Couples games
Choose a private two-person game by the tone you both enjoy: conversation, romance or cheekier challenges. Cards and dice can suit a short round; board games usually ask for more setup.
Before you choose: Check sample content, rules and any extra supplies. Either person can pass or stop—the best evening is one you’re both enjoying.
Party games
For a group, start with player count and the kind of humour your guests actually share. A game designed for couples won’t necessarily work around a party table.
Before you choose: Check age suitability, sample questions and whether it needs a host or extra equipment. Give guests an easy way to opt out of personal prompts.
Adult playing cards
A cheeky deck can bring a different look to games you already know. Compare the artwork, pack contents and whether it’s a standard deck or a prompt-based game.
Before you choose: Don’t assume adult artwork means the cards contain date-night questions or challenges. Read the description so you get the format you have in mind.
Adult colouring books
For a quieter, playful evening or a gift with a sense of humour. Compare the artwork and tone with the recipient’s tastes.
Before you choose: Check page count, format and whether colouring materials are included. This is a relaxed activity rather than a game with rules or a winner.
Edible gifts & lollies
A cheeky add-on for a gift bag or a shared laugh. Choose the flavour and presentation as well as the joke.
Before you choose: Check ingredients, allergens, pack quantity and the product’s directions. An edible novelty is not automatically personal lubricant or suitable for every use.
Novelty gifts & accessories
Choose the joke for the person, not just the product photo. A small novelty can be a good extra alongside a more personal gift.
Before you choose: Read the dimensions and inclusions. Decorative items, props and practical accessories do different jobs, even when they share a cheeky theme.
Inflatable dolls
Check whether a particular item is a party prop, a novelty gift or intended for another stated use. Those descriptions matter more than the category name.
Before you choose: Compare size, material and what’s included for inflation. Don’t assume a novelty prop is designed for intimate use.
Adult calendars
For a gift that keeps the joke—or the eye candy—going. Choose the theme your recipient will enjoy and where they’ll want to display it.
Before you choose: Check the year, dimensions and calendar format before buying. A great cover isn’t much use if you accidentally choose the wrong year.
A little more know-how
Choose the tone together
Look at the sample cards, player count and description. Romantic questions, teasing suggestions and explicit challenges are different moods. Pick something you both find inviting, rather than surprising someone with a level they didn’t agree to.
A useful house rule: either person can skip a card, change an activity or stop, without explaining or losing points. The game offers ideas; it doesn’t get the final say.
Less setup, more time together
Read the rules first and check whether the game needs extra supplies. Choose a comfortable spot and start with a short round. You can always play more if you’re enjoying it.

A few quick answers
Do we have to follow every instruction?
No. Agree on your own boundaries first. Passing or adapting a prompt should always be welcome.
Is a couples game suitable for a party?
Not necessarily. Check the intended number of adult players and the content. A private two-person game may be awkward in a group.
Can it work if we’re a bit shy?
Start with a lighter question or short round. Laughter and a comfortable pace are better goals than completing the deck.
We only have half an hour. Is a game still worth it?
Look at cards or dice that let you enjoy a short round. Check the rules before buying, then choose a few prompts rather than making finishing the pack the goal. A quick laugh together still counts as a good date.
We’ve been together for years. Will it feel a bit cheesy?
It might—and a little shared laughter can be part of the appeal. Choose a tone you both enjoy, from light conversation to something cheekier. You’re giving the evening a new starting point, not sitting an exam on your relationship.
Could I give one as a gift without making it awkward?
Choose for the recipient’s humour and comfort level. A lighter game can be easier to give than something full of explicit challenges. Check the sample content and make sure it’s intended for the number of people you have in mind.
