Why one link works for a hybrid team
One link in the team chat
Pop the link or the 6-letter code into Teams, Zoom or Slack. Colleagues open it on their phone or laptop browser.
Nothing to install
No app, no account, no password. Everyone types a name and they are in, even on a locked-down work laptop.
Cameras optional
Nobody has to be on video. Handy for the colleague on the train, in a busy open-plan office or working from the kitchen table.
Hybrid-friendly timing
Add a date and time. Each person sees the start in their own time zone, so your London, Manchester and remote colleagues all turn up together. They can save it to their calendar.
Workplace etiquette: keep it easy for everyone
- Make it optional. Invite, don't require, and steer clear of month-end or deadline days.
- Keep it short. Ten minutes at the end of a team meeting or at the start of lunch is plenty.
- Say the time clearly for colleagues in other time zones, and check whether the clocks have just changed (GMT or BST).
- No presents expected. If colleagues ask, a card or a group message is plenty.
- Keep the guessing light. Nobody should be put on the spot on camera or asked for opinions about the baby.
- Check with your line manager or HR first if your workplace has rules about events in working hours, and keep it to a lunch break if in doubt.

A 10-minute running order
Minutes 0-2
Everyone joins from the link in the chat. Put the kettle on and say hello while the stragglers arrive.
Minutes 2-4
Pick team pink or team blue. Guessing is optional and nobody has to explain their pick.
Minutes 4-8
A quick live game and a few questions about you. Winners are just for bragging rights.
Minutes 8-10
The reveal, at the same second for everyone. Cheers in the chat, then back to your inbox.
Set up beforehand: create the party, add the time, and paste the link into the meeting invite or chat. It takes about two minutes.
Reveal with colleagues: your questions
How do I do a gender reveal with colleagues on Teams or Zoom?
At the end of a regular team call, paste one link into the chat. Colleagues open it on their own phone or laptop, join the same live room and see the reveal at the same second. A 10-minute running order is on this page.
Do colleagues need an app or an account?
No. Guests open the link in their browser (or type the 6-letter code), enter a name and they are in.
Is it free?
Yes. Creating the party, sharing the link and playing are free. No card is required.
Do cameras have to be on?
No. Cameras are optional, so people can join without being on video.
Can we do it during a lunch break?
Yes. The running order takes about ten minutes, so it fits at the start of lunch or the end of a team meeting. Share the link beforehand and colleagues can open it early and wait in the lobby.
What about colleagues in different time zones?
Each guest sees the start time in their own time zone and can save it to their calendar. The link works on any phone, on any network, in any country.
Can I keep the gender a secret from myself too?
Yes. Send the secret keeper link to the person who knows (a midwife, a friend, a sibling). They enter it privately, it stays sealed, and you find out live with your colleagues.
Can the link be opened before the party?
Yes. Guests can open it early and wait in the lobby. Nothing is revealed until the party has been played.
