After a long day at work or school, grown-ups and children alike love nothing more than to unwind by playing a video game.

Though, video games aren't always an activity guaranteed to bring couples and families closer together.

Indeed, parents and spouses are known for occasionally having to pry the game controls out of their spouses' or children's hands in order for them to do their homework and chores... or even simply pay attention.

There are some couples, however, who found a way to ensure that such an occurrence will never happen.

Which is to find a video game the two of them can enjoy together.


Redditor HornedOwlsNest was curious to hear which video games were ideally suited for couples to play together, leading them to ask:

"My wife and I play 'Dont Starve Together' a lot on the PC."

"We both have our own PCs and it is such a great time."

"Besides DST, my wife and I love playing single player detective games where you need to solve an overarching mystery."

"We get addicted and we must complete it together and she usually watches and helps solve while I do the actual playing."

"They are a slow burn with hardly any action and are great to spend time with a partner on."

"Examples are, 'The Painscreek Killings' and 'Return of the Obra Dinn' as our two favorites we spent dedicated time together on."- LOSTonABC

So Many To Choose From!

"If your SO is into action games: 'Borderlands', 'Sniper Elite', 'Left 4 Dead'."

"Also 'Battle Royales'."

"If your SO is into non-violent games: 'Stardew Valley', 'Factorio', 'Minecraft', 'Terraria, Starbound', 'Don't Starve Together', etc."

"If your SO is not used to videogames: Story driven games you can play together such as 'The Red Strings Club', 'Oxenfree', 'Life is Strange', Telltale games in general."

"If your SO is into board games/party games: 'Monster Prom', 'Tricky Towers', 'Town of Salem', etc."

"Would also recommend: 'Dungeon of the Endless', coop tower defense dungeon crawler, and 'The Escapists 2', silly prison break sim."- Jurelover

They say a little competition is healthy in every relationship.

And is there really a better outlet to take out one's frustrations on your partner than Street Fighter

Then too, if the Black Mirror episode 'Striking Vipers' taught us anything, video games can result in some surprisingly sexy outcomes...

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

In early 2024, 49-year-old Antonia Eastwood married Ashley Monk after about five months of dating. During the ceremony, Antonia tripped while walking down the aisle.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
