128 Fun Newlywed Game Questions

One of the best ways to celebrate your new marriage is to play the newlywed game! Whether with a group of friends or bored alone in the house, testing how well you know each other through the newlywed game is a funny and romantic way to grow closer.

However, when you know someone better than anything, coming up with questions to ask can seem like a daunting task. Below, we list plenty of newlywed game questions in a variety of topics. By diving deep into some of these topics, your new marriage will gain new depth through a laugh or two!

What Is the Newlywed Game?

Popularized by the 1960s game show, the newlywed game is relatively simple. The basic premise is to ask the couple a series of questions that will reveal how well they know each other.

You may want to put these questions in different categories and give each category a point ranking, as they did on the TV show, but that’s not really necessary.

There are different variations of the newlywed game, but the basic premise is that each member of the couple answers the first round of questions about themselves, then you ask the couple what they think the other person said.

The questions can range from fun facts about their lives before meeting, to memories of their relationship, to their likes and dislikes.

Couples often play the Newlywed game at wedding or bridal showers, engagement parties, and at other pre-wedding events!

 

How to Play Newlywed Game

There are a few different ways to play, depending on how many other people are there. If you’re playing with another group, you could have your friends write down the questions, the couple gives their answers, and then your friends ask them back to the couple, comparing what you think your partner said and keeping score.

If you’re playing alone, you’ll need several pieces of paper. One of them should list the questions, with separate pieces of paper listing each person’s answers that you keep hidden from each other. Then, you can keep score on a fourth piece of paper.

 

Newlywed Game Questions

The most important part of the newlywed game is obviously the questions. The questions are what will make or break the game!

Try to pick ones that you think will be specifically hard for the couple. If you’re playing in a group setting, it’s also good to ask the couple what topics they’re comfortable with, as the newlywed game can get rather personal and risque.
