Wii U
This cute and well-crafted platformer puts each player in control of their own yarn Yoshi that can gobble things up - including the other player - and turn them into woolly projectiles. Plenty of opportunity for slapstick comedy.
Multi-platform
Expensive, but worth it for the physical Lego-building component, this adventure takes players through so many different franchises – from The Wizard of Oz to Back to the Future – there’s bound to be something for each of you.
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
PC, Xbox One
As the two of you scurry between stations, taking turns at piloting, shields and weapons, keeping calm and communicating is paramount.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
PC
One player has a bomb, the other the instructions for how to disarm it. This kind of asymmetrical cooperative multiplayer is great for learning to communicate points of view and understanding one another.
iPad
These quick and simple puzzles require two people to drag icons across the screen, inevitably ending up with fingers intertwined. Could be an entertaining way to get physical.
