Ugh, another lockdown. For long-distance couples, this could feel like impending doom. Well, fret not, for we have come to the rescue. Here are five ways you could spice up your love life albeit the distance. (We personally think the last idea is the cutest one!)

1. Tele Party

Thanks to Teleparty (formerly known as Netflix Party), long-distance movie nights are now possible. Teleparty is a browser extension that allows you to create or join a party that enables remote film watching. Plus, you can even interact with each other while the movie is playing with their chat feature! 

Those in long-distance relationships can surely benefit from this as they can simply schedule a night, dress up if they will, and choose a movie or series from multiple streaming platforms to be watched together, albeit virtually. Still, there's beauty in it, no?

2. Digital Escape Rooms

Who says you can't have a date night and practice social distancing at the same time? The internet contains an abundance of free virtual escape rooms that you can participate in as part of your game night plans. Above is an example of a virtual escape room where you and your partner could team up and solve all sorts of mind-challenging questions together. 

There are other kinds of escape rooms too. For instance, if you're an avid fan of the Harry Potter franchise,  this escape room could make your night. 

3. Online Games 

Psy Games Entertainment is a platform providing interactive party games (with instructions!) that's full to the brim with trendy and entertaining content. Perfect for virtual date night activities, if we do say so ourselves.

As pictured above, they offer a variant of fun little games that would ensure a time well spent. Take a look at their Truth Or Dare. Fun, right? 

4. Host A Virtual Cooking Competition 

  
Now, doesn't this sound like a fun challenge? Pick out a recipe online, preferably one that's not too challenging (unless both of you happen to be really good chefs), and battle each other out on who cooks the best rendition of the same recipe. 

When both of you are done, perhaps you could ask someone else to judge your cooking on your end and your partner, his. Imagine all the cute moments that would ensue!

5. Read Love Letters Aloud

If your aim is to have a delicate and intimate date with your partner despite the lockdown, then we urge you to give this a try. It could be a simple dinner over facetime or just a virtual sit down through a video call. Either way, incorporate a love letter writing session and read it aloud to each other once done. 

By the end of it, the bond between you and your significant other will surely have strengthened.
