How Playing Games Saved Their Relationship
When it comes to playing games in a relationship, some people will tell you never to do it — they say that competition and a need to “one-up” the other person does not make a healthy dynamic. On the other hand, a lot of people say playing games is the only way to add spontaneity and surprise to a relationship, helping to keep it exciting and fun.
At GameApart, we believe that playing games can actually bring people closer together. Want to know how? Check out these reasons to have an online game night, along with some “quotes” that could easily be real examples of how playing games saved their relationship, because playing games over Zoom or other video conferencing software allows people to connect with their friends and family in a meaningful way. Whether your people are 6 feet, 6 miles, or 6 states apart, staying in touch via games is great for any relationship!

For family and friends scattered across the globe, getting together for game night was a thing of the past. Now, it’s easy to get competitive and laugh with — and at — the ones you love over games like Cards Against Humanity online. With word-guessing games, classic card games, and board games to play with family online all easily accessible for even the least-tech savvy member of your crew, there’s no reason to not keep old traditions going or start a new one! Distance will no longer be an obstacle to staying connected to your people.
Kids Will No Longer Ruin Friendships
“As the first couple in our friend group to have a kid, it sucked to miss our monthly game night with friends,” said Julia, mother of 10-month old Braxton. “When I heard about GameApart, I invited my friends to an online game night over Google Meet, and we all had a blast. They agreed to do our game nights virtual from now on — partly because they love us, but I think mostly because they were able to drink without having to pay for a Lyft, or put on shoes!”
No Need for Lots of Small Talk
Anyone who tried to stay in touch with their family and friends over video chat during the pandemic knows how quickly you run out of things to talk about when no one is doing anything. And for those of us with introvert tendencies, we want to hang out with our people, but there’s a limit to how much small talk we can handle. Playing games online is the perfect way to have all the fun and most of the talking is of the trash-talking variety — everyone’s favorite! “I want to be social, but I also really want to stay home,” said Melissa G. “GameApart is the perfect solution — I can laugh and have a great time with my friends, but still be alone on my couch with my pjs and snacks. It’s the best of both worlds!”
