Questions

How does a baby pool work?

Guests guess the baby's birth date, weight, length and sometimes hair colour before the birth. When the baby arrives, the closest guess on each question scores, and the guest with the most points wins.

How is the winner worked out?

For a number or a date, the closest guess scores and ties all score. For multiple choice and written answers, the right answer scores. You can also choose the winner by hand from the list of every guess.

Can guests guess when they RSVP?

Yes. Turn on Ask on the RSVP form and the questions appear under Play along as guests reply. It's always optional, and they can also guess later from the event page or a QR code.

Can I run a Super Bowl props or Oscars ballot?

Yes. Super Bowl props and Awards ballot are presets of the same game, with multiple-choice questions you can edit, scored when you enter the results.
