Mr and Mrs Quiz Questions: 30 to Ask on Your Anniversary

Mr and Mrs quiz questions are a simple game where each partner answers questions about the other, then you compare answers and score a point for every match. It takes about half an hour, costs nothing, and is a lovely way to spend an anniversary evening. Below are 30 questions in four rounds, plus the rules and a few ideas to make it more fun.

How to play the Mr and Mrs quiz

Each of you needs a pen and a piece of paper. One person reads a question aloud, you both write what you think your partner would say, and then you reveal. If the answers match, score a point. At the end, the higher score wins. The trick is to write the answer your partner would give, not the one you would give yourself, and that is where the laughs come from.

Ways to make the game more fun

Raise the stakes with small prizes: the winner chooses the film, or the loser does the washing up. Play it as a double date by asking each couple to answer about their own partner and giving bonus points for the most surprising answer. If you have been together a long time, try it with a rule that anything the other person has said in the last month counts double, which makes you listen.

A game also makes a handy centre for a wider evening. Pair it with dinner, then follow it with a few ideas from our marriage bucket list or the how to mark a wedding anniversary guide. If you want to leave a note in the card afterwards, our guide on what to write in an anniversary card will help.

Small gifts that go with the game

A quiz night is a good excuse for a small gift. The Him or Her flip coin (£10.34) settles any tie, the love tokens (£5.74) make a cheerful prize, and the metal couple figurine (£18.39) is a keepsake to mark the occasion. For something to give your wife, the To the Moon and Back pendant (£35.64) is a lovely choice.

FAQs

How do you play Mr and Mrs?

Each partner writes answers about the other, then you reveal them and score a point for every match. Keep the questions short and keep score on paper, so nobody can argue afterwards.

How many questions do you need?

Twenty to thirty is plenty for an evening. Our list has thirty, which gives you a full game with a few spare for a tiebreak.

What are good Mr and Mrs questions for an anniversary?

Mix easy facts like favourite meals with shared memories like your first date, then add a few about the future. Our story round works best on an anniversary.

Can you play Mr and Mrs with friends?

Yes. Two couples can play head to head, or a group can take turns answering about their partner while the others guess.

What should the winner get?

Something small and daft works best: a cuppa in bed, first pick of the film or a handmade token to cash in later.
