Announce a pregnancy with a puzzle

Why a puzzle reveal works so well
Most pregnancy announcements fall into two categories: a casual "guess what" over dinner, or an elaborate production that requires coordinating costumes and cameramen.
A puzzle sits right in the middle. It's unexpected enough to create a genuine surprise moment, but simple enough that you just hand them a box and watch. The 15 or so minutes they spend assembling the puzzle builds real suspense — they know something is coming, but they don't know what.
When they scan the QR code and your message appears (or your ultrasound, or a video of you holding up a positive test), the reaction is unfiltered. It's the kind of moment people replay in their heads for years.
Reveal ideas
Ultrasound photo
Upload the ultrasound image. When they scan the QR code, the photo appears on their phone alongside your message. Simple, emotional, effective.
Video reaction prompt
Record a short video of yourself saying "I have something to tell you..." or "we're having a baby!" Upload it so it plays the moment they scan.
For the grandparents
Ship the puzzle directly to the grandparents-to-be with a note in the box that says "solve me." Then FaceTime them and watch the moment live from wherever you are.
Gender reveal
Write "It's a boy!" or "It's a girl!" as the reveal message. Or upload a video of the moment you found out. The puzzle adds genuine suspense to the reveal.
How to set it up
Choose Digital Card
This lets you write a reveal message and upload a photo (like the ultrasound) or a video.
Write your announcement
Something like "Baby Smith arriving January 2027" or "You're going to be an aunt!" — whatever feels right.
Upload a photo or video
Ultrasound image, positive test photo, or a short video. This appears alongside your message when they scan.
Hand it over and watch
Ship it to them or give it in person. Either way, have your camera ready — the reaction is going to be good.
Tips for the perfect reveal
- Order early. If you're announcing at a specific event (Thanksgiving dinner, Mother's Day brunch), order at least three weeks ahead.
- You can send multiples. Announcing to different family members? Place one order per puzzle and set up the same reveal on each. For a big family, contact us and we'll help coordinate.
- Add a vague note in the box. Something like "Solve me for a surprise" builds anticipation without spoiling anything.
- Film the reaction. Set up your phone to record before they start solving. These reactions are keepers.
