Host: Set up the Gender Reveal for Word Search Game
This game is played between two types of people: HOST sets the gender, then shares a secret link with GUESTS who will play the word search puzzle and reveal the gender in the last.
- The host chooses Boy, Girl, or Twins.
- A secret link (tokenised) is generated automatically — share it with guests.
- Guests open the link to play; the final reveal will match the host's selection if the guest wins the game.
How to play
Find the hidden words in the letter grid. Words can appear:
- Horizontally — left → right (e.g. TOYS)
- Horizontally (reverse) — right → left (e.g. TOYS)
- Vertically — top → bottom (e.g. DIAPER)
- Vertically (reverse) — bottom → top (e.g. DIAPER)
Tap/click and drag across letters to select a word. Only straight horizontal or vertical words (no diagonals) are valid.
