Save the date games for friends, with each friend's name
₹0 for 2 save the dates, in any of these, with no watermark. A different one for every group, and every family’s own link, come with Plus at ₹2,999 once per wedding.
A save the date game is a thirty-second phone game your friends play before they find out the date. In every ShaadiMode game the friend tries to get the groom out of the wedding, loses on purpose, and the last screen is your save the date with an add to calendar button.
Elders get a card; the friends' group gets a game. The joke is always the same one friends already make: that the groom is trying to escape. The mechanic changes from game to game: holding, driving, cutting, choosing.
The game uses the friend's own name on the first screen, so the link feels like it was made for them. At the end there are buttons to share it and save it.

How each game works
Save the Groom: press and hold
The bride is dragging the groom away and he reaches for your friend. They hold his hand as long as they can, the grip snaps, and the date appears. Ten seconds, the quickest of the ten.
Groom's Escape Car: hold to drive
Your friend holds down to drive the getaway car while a fuel gauge drains and the kilometres to freedom count down. It is the longest game, so friends tend to play it twice.
Groom Rescue Mission: tap, three rounds
Three rounds of tapping to cut the ropes tied around the groom. Every round the rope turns out to be love, and the mission fails into your date.
Choose His Excuse: pick one of four
Work, a boys' trip, being sick, running away: your friend picks the groom's excuse and each one is stamped REJECTED. No timing or skill, so it suits friends who dislike games.
Hide the Groom: pick a hiding spot
Behind the curtain, inside the cake, a fake moustache: your friend picks where the groom hides, and the bride finds him every time. His shoes, the frosting and his dancing give him away.
Guard His Juttis: pick where to guard them
Joota chupai as a game. Your friend chooses where to keep the groom's juttis safe: under a chair, in a safe, on his feet. The sisters get them every time, and he has to pay up.
Dodge the Varmala: swipe left and right
Garlands fly at the groom and your friend swipes to dodge them while a freedom meter fills. The last varmala always lands.
Hold the Door: press and hold
The bride is at the door and your friend holds it shut while a meter shows how much the door has left. It bursts open anyway.
Sneak Him Out: drag past the aunties
Your friend drags the groom through the courtyard, keeping him out of the lantern light so Bua and Masi don't spot him. The gate is right there, and so is the bride.
Runaway Ghodi: tap to jump
The groom rides off on his ghodi and your friend taps to leap over whatever is in the way, metres to freedom counting up. A scooter cuts him off before the end.
How it works
Three steps
Make a friends' group
Put college friends, cousins your age or the office in a group of their own.

Each group can have a different game. Anyone outside it still gets a card.
Send
Each friend's link opens the game with their name on it.
Questions
Save the Date Games, answered
Will my parents' guests get the game too?
Only if you choose it for their group. A game is set per group, so the friends' group can have one while every other family gets a card.
Is there a free save the date game?
Yes. Every game can be one of your free save the dates, with no watermark. A different game for each friends' group comes with Plus.
Can a friend lose the game and miss the date?
No. Every game is written so the groom cannot be saved, and every ending shows the save the date with the names, date and city.
Which save the date game suits a big group chat?
Groom Rescue Mission and Groom's Escape Car, because a score or a distance gives people something to compare. For a group that just wants the joke, Choose His Excuse and Hide the Groom need no skill at all.
Can the bride's friends and the groom's friends get different games?
Yes, on Plus. A game is set per group, so the bride's college friends can get Guard His Juttis while the groom's get Runaway Ghodi, and elders still get a card.
Do the games play sound?
Yes, each has music and sound effects, with a button to switch the music off. The date and names are on screen, so a friend on mute misses nothing.
