What are some fun low-key virtual date ideas?
This is an open-ended question. I occasionally have facetime dates with my partner. What are some good activities we can do? They don't have to be fancy or romantic,
So far we've:
- built lego sets at the same time
- listened to music together
- gone through quizzes on sporcle.com
- tried to name all 50 us states in a google doc (lol)
- Played this scattegories clone https://really.boring.website/
- Watched a movie
I'm particularly interested in other games like scattegories that we can play together.
Thanks!

Building on the Lego thing. There is a game with Lego where one has the instructions and the other one builds the Lego. If you want it easy the guide can see what is being built and if you think your relationship could handle it the guide can't see the build until it's done.
Because it is very difficult you can buy pretty small/cheap sets and get a lot of use from it.
This is smart, we’ll try it out!

If you want a particular game to play we did Stardew Valley with my now wife before I moved across the world for her.

My partner’s not much of a gamer, so I worry table top simulator might not be accessible.

codenames.game - I think it supports the duel (2 player) version.
Lots of 2 player games on yucata.de too (and BGA which has already been mentioned)
You could play boardgames on Board Game Arena
Chess
I just did geoguessr with my team, but rather than competing, one person shared their screen and everyone advised on how to move the camera and worked together to come up with our best guess. It was really fun for about an hour.
Dice throne works really well virtually. Think of it as battle Yahtzee. It's pretty easy/cheap to pick up a couple characters.
