100 Most Interesting Newlywed Game Questions

How to Play the Newlywed Game: Rules for Success

1. Gather couples: The best way to play this game is with lots of couples, but you can play with just one pair if you want to have a fun date night.

2. Get the materials ready: You will need pens and paper or answer sheets that you can print for each person.

3. Ask the Questions: One partner leaves the room while the other answers questions in private. Then, the partner who was not there comes back and answers the same questions.

4. Show the answers: Compare the answers to see how well the partners' answers are the same.

5. How to earn points: You can earn points for each correct answer. The couple with the most points wins a prize or—even better—can brag about it!
