Okay bestie, gather around because we need to talk about baby shower games.

We all know the ones. The melted chocolate bar in the diaper game (why do we keep doing this to ourselves). The word scramble that takes forty-five minutes. The “guess the baby food flavor” game that traumatizes everyone involved. These games have their place, sure, but if you are planning a baby shower and you want people to actually have fun, like real, genuine, belly-laughing, roasting-the-parents fun, then you need this game.

The “Who Is Most Likely To — Daddy or Mommy” game is hands down one of the best things you can do at a baby shower. It is hilarious. It is revealing. It sparks conversations. It gives everyone a chance to weigh in on the couple. It makes the parents-to-be squirm in the best possible way. And unlike the diaper chocolate game, nobody ends up smelling anything questionable.

Here is the concept if you have not played it before. You read a question out loud, something like “Who is most likely to forget where they put the baby’s pacifier?” and everyone in the room, including the couple themselves, has to point to either the daddy or the mommy. The disagreements, the knowing looks, the parents pointing at each other, that is where the gold is. That is where the memories get made.

I have put together 200 of the best questions for this game: funny ones, sweet ones, parenting-specific ones, ones that will make everyone in the room burst out laughing, and a few that will genuinely make the mama tear up in the best possible way. This is the most comprehensive list you will find anywhere, and I promise your baby shower is going to be unforgettable. Catch up on the previous and more game questions, journal prompts and conversation starters.

Why This Game Is Perfect for Baby Showers

Before we get to the questions, let me make the case for why this specific game works so beautifully in a baby shower setting, because it is not just fun, it is genuinely meaningful.

First, it celebrates the couple as a team. A baby shower is not just about the baby. It is about two people standing on the edge of one of the biggest transitions of their lives, and this game puts a spotlight on their dynamic, their personalities, and the beautiful, hilarious, specific way they work together. Guests get to celebrate not just the baby but the two people who are going to raise that baby.

Second, it gets everyone involved. Unlike games where only one person plays at a time, the “who is most likely to” format invites every single person in the room to participate simultaneously. Grandma is pointing. The college friends are pointing. The coworkers are pointing. Everyone has an opinion and everyone gets to share it at the same time. It is wonderfully chaotic and wonderfully inclusive.

Third, it creates a real snapshot of this moment in time. The answers people give, the things they predict about the parents, the things the couple says about each other, all of that is a beautiful record of who these two people are right now, before the baby arrives and changes everything. If you are doing a baby shower scrapbook or memory book, capture the answers. They will be gold to look back on in ten years.

And fourth, it is just really, really funny. And every baby shower needs more of that.

How to Play, The Simple Version

Here is how to run the game smoothly whether you have fifteen guests or fifty.

Option One: The Pointing Game

Read each question aloud. On the count of three, every guest points to either the daddy or the mommy. The couple also points at each other. If the couple agrees with what the majority of the room says, they get a point. First to ten points wins a small prize. This format is great for larger groups.

Option Two: The Voting Cards

Give every guest two cards, one that says DADDY and one that says MOMMY. Read each question and have everyone hold up their card simultaneously. Count the votes. Read the couple’s answers last for maximum drama. This works brilliantly for smaller, more intimate gatherings.

Option Three: The Couple’s Game

Print out the questions in advance and have the couple answer them separately before the shower, without seeing each other’s answers. Read the questions at the shower and reveal their answers side by side. Where they match, everyone cheers. Where they disagree, everyone gets to weigh in. This version is particularly memorable and revealing.

Option Four: Just the Highlight Questions

If you do not want to go through all 200 (though you absolutely could, spread them across the whole shower), pick 20 to 30 questions that feel most relevant to this specific couple and use just those. Customize for your people.

Pro Tips for Running the Game

Read the questions with energy and commitment, your delivery sets the tone. Pause after each one to let the chaos of everyone pointing play out. Encourage the couple to explain their answers when they disagree with the room. Have someone ready to capture the best moments on camera. And always, always save the most emotional questions for the end, after everyone is warmed up and the laughter has already been flowing.

Tips for Making This Game Unforgettable

Assign a Game Host

The couple should not have to run this game themselves. Assign a fun, high-energy friend or family member as the official host for this round. Someone who is not afraid of a little banter, who will ham it up, and who will draw out the best reactions from both the couple and the crowd.

Mix the Sections Throughout the Shower

Do not do all 200 in one sitting unless your crowd is truly that committed (no judgment if they are). Instead, spread them out. Open with a funny round from Section 1 or 2 to warm everyone up. Do the sleep section after the gift opening when everyone needs a laugh. Save Section 8 for the very end when the emotion of the day has built and tissues are nearby.

Capture the Couple’s Reactions on Camera

Assign someone specifically to film the couple’s faces as the questions are read, especially the ones they disagree on and the ones from the sentimental final section. These are the moments you are going to want to watch back in five years at the baby’s birthday party.

Encourage the Backstory

After particularly juicy or funny answers, ask the couple to explain. “Why did everyone point at you for that one?” The stories behind the answers are almost always funnier and more revealing than the answers themselves.

Use the Sentimental Questions as Keepsakes

Print out Section 8 and have every guest write their answer on a card as a keepsake for the couple. Who the room believes will be the parent who changes the most, who will love most fiercely, who this baby is luckiest to have: those answers, in the handwriting of the people who love this family most, become something the couple will keep forever.

Personalize the Questions

Feel free to customize any question to fit the specific couple. Swap in their real names, real habits, real inside jokes. The more specific it is to them, the harder everyone will laugh and the more meaningful it will feel.

A Note From Me to You

Whether you are the one planning this shower, the mama sitting in the center of it all, the daddy trying to hold it together, or a guest who loves this family fiercely, I want to say something. This is such a sacred moment.

The questions in this list are silly and funny and designed to make everyone roar with laughter. But underneath every single one of them is something deeply true: two people are about to become parents. The world is about to have one more person in it who is loved before they have even taken their first breath. And everyone in that room showed up because they wanted to stand close to that miracle for a moment.

Do not let the day rush past. Let it settle. Let the laughter linger. Let the sentimental questions land. Let the couple feel how seen they are, how celebrated they are, how surrounded they are by people who are going to show up for this family.

The baby is lucky. They already are. Not because of anything that can be bought or planned or gifted but because of the people in that room, pointing and laughing and tearing up and cheering.

That is the real gift of a baby shower. And this game is just one beautiful way to give it.
