Grocery price guess game
Everyone shops, nobody remembers the prices. This grocery round works at any party: show an item, everyone guesses, closest without going over wins. Prices are typical US supermarket prices and change often, so check them at your store first.

Questions on the TV, guests answer from their phones, the reveal and the scores are automatic. Free for up to 15 guests.

Running it for your group
- A small group
- Bring the real items if you can and pass them round. It's half the fun.
- A big room
- Put a photo of each item on the screen so the back of the room can see it, and play eight items, not twelve.
- Guests on a video call
- Add a photo to each item so remote guests can see what they're guessing.
