Famous couples trivia
Romeo and Juliet, Mickey and Minnie, a prince and a duchess: ten questions about famous couples from books, cartoons, history and Hollywood. Everyone answers every question, a wrong answer knocks you off the ladder, and each rung is worth more than the last. Nobody needs to know the couple, so it's a good one for mixed crowds.

How to play
- 1Line up multiple-choice questions from easiest to hardest. Each one is a rung.
- 2Everyone answers every question.
- 3A wrong answer, or no answer, knocks a guest off the ladder.
- 4Once per game the room can ask the room: show how everyone is voting before answers lock.
- 5Each rung is worth more than the last. The last guests standing take the most points.
Running it for your group
- A small group
- With a few guests, let everyone who falls off keep answering for fun. Bragging rights only.
- A big room
- The ladder is built for a big room: everyone answers every question, and the screen counts who's still standing. Save the ask-the-room lifeline for a hard rung near the top.
- Guests on a video call
- Remote guests climb the same ladder as the room. The standing count on screen includes everyone.

Questions people ask
- Is famous couples trivia good for a reception?
- Yes. Guests who don't know the couple well can play as easily as their best friends, which makes it a good pick for a big room.
- What happens if everyone gets one wrong?
- The room catches them: nobody falls on that rung, nobody scores it, and the climb goes on.
- Can we play this live instead of on paper?
- Yes. Put the questions on a TV or laptop, guests join from their phones with a QR code, and the answers are revealed on the big screen with scores kept for you. It's free for up to 15 guests.
