How to Play the Newlywed Game with Celebrate.buzz

You're probably familiar with the game that start out as a popular TV show from the 1960s, but let's add a twist to it. With Celebrate.buzz you can have access to your own version (or versions) of the Newlywed Game, played with video. And it's easy!

Playing the Newlywed Game with Celebrate.buzz is an absolute blast, and it adds a contemporary twist to the traditional game that everyone loves. With many ways to play, you can test how well you and your partner know each other, or even compete against other couples in a 'game show' style.

Regardless of how you play, you get started by having the Quiz Master (or the game show host) send questions to the bride, the groom, or both, where they have to respond with video answers. Then, a quick edit puts all the questions and answers together, to then be exported as a final video and shared on whatever special occasion (the wedding, the showers, the parties) you choose.

Ways to Play the Newlywed Game

The different game modes offered by Celebrate.Buzz cater to various preferences and occasions, like:

  • Traditional Newlywed Game: This mode is perfect for intimate gatherings, engagement parties, or bridal showers. It involves asking questions about the couple's relationship and seeing how well they know each other. For example, ahead of time, the host asks the bride and groom, separately, a series of questions about each other that they need to answer. Then, during the event, guests in attendance can guess what their answer is before the reveal. It's a hilarious way to challenge a couple's knowledge of each other while having a couple of laughs!
  • The Shoe Game: This game adds a quirky twist to the traditional version. The couple sits back to back, each holding one of the other's shoes and one of their own. They'll be asked questions, and then raise the shoe that corresponds to their answer –theirs or their partner's. And you can do it in the Celebrate.buzz version by simply recording answers as a specific shoe is shown to the camera (or a different item like a bowtie for the groom and a flower for the bride; or maybe a pink paddle for the bride and a blue paddle for the groom). It's a hilarious and heartwarming way to see how in sync you are.
  • Reveal What the Groom Said: Feeling competitive? In this mode, get a bunch of your friends in relationships to play! With this version, couples will answer questions separately, and the answers are kept secret until the big reveal. Couples are sent questions to record their answers via video - one partner guesses, the other gives the actual answer - and points are awarded to couples who have the same answers!
