Planning guide
Shower games for large groups
A game that's fun for twelve friends can stall with eighty guests: answers are hard to hear, pencils run out, and someone spends dessert adding up scores. These games hold up at any size.

The short answer
For 40 to 200 guests, play games where everyone answers at once: bingo, guessing games, trivia and advice cards. Avoid games where guests take turns or one person reads every answer aloud. Scoring by phone with one shared screen saves anyone from tallying paper sheets.
What scales
What doesn't scale: anything where guests take turns, or where one person reads every answer aloud.
- Bingo: every guest has a card, nobody has to speak, and the winner shouts.
- Guessing games: a number per guest, closest wins, easy to judge.
- Trivia ladders: everyone answers the same question, so the room plays together.
- Advice cards: one per guest, read the best ones aloud.

Scoring a big room
On paper, have guests swap cards with a neighbor and mark them as you read the answers. Live, the screen does it: every guest answers on their phone, the reveal shows the split, and the leaderboard updates after each question.
The free plan covers 15 guests. For a bigger room, a one-time pass covers up to 100 or 500. See pricing.
