10 Creative Ways to Use a Custom Guess Who Board

Once you can put any faces on the board, Guess Who stops being just a board game and becomes a flexible activity. Here are ten ways people use custom boards on Guess Who Maker.

Parties and celebrations

Build a board of the guest of honor's favorite movie characters for a birthday, or a board of the whole friend group for a reunion. Seeing your own faces pop up turns a quick game into an inside joke everyone remembers.

For weddings or family gatherings, a board of relatives is a fun ice-breaker that helps different sides of the family learn each other's names.

Classrooms and language learning

Teachers use custom boards to practice descriptive vocabulary: colors, clothing, hair, and 'has / is / wears' sentence structures. It's especially powerful for ESL and foreign-language classes, where asking yes/no questions is exactly the skill being taught.

A board of historical figures, scientists or book characters turns review sessions into a game. Students have to recall facts to ask the right questions.

Teams, online hangouts and more

Remote teams use a board of coworkers as a light onboarding game so new hires learn faces and names. Streamers and online communities build boards of their favorite franchises to play with chat.

Because everything runs in the browser and works on phones, you can start a game anywhere — a long car trip, a waiting room, or a video call with friends on the other side of the world.
