Baby Shower Planning FAQs

Quick answers to the questions hosts ask most often.

How many games should I play at a baby shower?+

Three to four games is the sweet spot for most showers — about 30 to 40 minutes of total play. Start with an easy warm-up like emoji pictionary, move to trivia in the middle, and close with something creative. More than five games and the shower starts to feel like a marathon.

What are the best baby shower games for 2026?+

The highest-engagement formats are emoji pictionary (decoding baby phrases from emoji), trivia (baby facts, old wives' tales, nursery rhymes), word scrambles, and price-is-right style guessing games. Skip anything that requires printouts or individual pens — everyone participates better when the group plays together on a shared screen.

How do I host a virtual baby shower on Zoom?+

Send the Zoom link with the start time, pick 3 to 4 games from BabyShowerShow, and share your screen when each game starts. Emoji pictionary and trivia work especially well over video because guests can shout answers in the chat. Keep the full shower under 90 minutes — virtual attention spans are shorter.

Are co-ed baby shower games different from traditional ones?+

Yes — skip anything centered on diapers, pregnancy trivia only moms know, or guess-the-measurement games. Co-ed showers do better with universal formats: emoji pictionary, baby-related movie or song trivia, and The Price Is Right with baby items. Everyone can participate regardless of their relationship to the parents.

What games work best for a large baby shower with 20+ guests?+

Group-format games on a shared screen scale much better than individual activity sheets. Emoji pictionary, trivia, and word scrambles work for any group size because guests play together as one team rather than each guest filling out their own paper. Avoid games that require collecting or grading individual answers.

How do I run baby shower games without any prep?+

Use digital games that play in a browser — no printing, no downloads, no setup. Pick your games ahead of time, bookmark the link, and on shower day just open the page, go fullscreen, and project on a TV or share your screen. Total prep time: under 2 minutes.

Can I play baby shower games on my phone or tablet?+

Yes. BabyShowerShow is fully responsive and works on phones, tablets, laptops, and TVs. For a group shower, project on the largest screen available — TV via HDMI or casting works best so everyone can see the slides. For a virtual shower, share your screen from a laptop.

How do I share baby shower games on a TV or over Zoom?+

Six methods, all under 60 seconds. In person: AirPlay from an iPhone, Chromecast from a Chrome tab, or a plain HDMI cable from a laptop to the TV. Virtual: screen-share the babyshowershow.com tab on Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams. See the step-by-step guide →

How much do baby shower games cost?+

The first 3 puzzles of every game on BabyShowerShow are free — no account needed. Unlocking all answers across all 20 games costs $9.99 as a one-time payment for 30-day access. No subscription, no recurring charges.
