How to play Love in the Sand
Love in the Sand is a free couples game that turns compliments into a race against the clock. Take turns. On your turn you get a prompt, like "a memory with them you would relive tomorrow". Flip the 30-second hourglass and say it out loud before the sand runs out. If you freeze, you pay a forfeit. Your partner rates every answer from one to three hearts, and the player with the most hearts wins.
Two ways to play
- One phone: sit together and pass the phone between you.
- Two phones (online): one of you creates a room and sends the 5-letter code or the WhatsApp link. The other joins on their own phone. It works across the room or across the world, so it's a great long-distance relationship game on a video call. When it's your turn you speak, and your partner taps "They said it" on their phone.
Three levels: sweet, deep and flirty
The first third of the game is sweet ("a small habit of theirs you secretly adore"). The middle goes deep ("a way they have made you a better person"). The last third gets flirty ("the outfit you love seeing them in").
Wild cards
Some turns bring a wild card that changes the rules: a 15-second speed round, eye lock (look away and you lose), whisper it, hold both their hands, golden sand (double hearts) or mirror (your partner goes first and you have to top it).
Forfeits
Choose your forfeit before you start. Sweet dares include a shoulder rub, a slow dance or telling a secret you've never told. Couples over 18 can play with sips or shots of any drink they like, water included. In shot mode the game switches a player to sweet dares after four shots. Always drink responsibly.
The Love Jar
After each answer you can type what you said into the Love Jar. When the game ends, you read each other's lists like a love letter, and you can copy the jar to keep or send on WhatsApp. Every heart you win also earns Hype Points for the leaderboard and Company Cup.
