Birthday scratch cards
Birthday digital scratch cards
Skip the generic text — let them scratch to uncover your birthday surprise.
Try a birthday reveal
Scratch the birthday demo, then continue in the creator with this template ready to personalise.
Birthday chats fill up with identical messages. A digital scratch card stands out: your friend or family member scratches a festive design to reveal plans, a gift clue or a personal note. Create one on scratch.mobi in less than a minute, preview the reveal, and send the link on WhatsApp, SMS or Telegram. No app required for either of you. Free credits help you start; Premium options last longer if the party is still weeks away.
Example birthday messages
- “Happy birthday! Scratch for your first clue about tonight.”
- “Another trip around the sun — dinner is booked. Reveal the place.”
- “Your present is waiting at home. Scratch for where to look.”
- “Party starts at 8. Dress code is underneath.”
- “Cake, candles and a surprise. Scratch when you are free to chat.”

Birthday ideas
- Send the card before they open gifts so the reveal sets the tone.
- For group celebrations, one link in the family chat keeps everyone aligned.
- Combine with a voice note or photo in the same thread after they scratch.
- If the birthday is more than a day away, consider Premium for a 30-day expiry.
