What Is the Newlywed Game?
The Newlywed Game refers to a party game based on a 1960s television game show by the same name, where couples take a quiz to determine how much information they know about each other. The game is typically played at wedding-related events, including wedding showers, engagement parties, bachelorette parties, and wedding receptions.
Usually, the primary objective is to let couples take a nostalgic walk down memory lane, reminiscing on their favorite moments in the relationship as they also test their knowledge of each other’s interests. The game can also serve as an exciting ice-breaker, allowing other guests to uncover fun facts about the couple.
How to Play the Newlywed Game
As we’ve just pointed out, the Newlywed Game was inspired by a television game show by the same name. The game show featured a host and four couples, and the couples were normally those who had been married for less than two years.
The show commenced with a brief introduction to learn some basic information about the participating couples. Thereafter, the couples were separated from their partners and then asked a series of questions pertaining to their relationship. The questions would cover the full spectrum, ranging from utterly silly to deeply romantic ones. However, most of the questions were fairly G-rated.
The respondents were then expected to guess how their partners would answer those questions. Couples with matching answers were awarded some points and the pair with the most points became the ultimate winner. And this is where the game became more interesting. Couples that had been together long enough still fumbled with the answers. On numerous occasions, newlyweds outperformed older couples.
As the Newlywed game show garnered tremendous popularity over the years, there were also some modifications to the gameplay.
For instance, the game can now be played by any couple and not necessarily those who have been married for a maximum of two years. Couples celebrating their 50th marriage anniversary, as well as those who’ve just met, can also play the Newlywed Game.
Also, the game isn’t only played at wedding-related events. It has since found its way into date nights, dinner parties, family get-togethers, and in various other forms of social gathering.
However, the one thing that’s remained unchanged is the objective of the Newlywed Game, which is to test how well couples know one another.
If you’re considering hosting your own version of the Newlywed Game, it’s important to plan ahead. And a huge part of your planning should entail identifying potential participants and selecting the right questions to ask.
Once you have the questions and the participants, proceed as follows;
i. Introduce the game to the couples by explaining the ground rules.
The assumption here is that you’re simply the host and not one of the participating couples.
ii. Separate the couples by having one partner from each couple leave the room.
iii. Subject the remaining partner to a series of the newlywed questions from the list, writing down their answers.
iv. After asking all the questions and recording their corresponding answers, invite the other partner back into the room and subject them to the same list of questions.
v. Record the points the couple scores based on the total number of their matching answers.
vi. Repeat the same process with a new couple.
vii. In the end, tally the matching answers from each couple.
The couple with the highest score wins a prize.
Note: Most Newlywed Games go through three rounds. But you can have as many rounds as possible, provided that everyone has fun.
Also, remember to save tougher questions for last. And the harder a question is, the higher the bonus should be.
Most importantly, keep the questions G-rated. Avoid asking overly subjective questions or questions whose answers might put the couples in a compromising situation. So, as a host, ensure you know your audience well.
