A pregnancy announcement reveal is a locked link. You hide a message, a scan photo, or a due date behind a small lock, send the link, and your family crack the code on their phone to find out you are expecting. Free, no app, and nothing to sign up for on their side.
Write the announcement, add the scan photo if you like, and pick a word or a date only your family can guess.
Send the link by text or email, or print the QR code inside a card. An Event Pass adds a theme and a filmed unlock animation to the lock.
They crack the code on their phone and the announcement is revealed. No app, no account.
Designed down to the last detail
Nothing on the screen is fixed. Pick a theme, choose a filmed object that fidgets while the lock holds and opens on video, with sound, when the code is right, then a celebration for the moment it opens. Set the typeface and size, and end on your own reveal. Your players see exactly the screen you designed.
Everything you can design on a lock →51 themes, and more in the builder. Each one paints the lock, its keys and its button.
45 filmed objects that fidget while the lock holds and open on video, with sound, when the lock gives way.
37 typefaces and 6 text sizes, from a phone in hand to a screen across the room.
Or your own two pictures
Upload a closed and an open picture: the parcel as wrapped, then what was inside. Included with the Event Pass and Pro.
Every theme, every filmed animation, your own pictures, the celebrations, typefaces and text sizes come with the Event Pass or Pro. A basic lock keeps the default theme.
This is the lock in the demo above, the way most parents set it up. Copy it as is, or swap the word and the reveal.
Set the code to your due date, hint 'the day it all changes', and reveal a photo of the test.
Lock 'You're going to be grandparents' behind an answer only they would know, like the family dog's name.
Let an older child crack a one-digit lock that reveals 'You're going to be a big brother'.
Hide the first scan image behind the lock and send that instead of a plain photo.
One link for everyone abroad, opened at an agreed time, so nobody hears it second-hand.
Print the QR code inside a greeting card. The card says 'scan me', the lock says the rest.
Free, with unlimited attempts on every plan. The Event Pass, paid once for one event, removes the Lock Challenge branding from the reveal.

A pregnancy announcement reveal is a locked web page. The announcement, a message, a scan photo or a due date, sits behind a small lock. You share the link, and the person who opens it has to crack the code, by typing a word, a date, or solving a short puzzle, before the news appears.
Create a free lock, type your announcement as the reveal, pick a word or a date as the answer, and publish. You get a link and a QR code. Send the link, and your family crack the code on their phone. Read how to announce your pregnancy to grandparents.
Yes, on every plan, free included: an image, audio, a YouTube video, and several items in one reveal, as well as text with bold, sizes and links.
No. Anyone with the link can crack the code in their phone's browser, with no sign-up and nothing to install.
They try again. Attempts are unlimited on every plan, free included, and you can add a hint that players open with a button, or that shows itself after three wrong answers.
Yes. Creating and sharing a pregnancy reveal is free, with a message, a photo, a video or a voice note behind the lock, and it never expires. An Event Pass or Pro styles it with a theme, an animation and your own pictures, and removes the small 'Powered by Lock Challenge' line.
Hide it behind a lock they crack on their phone, and turn a text message into a memory. Create your reveal free.
