How a long-distance gender reveal works, in 4 steps
Create the party
It takes about two minutes and it is free. Name the party and 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 (a friend, a sibling, a midwife). It stays sealed on the server until the live reveal.
Send one link
One link or 6-letter code for both countries. Guests open it in their phone's browser, type a name and pick team pink or team blue. No app, no account.
Reveal it live, together
The party starts when the host presses start. Everyone plays a short race and a quiz about the parents, leaves a message for the baby, and then the balloon pops for every guest at the same second.
What makes it work across distance
One synchronized moment
Nobody sees the answer early and nobody watches a recording later. The reveal is shown live to every guest at the same time.
Time zones handled on the invite
Add a date and time to the party and each guest sees the start in their own time zone, so nobody has to do the maths.
Any phone, any network
Everyone is on their own phone and their own internet. Cameras are optional, so a guest with a weak connection can still play and see the reveal.
36 languages
The host picks the party language when creating the reveal, and every guest plays in it.
Planning across two time zones
The link does the technical part. These choices are yours.
- Pick the hour for the furthest person. An evening in Europe is morning in North America and late night in parts of Asia. Choose the slot that is reasonable for the guests furthest away, usually a weekend.
- Write the time once in each clock. The invite shows each guest their own local time. In the family chat, also write it out once for both countries so there is no doubt.
- Send the link a day early. Guests can open the link early and wait in the lobby. Nothing is revealed until the party has been played, so opening it early never spoils the answer.
- Keep a video call open if you want faces on a big screen. You can keep Zoom, FaceTime or WhatsApp open on a laptop and use the link on phones for the game and the reveal.
- Put it on the TV for the people in the room. Open the host link on a laptop or TV at home. Everyone else plays on their phone from wherever they are, and both sides see the same live party.
Long-distance gender reveal: questions
How do you do a gender reveal with family in different countries at the same time?
Create a free party, add one start time and send the same link to everyone. Family in different countries open it on their own phones and join the same live room. The reveal happens at the same second for everyone, whether they are in the next street or on another continent.
What about time zones?
Time zones only matter for choosing when to meet. When you add a date and time to the party, each guest sees the start in their own time zone and can save it to their calendar. The party starts when the host presses start.
Do people need to download an app?
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.
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.
Does everyone need to be on the same Wi-Fi?
No. Everyone is on their own phone, on their own internet, wherever they are.
Is there a guest limit?
No. There is no guest limit, and everyone plays on their own phone.
Does it work in other languages?
Yes, 36 languages. The host picks the party language when creating the reveal, and every guest plays in it.
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).
