How to play Finish It Your Way
- 1There is no single correct answer: finish each prompt in a funny or warm way.
- 2Guests may answer anonymously, as a team, or pass.
- 3Read responses, then vote for the round's category; ties are welcome.
Scoring and fair answers
The host awards one room-voted point for funniest, warmest, or most useful response; there may be ties.
Choose 5, 10 or all 15 questions. Hints and timers are optional. The host awards points; guests do not need accounts.
Running Finish It Your Way at your shower
About 12 minutes for all 15 questions; a shorter set takes proportionally less.
- 1Choose how many prompts to play before you start. Six is plenty for a room that likes to talk.
- 2Give each team a couple of minutes and a card to write on. Anonymous answers help if guests are shy.
- 3Read the answers aloud yourself in a neutral voice, then reveal the category and let the room vote.
- 4Keep it kind. Nobody should have to share a personal parenting story to take part.
Group size, in person or remote
Best with small to mid-sized groups, where every answer can be read out. In a large room, have each table submit one answer. Over video, guests post answers in chat or send them privately to the host.
Who it suits
Friends, family and coworkers who enjoy a bit of creative writing. It fits a quieter stretch of the shower, just before gifts.
Pick something else if…
You need a fast, scored game. Reading answers and voting takes longer than a quiz, so choose Baby Animal Names if time is tight.
Pairs well with
Best for
Showers that want a gentle, heartfelt game amid the louder ones.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a correct answer?+
No. Every prompt accepts original responses. The reveal names a category such as funniest, warmest or most inventive, and the room votes.
How many prompts should we play?+
Six prompts is a good default for discussion play. Hosts can choose 5, 10 or all 15, and guests may pass.
When should I play it?+
It works well as a calmer game right before opening gifts, when you want the room warm rather than rowdy.
Is it suitable for a work shower?+
Yes. The prompts are about the new family's life in general terms, and nobody has to share anything personal. You can skip any prompt before reading it.
