When my boyfriend and I started our long-distance relationship, we needed fun ways to feel close even when miles apart. We tried tons of different online games. Each one brought something new to the table. Some were competitive, some made us laugh till we cried, and others helped us feel closer and connected in a way I didnโt expect.

From quizzes and word games to immersive worlds and virtual challenges, these are the games that kept us connected, entertained, and even a little competitive.
