Christmas party games the whole room plays
Christmas party games work best when nobody has to sit one out. With LimeMoment Play, everybody joins on the phone already in their pocket, from Grandad at the end of the table to the new starter at the office do. You put a code on the screen or the table, guests scan it and the quiz begins.
It's made for families and friends around one table, and it's just as ready for a church social, a charity dinner or a planner running a work Christmas party for a few hundred people.
No app to install. No guest accounts. Free for up to 30 people at once.
What you can run on the night
A Christmas quiz with a proper finish
Activity: Live quiz
Every quiz opens with a 3, 2, 1, go countdown. Right answers get a chime and confetti on the phone, and a drumroll brings first, second and third up to the podium with any prize you've set.
On every plan
Bingo through the meal
Activity: Event bingo
Each guest gets their own card of things to spot while the evening goes on. Ticks are saved as they go, so reloading the page doesn't lose a card.
On every plan
Awards the room votes for
Activity: Awards voting
Guests nominate, you shortlist, everybody votes and the winners are revealed together, with joint winners and a runner-up where the votes say so.
On every plan
A tap battle between courses
Activity: Tap battle
A three second countdown, then everybody taps as fast as they can. It's just for fun with no quiz points, and tables can race each other.
On every plan
Table against table
Activity: Table versus table
Teams are ranked by average score, so a big table can't win on numbers alone. Each table's QR code puts guests straight on their own team.
On every plan
Kids and family mode
One switch per quiz gives bigger answer buttons, a calm timer with no ticking and no scores on show until the end, so the youngest players enjoy it too.

Questions hosts ask
The full FAQ covers plans, data and accessibility, and the party quiz guide walks you through a first game.
Do guests need to download anything for these Christmas party games?
No. Guests scan a code or tap a link and play in their phone's browser. There's no app to download and no account to make.
Can I run it at a family Christmas without a big screen?
Yes. Everybody plays on their own phone, and after each question their phone shows how the room answered. A TV or projector is optional.
Can the office Christmas party use it anonymously?
Yes. Switch on anonymous play and no names or photos are collected, so people appear as Participant 1, Participant 2 and so on.
