The other half of each couple stays in the room and answers questions about their mate/date. They answer each question the way they think their mate/date would respond.
Have them write each answer down, so that when their partner returns he/she can give their own answer to each question.

The couple with the most points wins a prize. Make sure the prize is something they can share!
