Rank everything from the absolute best to the absolute worst, and see just how differently you and your partner think!
This long-distance date idea is perfect for couples who love sharing their opinions, debating their favourites, and discovering just how differently they think. A tier list is a fun way to rank a group of things from the absolute best to the worst, usually using categories from S Tier at the top to F Tier at the bottom.
For this date, you and your partner will use TierMaker to rank everything from restaurants and movies to fictional characters, snacks, travel destinations, and more. You might immediately agree that something belongs in S Tier, or spend ten minutes trying to convince your partner that their favourite movie deserves to be moved down to C Tier. It’s an easy long-distance date that creates plenty of conversation, playful debates, and opportunities to learn more about each other’s tastes and opinions.

- S Tier: Your absolute favourite. You would get it every time.
- A Tier: Really good, but not quite the best.
- B Tier: Good and you’d happily eat it.
- C Tier: Average. Nothing special.
- D Tier: Not very good and you probably wouldn’t choose it.
- F Tier: The worst. You’d avoid it if possible.
- 9Before moving an item, both of you should say which tier you think it belongs in
- 10For example:
- 11“McDonald’s fries?”
- 12One of you might immediately say S TierWhile the other thinks they belong in B Tier.
- 13Explain why you chose your rankingAnd try to convince your partner to agree with you. If you disagree, you can debate until you reach a decision, take turns having the final say, or compromise and put the item somewhere in the middle.
- 14Continue until you’ve ranked every item on the list
- 15Once you’re finished, look at your completed tier list togetherTalk about your biggest disagreements, the rankings that surprised you, and the answers you already knew your partner was going to give.

Make it a night to remember
- Make Separate Tier Lists. Choose the exact same topic but complete your tier lists separately without showing each other your answers. When you’re finished, reveal them over video call and see just how similarly, or differently, you ranked everything.
- Guess Your Partner’s Ranking. Before your partner says where they would put an item, predict which tier they’ll choose. Give yourself one point every time you’re correct and see who knows their partner best.
