M.A.S.H. Games With a Fun & Flirty TWist

Remember M.A.S.H.? That hilarious little game we used to scribble on notebook paper to predict our future house, spouse, and number of kids? (I always ended up living in a shack with a celebrity crush, LOL.)

Well… it’s BACK and way more fun now that we’re married. 🙌

I gave this nostalgic favorite a grown-up glow-up and turned it into a brand-new way to plan your next night with your spouse. Whether you want a fun, flirty night out or a steamy evening in, these printable D.A.T.E. games let fate do the choosing.

And yes… there are two versions.
💗 One for romantic date night planning: D.A.T.E.
🔥 And one with a spicy twist: D.A.T.E.S.

The Inspiration Behind This Date Night

This fun little date night idea was actually inspired by a real-life social media moment from one of our own! Our amazing social media gal, Megan, created a video of her and her husband participating in the viral trend where couples use the classic M.A.S.H. game template to plan their date night. Instead of Mansion, Apartment, Shack, and House this trend has you use Dinner, Activity, Treat, and Entertainment.

Their video totally took off, and I loved how playful and spontaneous it felt. It brought back all the nostalgic vibes and created something meaningful and memorable between the two of them.

After watching it (and smiling the whole way through), I knew I had to turn this idea into something just for our followers! Something a little more intentional, a little more flirty, and totally exclusive to our community. That’s how the D.A.T.E. Game and its spicy cousin, D.A.T.E.S., were born.

Whether you’re using the old-school M.A.S.H. or our customized printable versions, you’re going to love what happens when you let fate plan your night. 💘

Why This Updated M.A.S.H. Game Is Perfect for Date Night

I don’t know about you, but some nights we’re both just staring at each other like, “What do you wanna do?” … “I dunno, what do you wanna do?” 🙃 That’s where the D.A.T.E. game totally saves the day!

It makes decision-making fun, spontaneous, and honestly hilarious. We never know what we’ll end up doing, but that’s part of the charm. It’s simple enough to play with zero prep, brings back all the throwback vibes, and helps us break out of our same-old date night routines. We’ve laughed way more (and even argued over who “cheated” with the spiral count), and it just adds a little more joy to our relationship—which is exactly the point of dating your spouse, right?

How to Play the D.A.T.E. Game (Flirty + Fun Edition)

D.A.T.E. = Dinner, Activity, Time of Day, and Environment.

You fill in a few options under each category, then use the classic spiral trick (or a random number!) to cross things off one-by-one until fate reveals your next date night plan.

Example:

• D – Dinner: Pizza, Sushi, Tacos, Breakfast for Dinner
• A – Activity: Bowling, Board Games, Escape Room, Movie
• T – Time of Day: Morning, Afternoon, Sunset, Late Night
• E – Environment: At Home, Downtown, Outdoors, Surprise!

Once you have one answer left in each category… that’s your official D.A.T.E. Night!

How to Play the D.A.T.E.S. Game (Sexy Version)

D.A.T.E.S. = Dare, Attire, Touch, Environment, and Spice.

Same game, way steamier. You’ll fill in each category with flirty or sensual options, then let the universe pick your next sexy adventure. 😉

Example:

• D – Dare: Mirror Play, Sexy Voice Memo, Strip Tease, Try a New Toy

• A – Attire: Lingerie, Just His Shirt, Nothing At All, Blindfold + Robe

• T – Touch: Massage, Ice Cube Tease, Slow Make Out, Body Tracing

• E – Environment: Bedroom, Shower, Kitchen, Under the Stars

• S – Spice: Dirty Talk, Roleplay, Use a New App, Add Chocolate Sauce 🍫

Ready to play? Light a candle, pour something bubbly, and let this grown-up throwback lead the way. 😘

Want to Make It Even More Fun?

Once we started playing, I realized how easy it would be to turn this into a surprise. One night I printed the game out and left it on our bed with a handwritten note. Another time, I sent my husband a cheeky little textable invite that hinted at a flirty night ahead… and let’s just say he cleared his schedule. 😉

I created two printable versions of the game (one fun, one sexy) and two textable invites that are short, sweet, and perfect for sending a little surprise during the day.

Whether you print it out and tuck it into a lunchbox or send an invite while your spouse is at work, this game makes connecting feel playful again… just like it should. 💘
