Baby shower
Gender reveal predictions
Before the cake is cut or the balloon is popped, every guest makes their call. Boy or girl, and why. Who baby will look like. A name they'd pick. The predictions go up on the screen just before the reveal, so everyone sees who called it.
Play it live
Questions on the TV, guests answer from their phones, the reveal and the scores are automatic. Free for up to 15 guests.

How to play
- 1Hand every guest a card, or let them write on their phone.
- 2Read the prompt aloud.
- 3Guests write a prediction or a piece of advice, or bet some of their 100 chips on an outcome.
- 4When a bet is decided (who cried first, the baby's hair colour), the host settles it. A right bet wins its chips back doubled.
- 5Share the best advice out loud and keep every card for the guest of honor.
Running it for your group
- A small group
- Read every card aloud at the end. With a small group, there's time.
- A big room
- Put the cards or the QR code out as guests arrive, then read out the five best. Open the bets early so they can settle during the party.
- Guests on a video call
- Remote guests write and bet on their phones, and their answers go on the wall with everyone else's.

Questions people ask
- When should guests make their predictions?
- As they arrive, and before the reveal. Close the cards or the phones a few minutes before, so nobody changes their guess after seeing the color.
- Can we keep the predictions?
- Yes. On paper, keep the cards. Live, every answer goes into a keepsake page you can print for the baby book.
- Can we play this live instead of on paper?
- Yes. Put the questions on a TV or laptop, guests join from their phones with a QR code, and the answers are revealed on the big screen with scores kept for you. It's free for up to 15 guests.
