10 Fun Gender Reveal Games for Your Party in 2025

Got a little one on the way? A gender reveal party is undoubtedly one of the most exciting aspects of pregnancy. It’s a chance to bring your loved ones together, celebrate the upcoming arrival, and share the big surprise surrounded by people who mean the most.

So, whether you’re a parent-to-be planning a gender reveal party or the host who has been assigned the duties of helping plan the event and keep the fun going, we’ve compiled the best gender reveal games to make your party livelier and amp up the anticipation for the guests for the final reveal.

If you’re ready to let the games begin, we’ve rounded up 10 fun and creative gender reveal games to make your 2025 party unforgettable.

Team Blue vs. Team Pink

A healthy and timeless competition game – ask your guests to pick a side in advance: Team Pink if they think it’s a girl, Team Blue if they’re predicting the little one to be a boy. You can either request that they dress accordingly (pink if they think it’s a girl, blue if they think it’s a boy) or create pink and blue waistbands, badges, or stickers, then hand them out accordingly.

Hold small competitive games throughout the party. These can include trivia questions, charades, a ping pong toss, a balloon pop challenge, and reward points to each team based on their performance. The winning team achieves the bragging rights if they predicted the gender correctly once the reveal happens.

The game is ideal to have some light-hearted fun and build suspense leading up to the special announcement.

Bib-Decoration Battle

A hands-on activity that not only lets the guests unleash their creativity but also doubles as a keepsake, host a bib-decoration challenge by setting up a small craft station with plain white bibs, paints (fabric-friendly), markers, and embellishments such as ribbons or fabric stickers.

Invite the guests and let them design their unique bibs for the baby. They can include anything to their liking, whether it’s a small doodle, a message for the little one, or a meaningful phrase.

You can even turn this into a challenge by turning it into a fun competition. Assign categories such as “funniest bib”, “most artistic”, or “bib of the day” and let the guests vote for each category. This can be a memorable activity for the guests, and it also leaves a collection of customised bibs for their precious one filled with adoration and creativity.

Who Knows the Parents-to-Be the Best?

Quiz your guests by asking them questions about the parents-to-be. Come up with 10 to 15 questions, such as “What are the parents’ favourite foods?” or “What Hogwarts house would each of the parents-to-be consider themselves to be a member of?” Hand over a paper and a pencil and ask the guests to note down their responses before revealing the correct answer towards the end of the game.

Gender Reveal Trivia

Trivia is always a hit where parties are concerned. Add in a customised quiz for your gender reveal party to make things even more fun. Create a diverse range of questions about parenting, baby names, personal questions about the parents-to-be, and some fun questions that are likely to take the guests off guard. For instance, ask guests how many bones a baby has at birth or when a baby starts to smile socially.

The final round of the challenge could hint at the baby’s gender and add another element of fun. This is an ideal way to engage with the guests as you celebrate.

Pop the Belly

Bring the vibe of a carnival to your gender reveal party with an entertaining pop the balloon dart game – forget about the usual clown targets, bring your favourite types of balloons in to symbolise the mum-to-be’s belly. Fill the balloons with different colours of confetti, blow them up, and pin them to a board.

Guests can then take turns to dart the balloons to pop them and enjoy the colourful bursts of confetti as they go. The suspense can keep building until the special balloon is popped, showing pink or blue confetti and revealing the gender of the baby in a moment of pure excitement and joy.

The Diaper Challenge

Nothing else screams “babies” like nappies (diapers), and there’s no better way to make a gender reveal party entertaining than turning diapers into a fun game. Hand a stack of nappies and a roll of toilet paper to your guests, and watch out for who can diaper a balloon, a doll, or a teddy bear the fastest. You can even blindfold the players to mimic late-night sleep-deprived nappy changes that the parents-to-be will also experience well soon enough.

This can be an entertaining challenge to give guests, even those who aren’t parents, yet a playful glimpse into the realities of raising a precious baby!

Guess the Baby Food

Are your guests familiar with baby food? If not, they soon will be – after they participate in this challenge. Line up several jars of baby food and let the players guess the flavours by smell. You can even use blindfolds for this one to make it more challenging. From banana puree to mashed peas, some foods may be delicious while others may lead to bouts of nausea, but it’s all for good fun.

The game is hilarious and also evokes feelings of nostalgia by reminding everyone about what to expect with the new arrival. You can even include pink-and blue-themed packaging and flavours to align the game with the gender reveal theme.

Gender Reveal Scavenger Hunt

A scavenger hunt is the best game to get your guests moving, mingling, and engaging in some teamwork. Host a gender reveal scavenger hunt and let the guests search for hidden clues around the party venue or space. Each clue can lead the players to the final reveal that can be in the form of a hidden box, an envelope, or even a balloon filled with blue or pink confetti. The reveal comes once the final clue is found, revealing the baby’s gender in an exciting and unforgettable way.

Piñata Smash Reveal

A piñata-style reveal is still very trendy. After all, few things evoke excitement and celebratory feelings as much as smashing a piñata. Host a gender reveal party with a unique twist, such as smashing a piñata filled with pink or blue confetti, small toys, or sweets. Gather all your loved ones around, hand over a bat, and let the special reveal begin as the piñata bursts open, creating an unforgettable memory.

This reveal is filled with colour and energy, leading to a moment filled with laughter, joy, and plenty of pictures to hold dear for a lifetime.

Pin the Pacifier on the Baby

Forget about “pin the tail on the donkey”; pin a poster of a baby on the wall, and blindfold the guests. Have them try to pin a pacifier on the baby’s mouth while blindfolded for a game of laughter and unlimited fun.
