First Anniversary Questions for Couples

Your first year together goes by fast. These first anniversary questions help you look back on it - the first impressions, the first trip, the first silly argument - and test how well you remember the details. A few forward-looking questions round it off, so you finish talking about the year ahead.

Use the list as a dinner conversation, or press play to turn it into a quiz where one of you answers and the other guesses. Play on one phone, or start a room so each of you answers privately before the reveal. It takes about twenty minutes and makes a free, personal anniversary activity that pairs nicely with a card or a small gift.

Yes. Start a room and share the link to play together on a video call.

Can we use these questions for later anniversaries?

Many of them work for any anniversary - just swap "this year" for the time you have been together.
