Why it works at a party

It gets guests talking. Strangers at the same table compare answers and swap stories.

Anyone can play: grandparents, teenagers, the plus-one who’s never met the bride.

It’s personal. No two puzzles are the same, because it’s all about your person.

How it works

  1. Write your questions

    Questions about the guest of honor, each with a one-word answer.

  2. Choose a grid size

    Smaller for a quick game, bigger for a real challenge. Create, and the puzzle is built for you.

  3. Print one for each guest

    Download a printer-ready PDF, plus a color answer key so the host can crown the winner.

Party planning questions

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Yes, it's free, and you can make and print a puzzle without an account. A free account lets you save your puzzle to reprint or change for the next party.

How many questions should I write?

About 12 makes a good party game: enough to keep everyone busy for ten or fifteen minutes. Bigger grids allow more, up to 33.

What makes a good question?

One with a one-word answer that close friends would know and other guests could guess: a favorite food, a first pet, where the couple met, the honeymoon destination. Answers can be up to 20 letters.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. One click downloads a color answer key with every word marked in the grid and every answer listed, so the host can check papers and crown a winner.

What size should I print?

The download is a PDF sized for US Letter paper, so it prints at the right size. Print one for each guest. A PNG image is available too.

Can guests play on their phones?

These puzzles are made for paper. For a wedding reception, our sister site Us.FunAndReverence makes an interactive version guests play on their phones by scanning a QR code.

The party game that’s all about them.
