The Couples Game
Four couples, four chairs, one phone each. One partner predicts, the other answers out loud, and the room watches the reveal. Kind by design, funny by accident.
Guess what they will say.
- Four chairs face the room in front of the screen. One partner from each couple sits; the other stands behind with the couple's phone, signed in as Couple 1 through 4.
- The host puts up the question. It shows on the screen and on the phones. The standing partner types what they think the seated partner will say, and sends it. A warning clock hurries the stragglers.
- The host asks the seated partner the same question out loud, and they answer.
- The host reveals the prediction on the big screen next to the couple's score, and scores it: points for a match.
- Next couple. Each round the partners switch places, and it runs as long as the room wants it.
The title screen, on your screen. The same game has a coworkers look and a best-friends look.
Four couples, and everyone watching.
Four couples at a time: the couple of the day and three from the guest list, with everyone else as the audience, which is the point. It needs one phone per couple with a signal. The fifty loaded questions can be edited, swapped, or written about the couple, and the coworkers and best-friends looks turn it into a game for a team or a college floor.
Short, on purpose.
The format that fits between other things: a segment at a shower, a break at a rehearsal dinner, or one short round at a reception, after dinner and before the floor opens. We keep it short and the room wants more, which is the right way to leave a game.
The rooms built around two people.
- Showers and engagement parties. The format was built for four couples: the couple in the chairs, three couples from the guest list beside them, phones out, the room as the audience.
- Rehearsal dinners. The two families finally in one room, and a game they can watch.
- Anniversary parties, including independent-living rooms. The long-married couple as contestants, questions reaching back decades.
- Weddings, in one slot only. After dinner, before the dance floor opens, short, every question screened.
The game, the mics, and the sound.
- The host, and the laptop that puts the game on your screen.
- The sound and the microphones.
- The questions, chosen for the room.
Four chairs, four phones.
- A TV or projector we can plug into, and power.
- Four chairs facing the room.
- One phone per couple, with a signal.
- The couples.
The honest answers.
Do the partners hear each other?
Yes, that is the game. Both hear the question; one guesses what the other will say, and the reveal is the fun.
Will anyone be embarrassed?
Not by design. The questions are editable and the set is chosen for the room before the night, so a grandparent can sit in the front row.
Can we play with just one couple?
It is built for four at once, and it is funnier with four. Three couples from the guest list is the usual cast.
