On-the-Day Games

A big screen and everyone's phone

On-the-Day Games turns the projector at your reception into a live game show. You open the host display on the laptop driving the screen, your guests open the play page on their phones and sign in the same way they do for the rest of your site, and the room plays together in real time.

The screen is the source of truth. Questions, live result bars and the leaderboard all appear there for everyone to watch, while each phone shows the options to tap and a little personal feedback. Guests never see anyone else's answers on their own screen, so the reveal always lands on the big one.

You drive the whole thing from a handful of on-screen buttons, with keyboard shortcuts for the host (space to start or move on, R to reveal, escape to exit). There is no fiddly setup mid-reception.

Fourteen ways to play

Fourteen game types run on the same engine, so they all feel consistent and you can mix as many as you like into your evening. There is a couples quiz (how well do your guests know you), live trivia, instant polls and this-or-that votes, predictions about how the day unfolds, and a word cloud that grows live as words come in.

There is also a closest-guess number game, a caption contest where guests write a caption and then vote for the funniest, word unscrambles, higher-or-lower, put-it-in-order, wedding bingo with a randomised card for every guest, true-or-false, photo trivia, and a tap-as-fast-as-you-can reaction race.

Games are priced at £7 each, or you can take all fourteen in the Games pack for £54. They are also included in the Premium pack.

Set it all up beforehand

You write your games in the dashboard well ahead of the day. The hub has the game catalogue on one side and your own games on the other, so you can add several of the same type with different names. You set the questions, the options, the correct answers where it matters, and an optional card photo for each game.

When a game is ready you mark it so. A test mode lets you rehearse a real session on the screen and a phone before the wedding, so there are no surprises on the night. After a practice run, a single reset clears the answers ready for the real thing.

Everything stays fair and clean

The game logic keeps the day honest. Correct answers stay on the server and never reach a phone before you reveal them, so nobody can peek. The timer is worked out live from when each question started, so every phone counts down together even on patchy reception venue wifi.

Free-text answers, like word-cloud words and captions, are filtered for anything rude before they are stored, so the screen stays family friendly with the grandparents watching.
