Bridal shower game No. 08 · Free
Bridal Jeopardy
Pick a square. Buzz in first.
A board of twenty-five clues across five categories goes up on the big screen. Guests pick a square, the clue appears, and every phone becomes a buzzer. First to buzz answers out loud; the bride has the answer on her phone and settles any arguments. It is the loudest game of the day.

Hosting tips
From real showers- Play it with drinks in hand and the bride as judge. Arguments are part of the format.
- Write one category that is entirely about her. "Her Twenties" for 100 to 500.
- Let the person who answered correctly pick the next square. It keeps the room moving.
Questions
AnsweredHow does buzzing work?
Every phone shows a single big button when a clue is up. The first tap wins the buzzer and that guest answers out loud.
Can I change the categories?
Yes. The editor lets you rewrite any clue, answer or category, so one column can be entirely about the bride.
How long is a full board?
Around twenty-five minutes for all twenty-five squares. You can stop early and show the scores at any time.
