How Find the Guest Bingo works
Open the card
Guests follow your event link on their phones and open Find the Guest. No app download.
Find the person behind a clue
Ask around, introduce yourself and hear their story. Tap the square and choose the guest’s name, or type it in.
Complete a line
The matched square is marked on the card. With this 3 × 3 example, three squares in a row, column or diagonal make bingo.
12 clues that start a conversation
Read each as “Find someone who…” and choose only facts that fit your guests.

Turn their stories into your clues
Ask guests for one hobby, travel story or connection to the couple. Review their replies in Unison, choose a few surprises and leave names out of the clues.
“I lived in Lisbon, Edinburgh and Bristol.”
Your clue“Has lived in three cities”
Mix both families and friendship groups. Check that every clue has a match who will be there; avoid making one person the answer to half the card.
Let guests play at their own pace
- Allow about 20 minutes
- Introduce the game during the drinks reception, when people can chat freely. Pause for food, speeches and formal photos.
- Choose one clear finish
- A line is enough for a short game: three matches on a 3 × 3 card, four on a 4 × 4. Tell guests the rule before they start.
- Let people join in their own way
- Guests can play together on one phone, chat from their seats or skip the game. Keep any prize small and separate from meal service.
