Baby shower
Baby shower would you rather
Would mom rather change a diaper or do the 3am feed? She answers in private before the shower, guests guess her pick, and the reveal shows who knows her best. It's quick, clean, and fair to guests who only just met her.

How to play
- 1Have the guest of honor answer every question ahead of time, in secret.
- 2Show one question at a time on the big screen, or read it aloud.
- 3Guests pick or write their answer.
- 4Reveal the real answer. Every correct guess scores a point.
- 5The guest who knows them best wins.
Running it for your group
- A small group
- Under a dozen guests: read each question aloud and let guests call out answers, or pass round the printed sheet and mark it together at the end.
- A big room
- Thirty guests or more: don't read answers aloud one by one. Put the questions on a screen and let guests answer on their phones, or have neighbors swap sheets and mark each other's.
- Guests on a video call
- On a video call: share the big screen and let everyone answer from their own phone, so the reveal happens for the room and the call at the same moment.
