Last-minute shower games with no prep

Forgot the games, or took over hosting at short notice? Every game here is ready as it is. Print it tonight, or open it on the TV tomorrow and let guests play on their phones.

The short answer

With no time to prepare, pick games whose answers are already known: trivia, price guessing and bingo. Add advice or wishes cards, which have no right answer at all. Every game here prints free tonight or runs from a phone on the TV tomorrow.

Games that need nothing from the guest of honor

Quizzes about the bride need her answers ahead of time. If there's no time for that, pick games where the answers are already known: trivia ladders, price guessing and bingo. Or tap the bride's answers in live, from your phone, as she gives them.

Games that need no answers at all

Advice cards, wishes for baby and date night ideas have no right answer, so there's nothing to prepare.

Ten minutes of setup

To play live, plan an event: pick the occasion, type the names, and the starter games are filled in for you. On the day, open the big screen on the TV and the remote on your phone.

Questions people ask

What's the easiest shower game to run?
Bingo. Hand out the cards, call the gifts as they're opened, and the first to five in a row wins.
Can I run the games without the bride's answers?
Yes. Pick trivia, price guessing or bingo, or tap her answers in live as she gives them out loud.

Play it on the big screen

Questions on the TV, answers on guests’ phones, scores kept for you. Free for up to 15 guests.
