I understand why some people hate baby shower games. I totally get it—some can be a little cheesy or awkward. But there are a few that are just right for all kinds of crowds, and this dirty diaper baby shower game is one of them!

It’s simple to prepare, hilarious to play, and makes people laugh every time. It’s especially great if not everyone at the baby shower know each other—this is the kind of fun game that’s a great icebreaker and gets baby shower guests mingling and having a good time right away.

Yes, it’s a little gross, but that’s exactly what makes it so much fun.

Dirty Diaper Baby Shower Game

What You’ll Need to Play the Dirty Diaper Game

To play this crowd-pleasing baby shower diaper game, you’ll need:

6—15 clean diapers (Use as many as you would like but at least 6)
6—15 different chocolatey candy bars (fun size is perfect)
A spoon and a microwave-safe bowl
A marker or sticker for labeling the outside of the diaper
Dirty diaper game sheets (grab the printable below!)
A small prize (optional, but fun!)

How to Prep This Melted Candy Bar Game:

Start by labeling each diaper with a number, 1–15, on the outside or bottom of the diaper, or using fun stickers to match your theme.

Then unwrap one candy bar at a time, place it in the bowl, and microwave it for 10–15 seconds until melted (but not boiling hot). Do not microwave diapers directly—just melt the candy in the bowl first! Then spoon the melted chocolate into the numbered diaper and fold it closed.

Repeat until all six diapers are filled. Make sure you write down which candy is in which diaper! That’ll be your answer key during the game.

If you need to prep the diapers ahead of time, add a little bit of shortening to the candy when melting it to help it look “fresh” longer. You’re welcome.

And if you’re expecting a big crowd, consider prepping a bunch of diapers to keep more people involved at once. It’s a great option for large groups and adds even more laughs.

Candy Bars to Use For The Dirty Diaper Game/Poopy Diaper Game

Use some candy bars with caramel, nougat, or similar textures—like Snickers, Milky Way, 3 Musketeers, Reese’s, or Baby Ruth. They melt down perfectly into something that… well, looks way grosser than it tastes.

Feel free to use more than one type of candy bar in each diaper! Just keep track of what you’re putting in each one and let your guests know how many types of chocolate candy is in each diaper.

How to Play the Dirty Diaper Baby Shower Game:

Hand out score sheets to each guest. These dirty diaper game sheets help keep things organized and add a fun pop of color if printed on colored cardstock.

Then, pass around the diapers. Guests open them, smell them, squish them, and try to figure out which melted chocolate candy bar is inside each one. Some brave souls will even taste them!

Everyone writes down their guesses on their score sheet. Once all the diapers have been examined, go through the answer key and reveal which candy bar was in each one. The person with the most correct guesses wins a prize!

This baby shower guessing game is quick, funny, and gets everyone talking—perfect for large groups, especially if family members and friends haven’t met before. It’s also the perfect time to take fun photos, and possibly transition into opening gifts.

Want to make it even more special? Have each guest jot their name and favorite moment with the mom-to-be or some great parenting advice on the back of their game card to slip into the guest book!
