   • How many: 10+ guests, up to 500
   • How long: 25–45 min
   • Energy: Calm

   Who Said It? · Sangeet: Who Said It?

   Guests answer light prompts anonymously and guess who wrote what. Ideal for the aunties’ table and the friends’ table getting to know each other.

   Merge Mania · Shaadi Merge — rose to the couple

   Shaadi Merge: rose to marigold to mehndi to the mandap and the ring, up to the couple’s photo. A calm puzzle cousins play while they wait.

   Event Face Frames · Haldi and mehendi face frames

   A greenroom mirror on every phone with haldi and Holi frames, stickers and a kaleidoscope; the best snaps hang in a bulb-ringed mirror on the big screen once the host approves them.

   • When: Open all evening beside the main games.
   • How many: 20+ guests, up to 3,000
   • How long: All event

9. 

   Pose Match · Mehendi pose wall: elders and cousins fit the jaali

   A carved jaali wall glides in with a body-shaped hole; one player at a time copies five shapes on the mat. The screen draws a sandstone figure, never their picture.

   • When: A kiosk corner for elders and children, about four minutes a match.
   • How many: One performer at a time, room plays along
   • How long: 4 min
   • Energy: Lively

   A staffed kiosk and big-screen experience, not a phone game. The camera stays on the laptop and nothing is saved.

    Try-On Mirror · Try the safa and the necklace

    A jeweller’s mirror kiosk where guests see the safa, the jhumkas or the reception set on themselves, live, and take the picture home by QR if they want it.

    • When: A steady queue through the afternoon, about a minute each.
    • How many: 1+ guests, up to 1,000
    • How long: All event
    • Energy: Calm

    A staffed kiosk, not a phone game. The camera stays on the kiosk and nothing is saved unless the guest asks.

Side by side

What works in daylight

Outdoors, an LED wall fights the sun: a large TV in the shade or a projector under a canopy works better, and every game here still plays fully on the phones. Keep rounds short and let guests drift in and out; Tambola runs happily for forty minutes in the background.
