Introduction

Looking for a fun and engaging game to keep your bridal shower guests entertained? Look no further than the Ring Hunt bridal shower game! This active game adds a dash of excitement and friendly competition, ensuring everyone has a blast.

Perfect for all ages, Ring Hunt will have your guests searching high and low for hidden treasures, all while celebrating the bride-to-be. Let’s take a look at how to set up and play this fun and easy game.

What You Need to Play

To host a successful Ring Hunt (also known as the Hidden Rings Bridal Shower Game), you’ll need a few simple items:

Fake plastic rings (available at party stores or online)
Small containers or decorative bags (for collecting rings)
A designated playing area
Your favorite version of our printable sign (see below) plus an 8×10 frame to display it
A timer or stopwatch (optional)
Prizes for the winners

How to Play: Simple Rules

Prepare the Rings: Before the event, hide the fake plastic rings around the designated playing area. This could be indoors, outdoors, or a combination of both. Make sure the rings are placed in various spots, some easy to find and others more challenging.
Explain the game: As guests arrive, hand them the small container and tell them they have until gift opening begins to find any rings hidden around the venue. Encourage them to look high and low, and don’t forget to check those unexpected spots! Use one of our handy ready-to-go signs to help!
End the Hunt: When the first gift is about to be opened, have everyone return with their collected rings to count the rings each person has found.
Declare the Winners: The person with the most rings wins! If you’ve prepared prizes for your bridal shower games, now’s the time to hand them out. Prizes can be anything from small trinkets to gift cards, depending on your budget.

Alternate Rules: Timed Play

Divide into Teams: Depending on the number of guests, you can either have individuals hunt for rings or divide them into small teams. Team play can add an extra layer of excitement and camaraderie.
Set a Timer: Explain the rules to the guests and set a timer for the hunt. Typically, 10-15 minutes is a good duration, but you can adjust based on your preference and the number of rings hidden.
Start the Hunt: Once the timer starts, guests can begin searching for the hidden rings.
End the Hunt: When the timer goes off, have everyone return to the starting point with their collected rings. Count the rings each person or team has found and declare a winner!

Extra Tips

Theme the Rings: To add a personal touch, consider using rings that match the bridal shower’s theme or the bride’s favorite colors. Or instead of rings, use an alternative object that would be meaningful to the bride or the theme.
Incorporate Clues: For a twist, provide guests with clues or riddles leading to the rings’ locations. This adds an extra challenge and keeps the game exciting.
Keep It Fair: Make sure to hide the rings in accessible places, avoiding spots that are too difficult or potentially unsafe to reach.
Capture the Fun: Assign someone to take photos or videos during the hunt. These candid moments will make great additions to the bridal shower album.

The Ring Hunt bridal shower game is a wonderful way to bring guests together, creating a sense of fun and competition while celebrating the bride-to-be. It’s simple to set up, easy to play, and guarantees laughter and memories. So, gather your rings, set your timer, and let the hunt begin!
