If you’re already humming the Jeopardy! theme song, this might just be the perfect baby shower game for you. Baby Jeopardy! is based on the classic TV game show of the same name and follows the same general rules. There are sets of categories, each question is worth a set dollar amount, and the players give their answers in the form of a question to rack up money to win. The catch is that all of the categories are all baby-related! We’ve got everything you need to learn to play this game, PLUS a free download to help you get started!

The Price Is Right
Picture it: It’s summer break, your parents are at work, and you’ve just made yourself a nice, big bowl of cereal. What are you plopping down in front of the TV to watch? If you’re a part of Gen X or a millennial, we’re willing to bet The Price Is Right is on your screen. We’ve developed a baby shower version of this beloved TV show, and the best part is that it’s perfect for remote baby showers. (Sorry, America’s favorite game show host Bob Barker is not included.) Using items from the parents’ baby registry, guests will have a limited amount of time to guess the price of selected items. Whoever gets closest to the actual dollar amount of the items without going over wins! Check out our guide on how to play this fun virtual shower game and get a free download.
Mommy or Daddy
Remember high school superlatives? Maybe you won “Most Likely to Succeed,” or “Class Clown.” Well, this baby shower game is similar, and it’s fun and easy to play. The host comes up with a list of superlatives that the guests will then assign to either the new mom or dad. There is no “winner” with this game, but if the parents-to-be have a good sense of humor, it’s a great opportunity to get a lot of laughs from baby shower guests. Who will get “Most Likely to Get Peed On,” “Most Likely to Put a Diaper on Backwards,” or “Most Likely to Helicopter Parent”? Bonus: this one is easily adaptable for a virtual baby shower!

Scavenger Hunt
We love the idea of a virtual scavenger hunt! The rules are simple: The host calls out a baby-related item (a bottle, a diaper, a onesie, etc.), and each guest has a specific amount of time to get up and find that item in their home. The first five guests who find the item get to move on to the next round, and the game continues! To make things even more interesting, we encourage dressing up like a pirate to really get into the spirit of the scavenger hunt.
But even if eye patches and fake parrots aren’t your thing, check out our how-to guide and free download to make this game a smashing success. (Seriously though, consider the pirate thing. It’d be hilarious.)
Guess the Baby
With a little preparation, you can create a fun and adorable game that involves both the parents-to-be and the baby shower guests with the “Guess the Baby” game. You can take advantage of a few of our WebBabyShower features to help plan and execute this game: Email guests ahead of time and ask them to email you photos of themselves as a baby. Once you get everyone’s photos, use our gallery feature to play the game. Add the photos and have guests submit their guesses as to who each baby photo belongs to using the guestbook feature. Guests can also email the host their guesses. The guest with the most correct answers wins! Check out our guide for more info on how to play this game.
What’s in the Purse/Diaper Bag?
If your baby shower guest list consists of brave folks who aren’t easily embarrassed, the “What’s in Your Purse/Diaper Bag?” game has the potential for so much fun — and it’s easily adaptable for a remote baby shower! Shower guests get a list of things you’d typically find in a diaper bag — a diaper, baby wipes, a bottle, etc. — or things found in a purse like keys, gum, and more. Then guests have to race to find the listed item! Whoever returns first with the item wins the round.
