10 Fun Ways to Compare Family Photos

Family photos are more fun with a game attached. Here are ten ways to turn 'who do they look like?' into an event.

A box of old photos is a party waiting to happen. Here are ten ways to make 'who do they look like?' the most fun part of the gathering.

1. Same-age showdown. Line up each person next to a parent at the same age and vote on the closest match.
2. Baby-shower bets. Before the baby arrives, have guests guess 'mom or dad?' and settle it later.
3. Generation ladder. Put four generations in a row and trace which feature traveled the furthest.
4. Guess the relative. Crop out everything but the eyes and have people guess whose they are.
5. Mystery cousin. Mix in a photo of an unrelated friend and see if anyone can spot the impostor.
6. Then-and-now. Compare a grandparent's youth photo to a grandchild today.
7. Sibling rankings. Rank siblings from 'most like mom' to 'most like dad.'
8. Pet round (just for laughs). Owners and their dogs. You know the ones.
9. Decade dress-up. Recreate an old family photo pose and compare side by side.
10. AI tiebreaker. When the table can't agree, run the photos through a family resemblance test for a 'neutral' verdict.

However you play it, remember the verdicts are for laughs. Resemblance is famously unpredictable — that's what makes the guessing fun in the first place.
