Quick answerFind the Guest needs each guest's phone (or printed cards) and takes about 20 min. 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'. Then: Guests mingle and hunt for a person matching each prompt.

Frequently asked questions
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.
