This makes your conversation interesting and helps you connect on a deeper level. Create your quirky, sexy, and flirty questions to make your regular calls something you both look forward to. For example:
Would you rather be rich or famous? Would you rather go out for a date or stay in? Would you rather gaze at the stars all night or each other? Would you rather hold my hand for 10hours every day or never hold it again?
2. Never Have I Ever
This is one of the classic drinking games played with partners or friends. You can play this online over a video call or text each other and turn it into your special version of a long-distance relationship game. Decide what punishment you want to keep, either a sip of a drink, play points-wise, or send a picture of yourself. For instance, if you say –“Never have I ever… written a love letter to someone”. If your partner has written a love letter in the past, they either drink, lose a point, or send you a picture. You can demand any kind of picture to make the game more interesting. The beauty of this game is that it only gets interesting as you keep asking the question. The intensity of the questions improves as you start understanding the things your partner has or has not done. You can also include these questions to spice up the game.

10. This Or That?
“This or that?” is one of the fun things to do in long-distance relationships. This game is similar to ‘would you rather?’, which helps you know your partner’s choices and likings. Make quick comparative questions between two things, and your game is ready. For instance,
Tea or coffee? Burger or pizza? Series or movies? Beach or mountains? Chocolates or ice creams? Dogs or cats?

This is a conversation-stirring game that is pretty simple. You have to make up three sentences, out of which two statements are true, and one is a lie. Your partner has to guess which one of the three statements is a lie. The statements need not necessarily be life-revealing or something intimate. They can be interests, hobbies, or past experiences that helped shape your personality. Although, it will be fun if you make the lie a little outrageous, crazy, and wacky. Sound your lie like the truth to make it hard for your partner to distinguish between the two. Whether your partner can guess the lie or not, it would be fun after the revelation as to what, when, and why the whole scenario happened.
12. Fill In The Blanks
If you are in a later stage of your long-distance relationship, this game will help you and your partner understand how well you know each other. It is a fun way to know how much you and your partner have paid attention to each other’s likes and dislikes. For instance,
My favorite perfume is…? My favorite pizza toppings are…? Do I prefer tea or coffee? Five things on my bucket-list are..?

You may keep each other updated through texts and photos. However, there is no need to push for deep conversations every day. In fact, it is better to keep such conversations limited to once a week or two. Deep topics can get overwhelming when forced over the distance with lesser ways of navigating around miscommunication.
