Guess 13 for a confirmation: how to make it (+ questions)

Guess 13 is a firm favourite: a coupon of 13 questions about the guest of honour, each with three answers (1, X and 2). Guests fill it in, and whoever knows them best wins.

This guide gives you the template, example questions for every category, and two ways to play — the printed coupon at the table or live on guests' phones.

How to make a Guess 13

Pick 13 questions about the guest of honour and give each three answers, one of them correct. Mix the categories — childhood, family, facts, the funny and one embarrassing — so the coupon gets both nostalgia and laughs.

Mark the correct answer (1, X or 2), print the coupon for every guest, and read the questions aloud during the party while they fill it in. Most correct wins.

Example questions

Childhood: What was the guest of honour's first pet? · What did they want to be growing up?

Facts: What is their shoe size? · How many hours a day are they on the phone?

Funny: What do they say way too often? · What do they spend the most money on?

Print or play live on mobile

The classic way is the printed coupon on the table. But guests can also scan a QR code and answer live on mobile — the system counts correct answers automatically and reveals the winner on the big screen.

Question bank: 6 categories

Childhood: What was their first pet? · Which school did they go to? · What was their favourite toy?

Family: Which family member do they resemble most? · How many cousins do they have? · What does the family call them?

Facts: Shoe size? · Hours a day on the phone? · Favourite dish?

Funny: What do they say way too often? · What do they spend the most money on? · What are they hopeless at?

Interests: Which show can they watch again and again? · What do they dream of becoming? · Favourite subject at school?

Embarrassing: Their most embarrassing memory? · What did they once ruin in the kitchen?

Rules, tips and prizes

The rule is simple: most correct of the 13 wins. For a tie, add a tie-breaker (e.g. 'guess their age in days'). Read the questions one at a time and reveal the answers at the end to keep the tension.

A small prize makes it more fun — a bottle of wine, a box of chocolates, or just the title of 'who knows them best'. Mix the categories so the coupon hits both nostalgia and laughs.
