SecretPlay Fantasy Play couples game, Rococo palace

You’re going to place it on the coffee table, shuffle the cards, and suddenly you’ll find yourselves immersed in an 18th-century Rococo palace where fantasies hide behind every door. This game isn’t just a succession of silly questions—it’s a genuine couples’ experience where you’ll discover each other in a different way.

How it works: the board and rules

The game revolves around a board with 9 different themed rooms. Each player writes their secret fantasy on a black “Fantasy Cards” card and hides it somewhere on the board among the other cards, without the other player seeing. The goal? Navigate the board by answering questions, completing challenges, and accumulating credits (coins) to ultimately find your partner’s hidden fantasy card.

The colored spaces indicate what you need to do: white = rest, purple = forfeit cards (gain or lose credits), fuchsia pink = questions (the other player reads them), gray = bar (exchange credits). On cards marked “XXX,” use the 60-second hourglass to time the task. Credits can be exchanged for the other player’s clothing (2 credits per item), adding a gradual physical element to the game.

Box contents and dimensions

The game comes in a box measuring 24.5 cm × 24.5 cm × 7.5 cm (weight 1.36 kg). Inside: a colored game board, several stacks of cards (Fantasies, Questions, Forfeits), credits (coins), two playing pieces, two dice, a 60-second hourglass, and the rules. Everything you need to get started immediately—no accessories to buy.

Setting the mood and couples’ dynamics

What really interests me about this type of game is that it creates a space where you can talk about fantasies without embarrassment. The playful setting (“playing” rather than “confessing”) makes things feel less heavy. You can play the “classic board” version (roll the dice and follow the spaces), the “questions and challenges” version (stay at the table, answer questions, and complete challenges), or combine the two. Nothing is imposed—you decide the mood of the evening.

I’d rate this game as an excellent introduction for couples who want to explore together without pressure. Honestly, it’s also a good way to find out whether your partner is genuinely open to this kind of conversation.

Who it’s for and who it isn’t

Ideal for: Couples looking to break the ice around mutual fantasies. People who generally enjoy board games and want to add a playful, cheeky element. Couples at the beginning or in the middle of their relationship who want to get to know each other better. One-on-one evenings when you have plenty of time (allow 45 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, depending on your pace).

Less suitable for: Couples who don’t generally enjoy board games (too many rules, too long). Couples who prefer direct action without going through a game. If you’re looking for something more immediate, I recommend checking out our couples’ sex toys, which offer direct stimulation. And if it’s your first intimate experience together, I recommend starting with our beginner’s sex toy guide to establish a good foundation.

Girlfriend’s advice— Before opening it, make sure you’re both genuinely comfortable talking about fantasies. The game is an excuse, not magic. And above all, what you discover during the game stays between you—that’s the foundation of trust.
