⚡ In 30 seconds
- Mix fun, quick-fire and a few heartfelt questions.

- 10 to 15 questions are enough for a good game.
How to set up the game
The classic is the shoe game: the couple sit back to back and hold up the shoe of whoever they think the answer applies to. It also works with signs, or on a podcast set where the guests answer on their behalf.
💡 Tip
Ask the guests the same thing, then the couple. Comparing the recorded answers makes for hilarious moments.

- ...fall asleep during a film?
