What Is FLAMES?
FLAMES is a popular game that uses two people's names to reveal a relationship outcome. The name comes from the six possible results: Friends, Lovers, Affection, Marriage, Enemies, and Siblings. It's been played for years on paper and now online, perfect for friends, crushes, or couples who want a bit of lighthearted fun.
The game doesn't use astrology or science; it's a simple letter-counting and elimination process. Many people enjoy it as a conversation starter or a nostalgic throwback. Play it above with any two names and see what you get.
What Each FLAMES Result Means
- Friends - A strong, platonic bond. You get along well and enjoy each other's company.
- Lovers - Romantic potential. The game suggests a spark between you two.
- Affection - Caring and warmth. You might have a soft spot for each other.
- Marriage - Long-term vibes. Playfully suggests lasting commitment.
- Enemies - Opposite energies. Often taken in jest, many "enemies" end up as friends or more.
- Siblings - A comfortable, family-like connection. You feel at ease together.
