It Takes Two

Cooperation is essential

It Takes Two names a cooperative video game released in 2021, where two players must work together to progress—neither can advance alone.

The phrase also titles a 1995 comedy film and a 1988 song.

All uses play on the idiom it takes two to tango, emphasizing that some things require partnership or shared responsibility.
