Every hen do plays the same games. Mr & Mrs with questions printed off a blog post. Who Knows The Bride with the same ten facts everyone guesses anyway. They fill twenty minutes, and nobody talks about them again.
The best hen party games share one thing: they only work for this bride, with this group, on this night. That's the whole idea behind PartyVeil — a live game show built from her stories, her partner's answers and her friends' questionable opinions.
The classics, done properly
You don't need thirty games. You need four good rounds and a room that's laughing. This is the format that works at nearly every hen party — it runs 25–35 minutes, fits between dinner and dancing, and works whether there are six guests or twenty.
- Who Knows the Bride? — trivia about her, generated from real facts the maid of honour provides
- Crowd Vote — who is most likely to miss the flight home? The percentages do the roasting
- Partner Reveal — guests predict the fiancé's answers, then his recorded video plays on the TV
- The Final — double points, a proper leaderboard and one deserving winner
Games that need zero prep (and zero props)
PartyVeil runs in a browser. The host screen goes on the TV or laptop; guests scan a QR code and play from their phones. Nothing to download, nothing to print, nothing to buy from a hen party shop — and crucially, it still works when the cottage Wi-Fi is having a moment.
The organizer answers a short, card-based questionnaire about the bride ten to fifteen facts is ideal. Those facts become the questions, so no two shows are ever the same.
Keeping it classy (or not)
Every group is different, so pick a vibe when you build the show: Sweet for the hen do with mums and aunties, Funny for inside jokes, Cheeky for mild naughtiness, or Wild for the weekend in Benidorm. The system never generates cruel, degrading or humiliating questions — funny, never cringe.
How much does it cost?
Building the show, inviting the partner and previewing everything is free. You pay once — £24.99 — only when you're happy and ready to run the full event. One payment, unlimited guests, no subscription.

Frequently asked questions
How many hen party games do we need?
For a 25–35 minute segment between other activities, four short rounds is the sweet spot: a bride quiz, a crowd vote, the partner reveal and a final. That's exactly what a PartyVeil show contains.
Do guests need to download anything?
No. Guests scan a QR code shown on the host screen and play instantly in their phone's browser. No app, no accounts, no typing in codes.
Can we play hen party games at home?
Yes — PartyVeil works on any TV, laptop, projector or tablet with a browser. It's designed for living rooms, Airbnb kitchens and private function rooms alike.
What if the bride's partner is shy?
He can answer by text instead of video. The partner link works on his phone, takes about five minutes, and she never sees it coming.
