A Christmas party game for the whole family, with gift ideas included
Dinner is over, the presents are unwrapped and everyone is on their phone anyway. A price guessing game turns that moment into something the whole family can play, grandparents and kids included. It also works at an office Christmas party.
Why price guessing works at Christmas
Anyone can play, whatever their age or gaming experience, and the rules fit in one sentence: look at the product and guess its price within 15 seconds. Different generations guess very differently, which makes the reveals fun.
The products range from gadgets and toys to kitchen helpers and beauty items, so you will probably spot a gift idea or two. Every result screen links to the product.
How to set it up in two minutes
- One person creates a lobby on waskostas.app (this needs a free account).
- Show the QR code on the screen or send the link to the family group chat.
- Everyone joins in their browser as a guest, without an account.
- Choose a category, for example toys or home and kitchen, and 5 or 10 rounds.
- Start the game.
Ideas for a family tournament
- Play several short games and add up the points to find the Christmas champion.
- Form teams: kids against parents, or one household against another.
- Let the winner of each game pick the next category.
- Give a small prize for the best guess of the evening.
For office Christmas parties
Price guessing makes an easy icebreaker for a team. Nobody needs prior knowledge, nobody gets asked awkward questions, and a game is over in ten minutes. Colleagues working from home can join over a video call.
