Why couples love this game
A recorded answer is funnier than a spoken one. The pause before the video plays, with everyone watching the bride commit to a guess, is the whole format — and pre-recording means the groom can be as honest as he likes.
Tips to make it more fun
- Film in landscape and somewhere quiet — you will be playing it to a room.
- Tell the groom to answer honestly rather than diplomatically.
- Fifteen questions is about twenty minutes with reactions.
- Have the clips ready to play in order before the party starts.
