Hens and bucks
Hens night and bucks night games that go beyond the printable quiz
The classic hens night game is a printed sheet of twenty questions about the bride, written by one friend, mostly about favourite colours. Your group knows far more than that. Here is how to use it, for a hens night, a bucks night or a joint party.
Ideas
Four ideas for a hens or bucks night
For a weekend away, a long lunch, or drinks before the big night out.
A "how well do you know the bride" quiz the whole group writes
Instead of one friend writing twenty questions, ask every guest for a fact or a story. The school friends, the uni friends and the work friends each know a different person, and the quiz shows it.
The groom's answers, or the bride's
Ask the partner a few questions ahead of time: the first date, the worst gift, the habit they'd change. Then see who in the group comes closest. It's the classic hens game, with better questions.
Stories they'd rather forget
Every group has them. Ask for the ones that are fine to tell in front of everyone, and let the room guess whose story it is.
Advice from those who've been there
Ask anyone with a long relationship behind them for one piece of advice. Read the good ones out and keep the rest for the keepsake.
What to ask for
What to ask the group for
Send these with the plans, two or three weeks out. Tell people stories can be cheeky, not cruel.
- What's the best story about them that's safe to tell this group?
- Send a photo from a trip, a party or a terrible haircut era, with where and when.
- What do they always order, always say, or always do?
- Who would they call at 2am, and why?
- One piece of advice for married life.
Why it works
Why not a printed hens game?
A printed quiz is one friend's questions with the answers on the back. Hear Hear is more than a party game: it builds the quiz from what the whole group sends, the AI writes wrong answers convincing enough to fool the people who know the bride or groom best, and everyone answers on their phone at the same time.
How to run it
How to run a hens or bucks with Hear Hear
Set it up for mates.
Pick Hens party or Bucks party, say it's mates, and set the tone anywhere from heartfelt to roast. The Roast only ever appears for a crowd of mates.
Share the link with the group.
Put it in the group chat with the plans. Guests send stories, photos and toasts from their phone, and the person it's for never sees any of it beforehand.
Decide how much you see.
Approve everything first, send it straight to the TV, or go Blind and see it all with everyone else.
Run it before you head out.
Thirty minutes at lunch or at the house is enough. Everyone answers on their phone, and The Final crowns who knows them best.
Setup suggests the Big Night theme for this occasion. You can change it any time, even during the event.

FAQ
Questions people ask
- Does it work for a joint hens and bucks?
- Each event is about one person, so for a joint party run one for each of them, or make it about one and ask for stories about both.
- Can the partner take part?
- Yes. They can send answers and stories like any guest, and the person it's for still sees nothing until the event.
- How cheeky can it get?
- As cheeky as you set it. Choose who is coming and where the tone sits; family crowds never get the Roast, and you can check everything before it goes on the screen.
