Scratch surprise
Scratch Surprise — a digital scratch card you send on WhatsApp, scratched off to uncover your news
Scratch Surprise is Giftable’s digital scratch card: you write the news, share the link in WhatsApp or any chat, and they rub the silver foil off with a finger and answer you. Sending one costs €3.

What the recipient sees
- 01Gets a lottery ticket with their name on it and a silver panel to scratch.
- 02Rubs the silver away with a finger; at 60% the news and the confetti break out.
- 03Reads your message and the date, then picks a reaction that comes back to you.
What to prepare
- Who the ticket is for, and who it comes from
- Your message: it sits under the news, up to 600 characters
- The date, if you have one — without it the ticket says “very soon”
- No photos: this format has none to gather
- The reaction question: keep the built-in one or write your own
What it fits
- Telling your parents they are about to become grandparents
- Letting the oldest child know a little brother or sister is coming
- Breaking the news to a sister who lives too far to tell in person
- The best friend who should hear it before the family group chat does
- Any other good news that deserves more than a text message
Questions and answers
How do I send the scratch card on WhatsApp, and do I need photos?
You fill in the two names, your message and an optional date, pay for the giftable and get a link — paste it into WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS or an email like any other link. They open it in a browser on a phone or a laptop and scratch with a finger: no app, no account, nothing to download. No photos at all — this format has none, so there is nothing to collect or upload.
How does the recipient answer, and where does the reply go?
Under the winning ticket comes the question “Your reaction?” with three ready answers — screaming with joy, no way, when can we come — and you can replace it with your own questions before sending. The answer comes back to you as a reply on your Giftable, and they can also forward it straight to you on WhatsApp or Telegram. Building and previewing is free; sending one Giftable costs €3, three cost €5 and ten cost €10.
Can I rewrite the winning line, and what if we have no date yet?
The prize line and the headline come from the occasion you choose — grandparents, big brother, big sister, or simply great news — so those exact words are fixed; everything personal goes into the message underneath them. Leave the date empty and the ticket reads “very soon” instead. Scratching does not need a touchscreen either: a mouse works, Enter or Space clears the whole panel at once, and the panel opens itself once roughly 60% has been rubbed off.
