7 Reasons Couples Are Putting Their Phones Down for This Book
By Claire Bennett
Last Updated: —
REASON 1: YOU CAN’T SCROLL AND PLAY AT THE SAME TIME
Every page needs a pen in your hand and your eyes on the person across the table. That is the whole trick. Nobody has to say “put your phone down.” The book does it for you, because the round starts and you’re already behind.
REASON 2: IT’S A GAME, NOT A TALK
No prompts about your feelings. No “share a fear.” You guess what he answered, he guesses what you answered, and whoever gets more right wins the page. The closeness shows up on its own, halfway through, when you realize he knew your answer before you wrote it.
REASON 3: SOMEBODY WINS EVERY SINGLE PAGE
Points on every challenge. A WINNER line at the bottom. And a final champion page at the end of the book. Trash talk is built in. That’s why couples play three pages when they meant to play one.
REASON 4: IT NEVER TURNS INTO THE SAME GAME
Quick-fire duels, riddles, creative battles, surprise quizzes, a mystery cipher you have two minutes to crack, a scavenger duel around your own kitchen, two truths and a lie. 109 pages and no two nights look the same.
REASON 5: TWENTY MINUTES ON A TUESDAY COUNTS
You don’t need a sitter, a reservation or a free weekend. One page fits between dinner and the dishes. Long game nights work too — but the book is built for the ordinary night, because that’s the one you were losing to your phones.
REASON 6: THE BOOK BECOMES THE MEMORY
The scores stay on the page in both of your handwriting. The night he lost the compliment duel and had to pay up. The cipher you cracked with four seconds left. Six months from now you’ll open it and laugh again.
REASON 7: 30 DAYS. FULL REFUND. NO HOOPS.
Play a week of pages. If it doesn’t get the two of you off your phones and laughing, email us within 30 days for a full refund. Keep the book. Free U.S. shipping.
