9 Video Games To Play For A Perfect Date Night

If you're looking for something a bit more frivolous than the rigours of a treasure hunt or the zombie apocalypse, why not take on a racing challenge with a Mario Kart game. The mechanics of Mario Kart are so basic and welcoming that virtually anyone can play and the aesthetics and atmosphere of each stage are a dream.

Super Mario and his friends are among the most memorable in the industry, meaning you can indulge in some harmless nostalgia together as you bash and crash your way around the many courses.

The four player modes can even make for a great game on a double date. Showcasing your strength as a couple by wiping the floor with another pair of karters is a much better method than constantly sharing selfies of each other.

Just don't unleash a blue shell on your own date, though; that could spell the end of a relationship before it's even begun.
