no harm, no foul with these titles that can entice your woman into more gaming. 

1. Tekken

Tekken 8 is a sensational fighting game franchise you’ll both enjoy playing. It was able to sell three million copies by February 2025, which is a testament to its popularity. Plus, the character designs are pretty creative and hardcore.  

2. Super Mario Kart

Show off your racing skills with Super Mario Kart. Depending on both of your experience levels, you can select different maps and go toe to toe together. Just remember to let your girl choose her character and car before you do. 

3. Party Animals

Party Animals is a charming game where understanding the physics matters a little more than the skill. Dress up as the cutest and fuzziest creatures that you’ve ever seen and try to knock one another out. 

4. Cake Bash

While this party video game may fly under the radar, Cake Bash is quite fun to play. Basically, you and your girlfriend can customize your own dessert and play mini-games. Stick the most sweets and win bragging rights. 

For Going Old-School

Dial it down a bit by playing a couple of old-school board games. These require little explanation, so you can focus more on the experience of playing. 

1. Jenga

Jenga is pretty straightforward, and you get plenty of giggles no matter who loses. If you want to take it up a notch, try making giant Jenga from scratch. 

2. Uno

Uno is another iconic game you just have to try. Just make sure you’re both clear on your own set of rules, even if you deviate from the original. Can you stack +2 and +4 cards? Do you draw until you get a matching card or only once?

3. The Game of Life

The Game of Life is all about imagining how your life would go while mixing luck and your own choices to achieve your dream future. Find a board and play it out. You can even share turns on one run and make decisions together as a fun what-if moment. 

4. Snakes and Ladders

Snakes and ladders is the ultimate game of luck that you just have to test. Just remember not to be too smug about going up a row or laugh when she slithers down a snake. Otherwise, that’s game over. 

For Having Deep Conversations

Conversation games can be pretty nice, especially if life gets busy and you haven’t had time to sit down and talk lately. Here are some suggestions to try out. 

1. Two Truths and a Lie

While Two Truths and a Lie are meant for larger gatherings, you can still use it to kick-start a conversation with your loved one. Say three simple statements and have your partner guess the lie and vice versa. Remember to have follow-up questions ready. 

2. Would You Rather

Would You Rather can reveal how your brain works and the types of decisions you can make at the end of the day. Make up scenarios yourselves, or look up a couple of options online. 

3. We’re Not Really Strangers

If you prefer having a physical card game, gift your girlfriend the We’re Not Really Strangers card pack. The standard edition can ask many eye-opening questions, but there’s also a couples edition that can get a little more romantic. 

4. Fluster

Fluster is another option that you can use to help deepen the relationship. Forewarning, it is a toss-up between uncovering hilarious events or creating thought-provoking moments. 

For Making Simple DIY Games

The reality is that you don’t even have to spend much to play games with your girlfriend and to have a good time. Here are some easy DIY games you can do with some paper and imagination. 

1. Catch Your Opponents

In this game, create six circles spaced out strategically. From there, you can use coins or any kind of character to represent you on the board. Play a game of cat and mouse until one catches the other. 

2. You Draw, You Guess

Have your partner speed-run draw 12 different objects that you have on a list. Afterward, test their memory to see if they can remember what they drew. 

3. Find the Number

Have one paper with numbers one through forty scattered around in different ink. Then, get or create your own grid paper. Mark squares until your partner can find the number you name. 

4. Connect the Dots

Have 25 dots on a piece of paper, with five dots for each row and column. Then, take a die or even just download an app to get a random number from one to six. Draw the lines according to your luck and try to get the most squares. 

Get Your Girlfriend Games to Play

Whether it’s a special occasion or just a regular day, call up your girlfriend with these games ready. She’ll appreciate the thought that you put into choosing the activities, preparing all the supplies and everything else in between. Have fun!
