Games that need no paper

Classic shower games work well on phones: guesses are collected in one place, results appear on the screen and nobody has to count slips. Guess a number and quiz answers are revealed when you choose, then read the winners out loud.

  • Guess a number for the weight, the length or the birth date
  • A poll for the name, the first word or who the baby looks like
  • Open text and a word cloud for advice and wishes

Keep the surprise

Collect the guesses before the big news and reveal the right answer when you choose. Guests who cannot come can join from home with the short link, so grandparents abroad still play.

A keepsake for the parents

Advice and wishes arrive as text answers that you can read at the party. With Solo and Pro you can export results as CSV, so the parents keep the messages after the party.
