6 gender reveal games you can play online
A reveal is more fun when there is something to actually do beforehand, not just a countdown and a wait. These six games work whether your guests are in the same room or joining from somewhere else entirely.
Mix one into your reveal, or run through a few of them back to back before the big moment.
A reveal quiz that doubles as the game
Instead of a separate game, make the reveal itself the entertainment. Guests answer a few questions about the parents on the gender reveal quiz page, then the screen bursts into confetti with the answer the moment they pass.
Best for: combining the game and the reveal into one moment.
Guess the due date
Everyone writes down a due date guess, collected through a shared form or a group chat, and whoever lands closest wins a small prize at the reveal.
Best for: a game that runs for weeks before the big day.
Baby bingo
Print or share digital bingo cards filled with common baby shower phrases and gifts, then play a round together over video call before the reveal.
Best for: a party style game that works over a screen just as well as in person.
Boy or girl text vote
Ask everyone to text their prediction before the reveal, then read out the final tally right before you show the answer.
Best for: building suspense in the days leading up to the reveal.
Name that name
Read out a list of popular baby names on a call and have everyone shout out which ones they think are on your shortlist, just for fun before the real reveal.
Best for: a quick, lighthearted round to open the call with.
Wishes for the baby
Collect a wish or a piece of advice from each guest through a shared document or a simple form, then read a few aloud during the reveal.
Best for: a sentimental touch that is not really a guessing game at all.

Common questions
What is a good gender reveal game for a video call?
Baby bingo and guess the due date both work well over video call, since everyone can play from their own screen without needing to be in the same room.
Can gender reveal games work for a small group?
Yes. A reveal quiz or a due date guess both work whether you have five guests or fifty, since each person plays on their own.
Do gender reveal games need to be in person?
No. Every game on this list can be run entirely online, through a shared link, a group chat, or a video call.
What is the simplest gender reveal game to set up?
A reveal quiz takes the least setup. Create it once, send one link, and the game and the reveal happen in the same moment.
