How to play

How to play predictions and bets: a short video
  1. 1Hand every guest a card, or let them write on their phone.
  2. 2Read the prompt aloud.
  3. 3Guests write a prediction or a piece of advice, or bet some of their 100 chips on an outcome.
  4. 4When a bet is decided (who cried first, the baby's hair colour), the host settles it. A right bet wins its chips back doubled.
  5. 5Share the best advice out loud and keep every card for the guest of honor.

Running it for your group

A small group
Read every card aloud at the end. With a small group, there's time.
A big room
Put the cards or the QR code out as guests arrive, then read out the five best. Open the bets early so they can settle during the party.
Guests on a video call
Remote guests write and bet on their phones, and their answers go on the wall with everyone else's.

The prompts

  1. 1.Your best piece of marriage advice

  2. 2.Where will the bride and the groom be in ten years?

  3. 3.Predict their first big purchase together

  4. 4.A date night idea for their first anniversary

Questions people ask

What happens to the answers?
On paper, collect the cards in a box. Live, they go up on the big screen as a wall and into a keepsake page the couple can print.
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.
