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.

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.

- Yes. This one is only about mom, so it works at a mom-only shower or when her partner can't be there.
- How many questions should we play?
- Ten to twelve at the shower. The live version starts with twelve, and you can swap in any of the others.
- 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.
