How Well Do You Know Your Partner? 50 Questions to Test Each Other
“How well do you know your partner” is a two-player quiz game: one of you answers a question about yourself, the other writes down their guess first, and you score a point for every guess that matches. It is the fastest way to find out who actually pays attention – and to learn the small things you somehow never asked after years together.
Below are 50 questions to test each other, sorted from easy warm-ups to the ones that start real conversations, plus the simple scoring rules and a free quiz you can play right now.
How do you play the “how well do you know me” game?
- One answers, one guesses. Player A reads a question and writes their true answer secretly. Player B writes their guess.
- Reveal together. Match = 1 point for the guesser. No match = 0 and usually a laugh.
- Swap roles and go again so both of you get guessed and both get to guess.
- Play to a number (first to 15) or just tally at the end. Loser does the dishes.

How to keep score (and what your score means)
Give the guesser 1 point per correct guess, swap after each round, and tally at the end. A rough read: 40 or more out of 50 and you two pay serious attention; 25 to 39 is a normal, healthy “we know each other but keep learning”; under 25 is not a red flag – it just means you found your next ten date-night conversations. The misses are the point.
