The Newlywed Game was a TV show that hit airwaves in the late 1960s. Audiences immediately fell in love and started playing the game at home. There have been plenty of evolutions and variations throughout the decades, so you'll have to start with this refresher on newlywed game questions and rules.

How To Play The Newlywed Game?

The first thing you'll need is someone to keep track of the scores and to ask the questions; a host.

You'll also need a few couples. Three teams seem to be the magic number, but you can play this game with any number of couples.

Gameplay is also very easy. Leave one spouse (the husbands for example) from each team in the room while they're partners leave. Ask the same question to each player, and have them write down their answer. The spouses then return, and the host repeats the questions. Each time the couple's answers match, points are awarded!

Three rounds is usually a good amount for a single game, but you can go through as many rounds as you wish, and assign scores whichever makes sense to you. Also, we recommend saving a few tougher questions for a higher-scoring bonus round.

What Do You Need To Play?

All you need are some papers and pens to write down answers and a scorecard to keep track of who's winning. Aside from that you just need regular entertainment like music, food, and drinks.

The most difficult part about planning the game are the questions, and that's why we're here. We have the best-newlywed game questions and put them into categories that you can use to structure your perfect game night.
