Shoe game questions
The couple sits back to back, each holding one of their own shoes and one of their partner's. You read a question and they raise the shoe of whoever it describes. In the live version, guests predict each answer from their phones first.

Running it for your group
- A small group
- In a small room, skip the scoring and just enjoy the arguments when the couple disagree.
- A big room
- At a reception, give the couple a microphone and seat them where the whole room can see their hands. Let guests predict each answer on their phones so everyone is playing, not just watching.
- Guests on a video call
- On a call, the couple needs to be on camera together. Put the camera far enough back to see both shoes.
