About Baby Shower Showdown
Baby Shower Showdown is a packing race. Every guest gets the same forty-seven-item hospital list on their phone, shuffled into their own order, and races to fill Baby's bag with exactly the seventeen things the baby actually needs.
Then it flips. The second round packs Mom's bag instead - twenty-one items - and everything that was right a moment ago is now the mistake. The reversal is the whole joke, and it catches almost everyone at least once. The host can run either round on its own or both back to back.
Because every phone gets the list in a different order, nobody can win by copying the guest beside them. One to sixteen players and eight to fourteen minutes, so it fits between the food and the presents rather than taking over the afternoon.
The board goes on a TV, a laptop or a propped-up phone; guests join by scanning a QR code, with nothing to install and no accounts to make.
How a room starts
- Pick a game from the catalog — every occasion has its own room.
- Put the game's board screen where everyone can see it: a TV, a laptop, or a shared screen on a video call.
- Players scan the QR code (or type the room code) in their phone's browser. No app, no account.
- Play — everyone answers, votes, and scores from their own phone.
How to play Baby Shower Showdown
A short narrated walkthrough of the whole game, from joining on your phone to the final scores: watch the how-to video. It is one tap from inside the room too, so a first-time group never needs the rules explained.

- Yes. The host chooses Baby's bag, Mom's bag, or both.
- Can guests copy each other's answers?
- Not usefully. Everyone gets the same list shuffled into a different order on their own phone.
- How long does it take?
- Eight to fourteen minutes depending on whether the host runs one round or both.
- Is anything printed?
- Nothing. The list is on each guest's phone and the scores add themselves up.
