Guest Book Prompt Screen
A rotating prompt screen to sit next to your physical guest book, cycling a fresh question every 60 seconds so guests write something better than just 'congrats!'
Built by the AbraCalc team
How to play
- Pick an event theme — Classic Party, Wedding, Birthday, Graduation, or Baby Shower.
- Optionally type your own prompts, one per line, to blend in with the theme's built-in questions.
- Click Show Full Screen to start the rotation next to your guest book.
- Each prompt stays up for 60 seconds with a progress bar, then the screen moves to the next one automatically, cycling through every prompt before repeating.
Set this screen up next to a physical guest book and it takes care of the hardest part: giving guests something better to write than a generic line. Pick an event theme — wedding, birthday, graduation, baby shower, or a general party — and a fresh prompt appears every 60 seconds with a slim progress bar so guests can see when the next question is coming. Each theme ships with six ready-made prompts, and you can add your own lines that blend right in with the theme's questions, so a couple can slip in an inside joke alongside the standard advice-for-the-future prompt. Prompts cycle through the full list before any repeat, so guests won't see the same question twice in a row. Everything runs locally in the browser with no setup beyond picking a theme.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I write my own prompts instead of the built-in ones?
- Yes. Type any prompts you like into the custom text box, one per line, and they mix into the same rotation as the theme's built-in prompts rather than replacing them.
- Will the same prompt show twice in a row?
- No. Prompts are drawn from a shuffled deck that only repeats a question after every other prompt in the list has already appeared once, so back-to-back repeats can't happen.
- Does this replace the physical guest book?
- No, it's designed to sit beside one. The screen only supplies rotating writing prompts; guests still sign the physical book or card with a pen, this just gives them something more interesting to respond to.
