An evening wedding reception in a marquee under fairy lights, guests in formal wear at round candlelit tables smiling at their phones, a big screen glowing softly at the far end.

Wedding reception and rehearsal dinner games on phones

Wedding // No app

Games that get a long table of half-strangers guessing about each other and the couple. Everyone plays on their own phone, with no host, no microphone and no printed cards.

A rehearsal dinner, a welcome drinks night or a small reception has the same problem: people who half know each other, a long table and a lull between courses. Phone games fix that without a host, a microphone or a printed card. Everyone joins with a code, and a TV, projector or laptop screen shows the shared picture.

These are general party games, not wedding games with wedding-specific cards. The games that suit a wedding table are the ones that get guests guessing about each other, and about the couple, which is where most of the laughs are.

Wedding games on phones: three steps

The host opens keyholegames.com/tv on the TV or a laptop. A party room opens with a QR code and four letters on the big screen. No TV? The host taps Host a party on their phone and the phone does the screen's job.
Guests scan the code or type the four letters. They scan with the phone camera, or open keyholegames.com and type the letters. No app, no download and no account for guests.
The host picks a game, and everyone plays free. Each phone shows only that player's own screen: their vote, their secret word, their answer. When a game ends, the host picks the next one and nobody joins again.

Five games for a rehearsal dinner or a small reception

The first game is free for good. The other four are in Party Pack 01.

Which Would Ya?
Free for good · 2 to 20 phones · All ages, grown-ups pack 18+
A choice lands on every phone. Everyone picks a side in secret, then guesses how much of the room picked the same. The split lands on every screen at once, and the argument starts.
Good for mixing tables, because nobody needs to know the other guests to have a view on a choice.
About Which Would Ya?
Who Knows Ya Best?
Party Pack 01 · 2 to 20 phones · Family pack 6+, couples and mates pack 12+
One player takes the hot seat and answers questions about themselves in secret. Everyone else guesses what they picked. Or pair up and find out how well you really know your partner.
Put the bride or groom, or both, in the hot seat and let the guests guess. Pairs mode suits a couple: each of you guesses the other.
About Who Knows Ya Best?
Read the Room
Party Pack 01 · 2 to 12 phones · All ages, grown-ups pack 18+
One player sees a secret spot on a dial between two opposites, like Cold and Hot, and gives one clue out loud. Everyone else drags their own dial to where they think the clue points. The closer you land, the more you score.
About Read the Room
Near Enough
Party Pack 01 · 2 to 20 phones · Ages 6+, grown-ups pack 18+
A number question and a secret dial on every phone. Back the guess you think is closest, then watch the real answer drop on the screen.
About Near Enough
Dob In a Mate
Party Pack 01 · 3 to 20 phones · Ages 6+, grown-ups pack 18+
A question lands on every phone. Everyone votes in secret for the person it fits best, then the room finds out.
Pick the family or mates pack so the questions stay warm and a bit cheeky. Keep the grown-ups pack for a bridal party night, not a table with grandparents.
About Dob In a Mate

What to expect, honestly

It fits 20 phones or fewer in one room. That suits a rehearsal dinner, a bridal party, a welcome dinner or one long family table. For a 100 person reception, treat it as a table activity rather than a whole room event.
There are no wedding-specific cards in Party Pack 01. The questions are general. If you want cards written about the bride and her crew, see our bachelorette party games page.
Guests need a phone with signal or venue Wi-Fi. No app and no account.
Not everyone has to play. Older relatives can watch the screen and call out guesses while others play.

Setup tips for a wedding venue

Ask the venue about a screen. A TV, projector or an HDMI input on a laptop will do. Our Get it on your TV page has steps for common devices.
Check Wi-Fi or mobile signal at the table. Open keyholegames.com/tv on the laptop beforehand and join with your own phone as a test.
Choose a host who is not the couple. A best man, maid of honor or sibling starts the room and picks the games. The host needs a free account.
Write the four letters on a table card or say them out loud. The QR code on the screen does the rest.
Keep it to two or three short rounds between courses or before the toasts, so it stays a warm up and not the whole evening.
