Birthday party games that are all about them
The birthday party games people remember are the ones about the person they came to celebrate. LimeMoment Play asks the room what the birthday star would say, builds a word cloud about them and crowns a winner on the podium, all on the phones your guests already have.
It works for a family party at home, a surprise 40th with friends or a big 60th, and it's ready for planners and venues who run birthdays every week.
No app to install. No guest accounts. Free for up to 30 people at once.
Games made for a birthday
How well do you know me?
Guests guess what the birthday star would pick, then they choose their own answer live. The people who know them best climb the leaderboard.
On every plan
One word for the birthday star
Activity: Word cloud
Everybody sends one word and the most popular grow biggest in the middle. It takes one tap to set up and you can keep it in your Event Story.
On every plan
Predictions for the year ahead
Activity: Predictions
Guests write what they think the next year or the next decade holds, and you keep every prediction with the rest of the moment.
On every plan
The hot seat
Activity: Hot seat
Put somebody in the hot seat and the room predicts whether they'll get it right. Anyone can ask not to be picked, and nobody who opted out ever is.
On every plan
Kids and family mode
One switch per quiz gives bigger answer buttons, a calm timer with no ticking and no scores until the end, and the reveal says 'Great try!' instead of a buzzer.
On every plan
Lime AI writes it for you
Lime AI already knows the occasion and who it's for. Tell it how long you've got and it writes the programme. Anything it had to guess waits for you to confirm before it can score anybody.

Questions hosts ask
The full FAQ covers plans, data and accessibility, and the party quiz guide walks you through a first game.
Are these birthday party games suitable for children?
Yes. Kids and family mode drops the speed bonus, shows a calm timer and keeps scores hidden until the end, so younger players aren't put off by a leaderboard.
Can family who can't be there join the birthday party games?
Yes. Guests anywhere in the world join with the same link and play in real time. If they choose to share where they are, the screen welcomes them by town.
Can I test it before the party?
Yes. Practise it first gives you a private copy to play on your own phone, which guests never see and which never counts.
