TikTok user Abbie Tunney shared a video of her and her husband playing an adapted version of the childhood classic game on a constructed board, with each "X" and "O" turning to reveal either "Boy" or "Girl" on the other side.

The gender was revealed once the game finished and "Boy" or "Girl" had three in a row.

You can see the excitement and tension build as the video goes on, with the game ending with one more spot left to turn around that decided the sex of the baby.

In the end, the game revealed that Tunney and her husband are having a baby girl.

While not everyone supports the gender reveal party trend, you have to admit that this couple's video is cute and unique.

Many people on TikTok loved the concept, asking in the comments how they built the upright tic-tac-toe board.

Some even joked around, with one person saying, "Instead of Xs and Os, should’ve had it Xs and Ys."

Another wrote, "Me: what’s it going to be?! *notices the song playing*," referencing the fact that the video's soundtrack is the song "Lady" by Brett Young.

One person definitely felt the suspense as the video went on and shared an alternative that could've happened, commenting, "That’s cute but imagine the sign said 'twins,'" followed by a skull emoji.

Many people criticize gender reveal parties for enforcing the idea of a gender binary and not portraying how a person's sex at birth doesn't always match their gender identity, as reported by Verywell Family. There's also the fact that multiple gender reveal parties have led to injury or worse.

But with Tunney's reveal, it's hard to deny the sweet, good-natured way that she and her partner discovered the sex of their baby.

The TikTok community was very supportive of the video, and it seems Tunney's video served as inspiration for many other parents-to-be who might want to put on their own gender reveal party.
