This long-distance date is perfect for couples who want to test just how well they can describe or interpret details. One of you plays the “witness,” describing a character (real or fictional) while the other becomes the “police sketch artist,” attempting to draw the description as accurately as possible. The results are hilariously unpredictable and reveal how differently your minds visualize the same details.
