How it works for grandparents, in 4 steps
Create the party
It takes about two minutes and it is free. Add the date and time; each guest then sees the start in their own time zone and can save it to their calendar.
Seal the gender
Pick it yourself, or send the secret keeper link to whoever knows. It stays sealed on the server until the live reveal, so a grandparent can never see it by accident.
Send the grandparents the link
The same link or 6-letter code as everyone else, by WhatsApp, text or email. They tap it, type a name and they are in the room. Nothing to install and no password to remember.
Find out together
The party starts when the host presses start. Everyone plays by tapping: a short race, a quiz about the parents and a message for the baby. Then the balloon pops and the grandparents see boy or girl at the same second as you.
Made simple for grandparents
One tap to join
The link opens in the browser already on their phone, tablet or laptop. No download, no account, no password.
In the family's language
The party can be played in 36 languages. The host picks the language and every guest plays in it.
Cameras are optional
Everyone plays by tapping, with no video call needed. Call them on video as well if you like, so you hear their reaction when the balloon pops.
A film to watch again
After the party the host gets a memory film of about a minute, with each guest's message to the baby, to send on to the grandparents.
Helping grandparents get ready
Five small things that make the day easier for them.
- Send the link a day early and ask them to tap it once. Guests can open the link early and wait in the lobby. Nothing is revealed until the party has been played, so a practice tap never spoils the answer.
- Choose the screen they already use. A phone, a tablet or a laptop all work. A tablet or laptop gives a bigger picture.
- Pick a time that suits their evening. If they are in another time zone, choose the hour that is comfortable for them and write it in their local time. The invite also shows each guest the start in their own time zone.
- Call them first, then start. A video or phone call at the same time means you hear each other when the answer appears. The reveal itself happens on the link.
- Tell them before the group chat. If you would like the grandparents to feel first, give them the link and the time before you post it to everyone else.
Gender reveal for grandparents: questions
How can grandparents who cannot travel join a gender reveal?
Send them the same link as everyone else. They tap it on a phone, tablet or laptop, type a name and are in the room; no download, no password, and the party can be played in the family's language (36 available). Call them on video as well if you like, so they hear the reaction when the balloon pops.
Do grandparents need to install an app or create an account?
No. It runs in the browser already on their phone. They tap the link, type a name and they are in: no install, no account, no password.
What if they are not good with phones?
Joining is one tap on a link and typing a name. Send the link a day early so they can open it once and wait in the lobby; nothing is revealed until the party has been played. Cameras are optional and everyone plays by tapping.
Is it free?
Yes. It is free to host and free to play. There is no account, no sign-up, no card and no download for anyone, the host or the guests.
Will the grandparents see the answer at the same time as us?
Yes. Everyone is in the same live room and the reveal is shown to every guest at the same time, in any country or time zone.
Can grandparents in another country join?
Yes. The same link works on any phone, on any network, in any country. When you add a date and time to the party, each guest sees the start in their own time zone.
Can the grandparents watch on a TV?
The host can open the host link on a laptop or TV for the people in the room, while everyone else plays on their phone. Grandparents at home join from their own phone, tablet or laptop.
Can we be surprised too?
Yes. Send the secret keeper link to the person who knows the gender (a friend, a sibling, a midwife). They enter it privately, it stays sealed, and you find out live with your guests.
Is there something to keep afterwards?
Yes. After the reveal, a memory film of about a minute is edited automatically and the host is emailed a link when it is ready. The film and raw clips are kept free for 14 days; the optional Keep plan keeps them for a year for $5 USD (one payment, no auto-renew).
Keep planning
They cannot travel. They can still be there.
Set it up today and send the grandparents the link whenever you are ready. It keeps working until the party.
