Meet Maya.

Nobody here is real — your friends will be. No sign-up, nothing saved.

Answer
Pick the occasion and answer a few questions about the guest of honor. We write the wrong answers.
Share
One link for the group chat, or a QR code on the invite. Guests tap their name; no app, no sign-up.
Reveal
Everyone plays on their own phone, wherever they are. Then you run the reveal and the winner's on every screen.

Made for the occasion

23 to 40 prompts per occasion, plus 8 to 11 superlatives the room votes on — written like a friend would ask. Add your own, and photos.

Three ways to play

Same questions, same reveal, same keepsake — a different clock. You pick when you publish.

Classic
One sitting

Everyone answers at their own pace. You reveal the answers together — on phones or a TV.

Blitz
A clock on every question

5, 10 or 15 seconds each (superlatives aren't timed). Points for speed, bonuses for streaks, instant right-or-wrong.

Countdown
A question a morning

Questions unlock morning by morning until the event — a couple a day if there are more questions than mornings. Each answer arrives with the next question.

In the Guessbook app

Your calendar knows who's next

Connect your calendar and the birthdays, showers and weddings ahead become gentle reminders to make the game — a heads-up two weeks before the day, with the guest of honor's name on it. Your calendar never leaves your phone.

iPhone and Android apps are on the way — the web version works on every phone today.

The reveal is the party

When you start the reveal, every guest's phone follows along: the crowd's split, the right answer, who nailed it, and a leaderboard that builds question by question — so nobody knows who won until the podium. Seven people in seven cities on a call, or forty at a table. A TV is optional.

A baby shower watching the reveal on the living-room television: the question, the crowd's split, and the right answer.

Give $5, get $5. Every host gets a link from their dashboard: a friend who uses it takes $5 off a Party Pass or the Club, and you get $5 toward your next one. Sales tax is added at checkout where we have to collect it.

Questions people ask

Do guests need to download anything?
No. The link opens in the browser on any phone. Guests tap their name and play. No account, no app.
Does everyone have to be in the same place?
No. Play-ahead is the default: people play on their own time, from anywhere. The reveal runs on every phone at once, so a group on a video call gets the whole show. A TV in the room is optional.
What are Blitz and Countdown?
Two other tempos for the same game. Blitz puts a clock on every question — ten seconds, one tap, points for speed and streaks — and works solo on phones or synced on a TV. Countdown unlocks one question a morning until your event date, with each answer arriving alongside the next question; the podium goes up on the day. Classic is the original: answer at your pace, reveal together.
What does it cost?
Building, previewing and playing with up to 4 players is free. Game Night ($4.99 once) opens one Guessbook to 10 players; the Club ($6.99/month) makes every game you create fit 10. Throwing a real party? The Party Pass ($19, one time) opens one Guessbook to everyone you invite, for good — refundable until the reveal runs or the day of the event.
Is there a discount?
Give $5, get $5. Every host gets a referral link from their dashboard — a friend who uses it takes $5 off a Party Pass or the Club, and you get $5 toward your next one. Promo codes also go in at checkout.
Can I fix a question after people have played?
Yes. Edit anything from the dashboard; results recompute on the spot and you're told how many people that touched.
Who writes the wrong answers?
For the built-in prompts, we do. For your own questions, tap “Suggest some” and pick from plausible wrong answers, or write your own.
