A Wedding game starring your best friend
A wedding present for a best friend: their face on the hero, the other half's worst habit as the boss, and taunts from the years before the wedding that the speeches left out. The win message is the toast you would have given if they had let you.
Give it at the reception on a phone passed round the table, and film them playing it. Or send it the morning after with the trailer, when they are at the airport and need something to do.
Example: Sam vs The Other Half's Snoring, playing itself. Tap to take over. Yours has their face and your jokes.
Bosses that work for a best friend
- Monday Morning · the enemy of everything good
- The Kayak · the incident we do not discuss
- Their Ex · with the face blurred, if you like
Jokes that land
Three inside jokes become the taunts. For a best friend, think the kayak incident, the tacos at 2am, or the night that ended at the airport. You can rewrite every line.

On the day
Give it at the reception, on a phone passed around the table, and film the couple playing it. Or send it the morning after with the trailer, when they are on the way to the airport and need something to do. The QR code fits in the card with the money.
The photo
The worst good photo you have. Straight on, face visible, and it will look great as a pixel sprite even if it is terrible as a photo.
Difficulty
Normal takes a few tries, which is the point. Easy if they are likely to give up after one loss.
Questions people ask
- Should the hero be the bride or the groom?
- Pick the one who will play it first, and make the boss something the other one does. The win message is for both of them.
- Can a group of us send it?
- Yes. One person makes it and everyone signs the win message. Then the link goes in the group chat and you all watch them play it.
- What photo works best?
- A clear head-and-shoulders shot on a plain background. Selfies are fine. Group photos are not, since we cut out one person.
- Can I change it after publishing?
- You can edit the lines and message from the same device you made it on. Sprites are fixed once published.
