How to play

How to play Couple Challenges

Agree the forfeit before the first round — the loser owes it. Mild challenges are silly and competitive, Spicy ones are a test of composure, and Extreme is for couples who enjoy losing on purpose.

  1. 01

    Pick a level and a match length: three, five or seven rounds.

  2. 02

    Agree a forfeit. Whoever loses the match pays it.

  3. 03

    Each round, both of you take on the challenge. Tap who won.

  4. 04

    The last round counts double. A tie goes to sudden death.

Levels

Start mild. Turn it up when you’re ready.

Change level at any moment — the escalation is half the fun.

Playful openers to warm the room up. Free and unlimited, always.

Spicy

Flirty and suggestive, for when the mood has shifted. A generous free allowance every day.
