Questions about this template

How do we film their reaction?
Send the link while you are on a video call or sitting next to them, press record, and watch the moment the word opens the lock and the news appears on their screen.
Can the answer be the due month or the baby's name?
Yes. Swap the answer for the due month or the name you picked, then rewrite the clue to match. The reveal can show a scan photo or a message from the bump.
What if they cannot guess the word?
The question gives the length and three playful clues: nine months, 3 am, spoiling. The optional hint nearly spells it out, and a wrong guess shows a gentle, funny message.
Is this template free?
Playing it and editing it in the builder are free for everyone, and players never pay. See current plans and features on the pricing page.
Can I change the answers and the texts?
Yes. Every code, clue, hint and piece of locked content opens in the builder, and nothing is saved until you publish.
What do players need?
A phone or a computer with a browser. They open your link or scan your QR code, and never create an account.
How long does it take to play?
About 5 minutes, from the first lock to the locked content.
