35 who knows the couple best questions

This is the game that gets the biggest reaction at a shower or a wedding, and it lives or dies on the questions. Below are 35 that work, split into the classic who is more likely round and a set for guests to answer about the couple.

How to run it

This is the game played at engagement parties, weddings and showers, where guests or the couple themselves guess who is more likely to do each thing.

The usual format: read the question, both partners hold up a card or point at whoever the answer is. If they point at the same person, that is a point. If they point at each other, that is the funny one.

Twenty questions is plenty. Forty is too many, and the room stops listening.

How well do you know the couple

Frequently asked questions

How do you play who knows the couple best?

Read a question and have both partners point at whoever the answer is, at the same time. Matching answers score a point, and pointing at each other is where the laugh comes from. Twenty questions is plenty.

How many questions should you ask?

Around twenty for the couple's round. Any more and the room stops listening, which matters more than covering every topic.

What are good questions for a bridal shower version?

Use the guest round: questions about where they met, their first date and who is the better cook. Guests write answers and the couple marks them, which keeps everyone involved rather than just watching.

Can two people play this on their own?

Yes, and it is better with the answers written down and revealed together, since you cannot read each other's face first. That is the same mechanic that makes the couples quiz work.
