Guess Who, Gorgeous: how it works

You pick the brief and the whole room answers it from their phones: baby photos, pets, desks, holiday disasters. The pictures go up on the big screen one at a time with no name attached and everyone guesses whose it is. A point for each one you call right, and two to anyone who fools the entire room. It is the fastest way to get a crowd of strangers talking to each other, and it costs you nothing but a QR code.

Hosting it

1. Create a game, cast the big screen, and get the QR up — the room needs it from the start, because the photos come in before anything else happens.
2. Pick the brief (a baby photo, a pet, a desk, a holiday snap) or type your own. It locks when the game starts so nobody is answering a different question.
3. Watch the grid fill up on your console. You see every name; nobody else does. Switch a photo off to keep it out of the running, or remove it to delete the file.
4. Start the game when you have at least two photos in. Each photo goes up on the big screen on its own and the room guesses from their phones.
5. Hit Reveal to name the owner and pay out the round: a point per correct guess, and two points to the owner if nobody got it and at least three people tried. Then Next photo.
6. End the game when you're done. That deletes every uploaded photo from the server immediately rather than waiting for the automatic six-hour cleanup.

Playing it

1. Scan the QR, put your name in, and send one photo answering the brief.
2. Keep it to yourself. Half the fun is nobody knowing which one is yours.
3. Photos go up one at a time. Tap whose you think it is — you can change your mind until the host reveals.
4. You can't guess your own, and you can't pick yourself. If yours is on screen, sit tight and keep a straight face.
5. A point for every one you get right. Fool the whole room with yours and you take two.
