If you want a party game that’s guaranteed to get everyone laughing, reminiscing, and maybe even learning something new, a “Who Knows Mum Best?” quiz is a classic. I used this at my mum’s 70th birthday, and it sparked so many funny stories and sweet moments.

How It Works
The idea is simple: create a quiz all about your guest of honour. Ask questions about their favourite things, funny habits, childhood dreams, and little known facts. Guests write down their answers, and the person who gets the most right wins a prize (or just bragging rights!).
Here are some question ideas to get you started:
- What did she want to be when she grew up?
- What’s her favourite snack?
- What was her first job?
- What’s her go-to karaoke song?
- What’s her favourite holiday destination?
- What’s her most-used emoji?
- What’s her favourite flower?
- Who is her celebrity crush?
- What’s her favourite colour?
- What’s her guilty pleasure TV show?
- What’s her signature dish or bake?
- What’s her dream job (if she could do anything)?
- What’s her favourite way to relax?
- What’s the best gift she’s ever received?
- What’s her biggest pet peeve?
- What’s a saying she always uses?
- What’s her favourite childhood memory?
- What’s her favourite season of the year?
- What’s her favourite book or author?
- What’s her proudest achievement?
- What’s her favourite family tradition?
- Does she believe in ghosts?
- What’s her biggest fear?
- What’s her favourite animal?
- What’s her favourite thing about birthdays?
- What’s her favourite quote or saying?
- What’s something she can’t live without?
- If she were an animal, which one would she be and why?
- What’s her favourite thing to do on weekends?
You can make your quiz as sweet, silly, or surprising as you like. The best part is hearing the stories and memories that come out as everyone tries to guess the answers.
