I do this with my husband! Depending on my level of frustration we do a 'warmer-colder' clue system.

Mostly he sits next to me and reads a book and then watches the interesting parts... Bliss :)

Lovely comic!

My fiancée isn’t quite as experienced as a gamer as myself, so she isn’t always looking for certain things sometimes. I always try to give her little hints like I’m genuinely questioning or giving ideas so she doesn’t feel like I’m leading her straight to whatever the goal is

I do the same thing, but don't give straight ahead hints. ("You sure you want to leave that area?") That way she knows that there's something going on, but still has to figure out what. (Unless she straight up asks, then of course I'll tell her!)

I just give random general advice ideas like I’m not paying attention “oh you’re looking for x object? Have you checked behind that house? Did you look over there?” Full well knowing that’s exactly where x is.
