Take the scored quiz instead
The Zealel couples quiz has 10 questions with multiple-choice answers. You answer for yourself and guess your partner's answers, then send them a link. Their answers stay hidden until both of you finish, and partial matches earn partial points.
Tips for a better game
- Mix easy and deep questions. Start with favorites, then move to feelings and the future once you are both warmed up.
- Treat wrong answers as openers. Ask "what made you guess that?" before correcting it.
- Let either person pass. Some questions touch sore spots; skipping keeps it fun.
- Replay later. Answers change over the years, especially about goals, stress and what helps.
Frequently asked questions
What are good "how well do you know me" questions?
Good ones mix easy favorites (a coffee order, a comfort food) with questions about feelings, stress, values and the future. The feelings and future questions are the ones couples most often get wrong, and they lead to the best conversations.
How do you play "how well do you know me"?
One partner reads a question, the other writes down or says their guess, then the first partner gives the real answer. Swap roles after each round. For a version that keeps score for you, both partners can take the free Zealel couples quiz and compare results.
How do you keep score?
Give one point for each exact match. If an answer has several parts, like three favorite things, give partial credit for each part that matches. The Zealel quiz scores this way automatically.
Can we play if we live apart?
Yes. Read the questions over a video call, or take the Zealel quiz separately: one partner answers, sends a link, and the results unlock when the other finishes.
