Newlywed game questions

How to play

1. Add the couples. One couple is enough; a whole bridal shower works too.
2. Ask the question. The host reads it out. Both partners write their answer on paper or in their notes, without looking.
3. Reveal together. On three, both partners show their answers. If they match, tap "Matched" for that couple.
4. Play ten rounds. The scoreboard shows who knows each other best.

Hosting a bridal shower? Split the questions so the bride or groom answers some before the party, and have the partner answer them live.
