Ring Hunt — Free Bridal Shower Game with Live Tracker
👥 2–30⏱ Runs all party✓ Free · no sign-up
Say a banned word, lose your ring. Free live ring-hunt tracker for bridal showers — runs in the background all party long.
How to play Ring Hunt
- Every guest gets one ring (or clothespin) at arrival and is entered in the live tracker.
- The banned words are announced: wedding, bride, dress, ring.
- Anyone who catches a guest saying a banned word steals a ring from them.
- Ring counts update on the tracker with +/- taps as steals happen.
- It runs in the background of the entire party — betrayals escalate near the end.
- At the announced end time, the guest holding the most rings is crowned.
Host tips
- Announce the banned words THEATRICALLY at the start; half the room forgets within minutes.
- The tracker screen on the wall/TV keeps steals honest and rivalries public.
- Warn the room ten minutes before the finish — the last-minute sting operations are the climax.

What if someone loses all their rings?
