How it works

  1. 1
    Add your choices

    Start from an example above or type your own, up to 64.

  2. 2
    Tap your favorites

    Choices meet head-to-head. Tap the one you'd pick, and the winner moves on.

  3. 3
    Crown a champion

    Keep going until one is left. Play again with friends and compare.

Suggested format: Single elimination. Single elimination keeps it fast, so you can run a few brackets during the party.

Tips for a great birthday party bracket

  • For young kids, keep it to 8 choices so the bracket finishes before attention runs out.
  • Use a bracket of gift ideas to settle the wish list.
  • Run the champion screen on the TV: the reveal is half the fun.
