Frequently asked questions
How do you play What's On Your Phone at a bridal shower?
The host reads items — a photo of the bride, an app starting with B, battery under 20% — and guests earn the listed points for each item on their phone. Highest total wins.
Does What's On Your Phone work on Zoom?
Perfectly — guests check their own phones and shout their points. It's one of the few games that needs no adaptation at all for virtual showers.
What items go on a What's On Your Phone list?
Mix easy (a selfie, a shopping app), medium (a photo with the bride, a screenshot), and rare (a voicemail from mom, a photo older than two years). Fifteen to twenty items is ideal.
