A fun prediction game for baby showers, gender reveals, or office celebrations. Guests claim squares to predict the baby's birth date and time. Whoever matches the last digits wins bragging rights!
Baby squares bring the fun of the classic football squares format to baby showers. A 10x10 grid creates 100 squares, with one axis representing the last digit of the birth date (0-9) and the other representing the last digit of the birth time in minutes (0-9). For more on how the grid concept works, see our How to Play guide.
When the baby arrives, you check the actual birth date and time. For example, if baby is born on the 14th at 3:47 PM, the winning square is where 4 (last digit of date) meets 7 (last digit of minutes). Whoever claimed that square earns the bragging rights!
Unlike trivia or guessing games, baby squares gives everyone an equal chance. The numbers are randomized, so whether you know the parents well or just met them, you have the same shot at winning.
The beauty of baby squares is that every square has an equal chance of winning. Since birth timing is unpredictable, there are no "better" or "worse" squares. It is all about the luck of when baby decides to arrive!
Baby squares work for all kinds of gatherings and groups.
The classic setting. Set up a tablet or poster at the shower and let guests claim their squares in person.

Set up your baby squares game in about a minute.
Enter the baby's name (or parents' names) and the due date. Customize your grid title if you would like.
Send one link to your group via text, email, or social media. Guests claim squares by entering their name. No account needed.
Once your grid is full (or when you are ready), randomize the numbers with one click. This assigns the date and time digits to rows and columns.
When baby arrives, enter the birth date and time. The winning square is automatically highlighted!

Numbers are randomly assigned with one click. Everyone gets a fair shot at winning.

Works perfectly on phones and tablets. Guests can claim squares from anywhere.
No fees, no premium tiers, no hidden costs. Create as many games as you need.
Birth date and time is the most popular format, but you can adapt the game to use different axes:
When you create your game, you can customize the axis labels to match whichever format you prefer. You can also use our Custom Squares builder for full control over labels and scoring.
Set it up a few weeks before the due date to give everyone time to claim their squares. The baby shower is a perfect time to share the link, but you can start earlier for remote participants.
That is fine! You do not need all 100 squares claimed. Just make sure to randomize the numbers before baby arrives. Empty squares simply will not have anyone to claim the bragging rights if they win.
Yes! It is up to you. Some hosts limit each person to one square to spread the fun, while others let people claim as many as they want.
If baby is born at exactly 12:00, the minutes digit is 0. If born at midnight on the 10th, the date digit is 0 (last digit of 10). The math still works!
No. You will get an admin link to manage your game, and guests can claim squares without signing up for anything.
Absolutely! You could create two separate games (one for each baby) or use one game and pick the winner based on the first baby born.
Our squares platform works for sports too.
Create your baby squares game in under a minute. It is free, fun, and your guests will love it.
