Find the Guest — Free Bridal Shower Mingle Game
👥 10–40⏱ 20 min✓ Free · no sign-up
The mingling icebreaker: find a guest for every prompt. 25 prompts, free online, scales to 40 guests. Perfect for large bridal showers.
How to play Find the Guest
- Each guest opens the game on their phone — a list of 25 prompts appears: 'find someone who has been to 5+ weddings', 'find someone who knew the bride before 2015'.
- Guests mingle and hunt for a person matching each prompt.
- When found, type that person's name next to the prompt — one name can't be reused twice.
- The game tracks completion; conversations are the actual point.
- First guest to fill every prompt (or the most at the time limit) wins.
Host tips
- Run it during arrivals — it converts awkward early mingling into a mission.
- Prompts are designed to force stories, not just signatures; encourage the stories.
- The winner announcement is a great segue into the first seated game.

Questions about Find the Guest
What's the ideal group size?
Ten to forty — below ten there aren't enough people to hunt; above forty it works as pure icebreaking without completion.
Can names repeat?
House rule: each guest's name may only be used once per card, which forces wider mingling.
Is there a paper version?
Yes — printable mingle cards are in the bundle for showers that prefer pens.
