How scoring works
Grounded in real birth data
BabyGuessr uses population statistics to make scoring fair, fun, and surprisingly accurate.
Real Statistics, Real Fun
Every guess is measured against actual birth data. Weight, length, and timing guesses are compared to what really happens when babies arrive — so the leaderboard rewards both accuracy and plausibility.
The Guess Plausibility Score
Each guess gets a GPS rating: Very Plausible, Plausible, Unlikely, or Wild Guess. It shows whether your prediction falls within typical ranges or ventures into outlier territory. Wild guesses can still win if they're accurate — but typical guesses get a fairness boost.
Fair for Everyone
Whether you've had five kids or this is your first baby board, everyone's playing by the same rules: real data, clear categories, and a scoring system that celebrates both knowledge and lucky guesses.

Frequently asked questions
How does scoring work?
Scoring is based on how close your guess is to the actual arrival in five categories: date, time, weight, length, and sex. Closer guesses earn more points, and each guess is weighted by its Guess Plausibility Score to keep things fair.
What is the Guess Plausibility Score?
The Guess Plausibility Score (GPS) shows whether your guess falls within typical birth ranges or ventures into wild territory. It's based on real population data - so guessing 15 lbs might be accurate, but it's statistically rare. GPS makes scoring fairer for everyone.
Curious about the real-world data and math behind GPS? Want to know the full details? →Do I need to understand statistics to play?
Not at all. Just make your best guess and have fun. BabyGuessr handles the math behind the scenes to keep scoring fair and accurate.
Why use real birth data?
Real data makes the game fairer and more fun. It rewards guesses that are both accurate and plausible - but wild guesses can still win if they're spot-on.
Can I use BabyGuessr without having a baby shower?
Absolutely. Many parents use BabyGuessr even without a shower. It's perfect for sharing the excitement with friends and family from anywhere.
Do guests need an account?
No. Anyone can join with a single tap.
Do you track me or my guests?
We use privacy-friendly analytics tools (PostHog, Vercel Analytics, and Google Search Console) to understand how the site performs. These tools don't use cross-site tracking, don't build behavioral profiles, and don't identify individual users.
What kind of analytics do you collect?
We collect anonymized, event-level data: when a board is created, when a guess is submitted, and how the site performs technically. This helps us improve BabyGuessr without collecting personal information.
Do you show ads?
No. BabyGuessr does not show ads, and we never use personal data for advertising.
Is my data private?
Yes. We don't sell personal data, and we don't use behavioral profiling or cross-site tracking.
Can people join from different states or countries?
Yes! BabyGuessr is built for remote participation.
