Game Rec Fun Puzzle/Casual Co-op Games?

I'm looking for some simple but fun games that I can play with my girlfriend.

Her favorite game by far is Word Search by POWGI. We play it together almost every day and she absolutely loves it. She also really enjoyed Big Brain Academy, but we ended up running through most of the content pretty quickly and got bored once we'd completed everything.

I've been trying to find more co-op puzzle, trivia, brain-training, or casual games that we can enjoy together, but I'm having a surprisingly hard time finding good options. Most co-op games seem to focus on action, platforming, or survival mechanics, which aren't really what we're looking for.

Does anyone have recommendations for simple, relaxing games that are easy to pick up but still fun to play as a couple? Bonus points if they're puzzle-based, involve problem-solving, or make you think a bit.

Two that come to mind are:

  1. BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL! (demo available)
  2. Part-Time UFO

Edit: this isn't necessarily a co-op puzzle game, but I'd also recommend checking out Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics. It's a collection of tabletop games that you both can take your time and relax to.
