Birthday mode is a mode that disables the use of blood and gibs and replaces them with streams of confetti and balloons, and all players appear to wear novelty party hats. It is enabled on low-violence versions of Team Fortress 2, on servers with the command tf_birthday set to 1 in their server.cfg, and when the server clock hits August 24; the release date of the original Team Fortress in 1996.

Birthday mode features a full set of replacements for most violent graphics and animations, including sound replacements for Critical hits. Instead of the standard Crit sound, the sounds of party horns, champagne poppers and people cheering and clapping play.
