How to play

How to play how well do you know them: a short video
  1. 1Have the guest of honor answer every question ahead of time, in secret.
  2. 2Show one question at a time on the big screen, or read it aloud.
  3. 3Guests pick or write their answer.
  4. 4Reveal the real answer. Every correct guess scores a point.
  5. 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.
