What Is the Find the Guest Game?
Find the Guest is a people‑focused scavenger hunt where guests look for someone who fits each description on the list. It might be someone who has traveled abroad, someone who loves coffee, or someone who has met the mom‑to‑be before high school. Guests write down the name of the person who matches each prompt, and the first one to complete the list wins.
It’s light, social, and perfect for breaking the ice early in the shower.
Why Guests Love This Game
Guests love this game because it’s interactive without being embarrassing or competitive. It gives everyone a natural reason to chat, meet new people, and learn fun facts about each other. It’s especially great for showers with mixed friend groups, coworkers, or extended family who may not know each other well.
How to Play
- Create a list of prompts for guests to match.
- Give each guest a game card and a pen.
- Guests walk around the room finding someone who fits each description.
- They write down the person’s name next to each prompt.
- The first guest to complete the list — or the guest with the most filled in — wins.
You can also set a timer for a more relaxed version.
