Birthday Hot Seat

How well do your friends actually know you?

The birthday person sits in the hot seat and answers multiple-choice questions about themselves; four friends guess what they'll say. Points for every correct guess, a 'this is your life' story round, and a group toast. A friend hosts (AI understudy if nobody volunteers).
