Scattergories Game Night With Your Spouse!
Start by selecting a letter! Using the printables provided, cut out each letter of the alphabet. I folded mine up and placed them in a simple bowl.
The letter that is selected will be the first letter used in each of your answers!
Select one of the four Scattergories categories to use. Each category card has 12 unique questions that all refer to your spouse!
Set the Scattergories timer for 3 minutes (or less for more of a challenge!). Then, using the answer sheets, each spouse will secretly write down a word to fit the category question. Remember: all answers must begin with the chosen letter!
For example: What is one word to describe your spouse’s breath in the morning?
Letter: S
Options could include: sensational, sour, or sweet – so many choices! For the record, I said my husband’s was sexy and he answered that mine was spicy. Spicy?! We had a good laugh over that! I would have preferred sexy . . .
When the timer runs out, compare your answers. A player receives a point for each word they write down that starts with the chosen letter. No points are received if you both write down the same word. Double points are received if you have a double letter such as Super Spicy!
Finally, determine a winner of your Scattergories game round 1 and play again by choosing a new letter and/or a new category card!
This date night idea had my spouse and I laughing so hard! We loved the challenge and had a blast sharing our answers! We hope you enjoy this spouse Scattergories game as much as we did!

Hello! Quick question…
if i am playing with like 10 couples, am i just playing against my spouse or against all 20 people? And if its against the entire group, I’m just trying to think of a unique word that any of the 20 people might not use (not just my husband)?
And do you think this is a good game to play with that many people or may not?
The game absolutely could be played in a group setting. As you mentioned – the more people playing, the more challenging it will be to choose a unique word that no one else uses. It is up to you if you want to play spouse vs spouse or the entire group. Either way works! Have fun!
