How to Play the Newlywed Game

 

Play the Newlywed Game as a PRO.

There is no standard way to play the Newlywed Game. The classic approach is to directly ask the couple some questions on the spot and give them time to come up with an answer. 

But this can be tricky, actually. Without proper preparation, the whole game can slow down and the rest of the guests may lose interest.

There is a more dynamic and entertaining way to go about it. Here is a handy guide on how to play the Newlywed Game like a pro:

 

1. Don’t make up questions on the spot!

First of all, there should be a designated judge or host who is neither the bride nor the groom, of course. 

This person must be in charge of preparing the questions well in advance and sending them separately to each of the parties involved. And don’t worry about the questions, we’ll get to that later!

The bride and groom need to answer them accurately and send them back to the judge who will have them ready for the big event.

Make sure the person you choose has a way with words and a great sense of humor! The host is the linchpin for this game to be truly entertaining and keep everyone engaged.

2. Explain the rules.

Showtime is here! The host will gather all the guests in a specific room and then place the couple in the center of the stage. It is crucial to make a clear and fun introduction to make sure that everyone in the room understands what it is all about.

Then, to get things rolling, the host will ask one of the spouses to leave the room. Right after, they will read every question on the list and have the remaining partner guess what their beloved answered. 

Afterward, switch roles and repeat! It’s that easy.

For example, to the question “what was the first thing that popped into your head when you saw your partner for the first time?” Each of them should say what they think the other person thought.

And this is where all the fun begins! The responses that each one of them comes up with may end up being the opposite of what they actually wrote!

Simple, but very entertaining!

 

3. Keep the score and have fun!

Keeping score is not a difficult task, but you have to be very careful not to lose track! Have a blackboard or a sheet of paper nearby for this purpose. Remember to anticipate this as it is not so easy to find these items on the spot.

For each question answered correctly, the participant earns one point. 

Before starting, the couple can guess how many points the other is going to score and check whether they were right afterward. 

Whoever has the most points at the end of the game knows their partner the best and wins the competition!

The winner of the game show on television was rewarded with a large sum of money. In this case, you can get creative with the prize.

You can agree on a fun penance for the loser to fulfill. For example, performing a silly dance or singing a funny song in the microphone.

Think outside the box! The sky is the limit!

 

Other tips.

For the game to run smoothly and become the perfect ice breaker, the host must track the reaction of the audience as well as the contestant couple.

If the audience is drifting away or losing interest, look for the “spicy” questions to grab their attention again! 

And of course, the judge should avoid any scenario that makes the bride and groom feel uncomfortable. So, they must stick to the established questions and make sure the couple approves of them.

Also, to make things more interesting, you can throw in a few penalties for the wrong answers! Like shots or fun dares.
