Guess the Guest
Before dinner everyone submits a weird talent, a wild experience, or an improbable fact — lived in Taiwan, met a head of state, turned down a six-figure offer. The host reads them one at a time and the table guesses whose is whose. The fastest way to find out you barely know your friends.
What it's for
Surface what people have never thought to share — the facts that don’t come up in normal conversation but are usually the most interesting.
The guest's job
Submit one genuine weird fact, talent, or experience before dinner; it should be true and surprising.
The vote
Open table: who owns each anonymous submission? First correct guess wins the round.
The reveal
The owner stands up and confirms or denies each guess — then gives the two-sentence version of the real story.
Food & drink spine
Anything low-key that doesn’t interrupt the reading rhythm; the host keeps it moving between courses.
Conversation fuel
"Which fact made you realize you’d fundamentally misjudged someone at this table?"
How it flops — steer around it
Facts that are too obscure or too obvious. The sweet spot is the thing that’s surprising but feels true once revealed.
