How do I run a wedding quiz for guests?

Run a wedding quiz as a 10-minute game about the couple, between courses or before the speeches, when guests are seated and can see the screen. Write eight to twelve questions that friends and family could guess: where the couple met, who planned the first date, their first trip together, a childhood nickname. Mix in two or three easy ones so every table scores. In QG Playground, type the questions yourself, or ask Granny, the built-in AI, to turn a short story about the couple into multiple-choice questions that you then check. Put the QR code and room code on the venue screen. Guests join at qgplay.live on their phones with no app, answer on a timer, and watch the leaderboard race. The winning table gets a toast from the couple. The Free plan covers 20 players a session, and a one-off event pass covers a single big day of up to 2,000 guests.

When to run it

Run it when guests are seated and can see the screen: between courses at the reception, or just before the speeches, when the room is already listening. Ten minutes is enough. Avoid the arrival hour, when people are still finding their tables, and the dance floor, when nobody is looking at a screen.

Question prompts about the couple

These are prompts for you to fill in with the couple's real story, not questions with answers:

  • “Where did they first meet?”
  • “Who said yes faster?”
  • “Their first trip together was to…”
  • “Who planned the first date?”
  • “What was the childhood nickname of…?”
  • A “Which of them…?” round, with the two names as the options.

Ask a sibling or a close friend to check the answers, and keep two or three easy ones so every table scores.

Tables as teams

One phone per table, with the table name as the nickname: “Table 4”, or the name of the couple's favourite film. The table talks over each answer together, which is half the fun, and the leaderboard shows the tables racing each other. It also means guests who don't want to use a phone can still play.

Setting up at the venue

  1. Check that the venue screen or projector can open a web browser, or bring a laptop to plug in.
  2. Put the QR code on the screen when you open the room, so guests can scan it from their seats.
  3. For anyone who can't scan, read out the 6-character room code.
  4. Do a test run on your own phone the day before, at the venue if you can.
