Pregnancy reveal
A pregnancy announcement scavenger hunt for your husband

The sweetest way to tell him
He thinks it's a fun little game. He's solving riddles about the sock drawer and the cereal box, getting a bit competitive, and then the last card says it: you're expecting. A pregnancy reveal scavenger hunt lets you watch his face instead of blurting the news out in the kitchen.
The riddles are about everyday spots and say nothing about babies until the final card, so the surprise holds until the very end.
What to hide at the last spot
The positive test (in a bag), the first scan, a onesie, a tiny pair of shoes, or a note that says “see you in July”. Type what's waiting into the gift field, and the final card reveals it in your words.
Telling grandparents or older kids too
Make a second hunt for the grandparents-to-be, or set the age group to Kids for a future big brother or sister. The kids' version uses short rhymes and fold-under hints.

Questions
Will he guess too early?
The riddles are about everyday spots, not babies, and the start card only says there's news. The reveal happens on the final card.
Can I film his reaction?
Yes. Prop a phone up near the last hiding spot. Your answer sheet tells you exactly where that is.
Does it work for a wife or partner?
Of course. The riddles use whatever name you type.
How long does it take?
About five minutes to make, ten to hide, and 20 to 30 minutes for him to solve six clues.
Ready to make yours?
Pick the hiding spots, type the name and the gift, and print. About five minutes, start to finish.
