Guess whose birthday it is today? vs Guess who's birthday it is today

These phrases are similar, but the correct version is "Guess whose birthday it is today." The use of "whose" here indicates possession. "Who's" is a contraction of "who is" or "who has," which is not appropriate in this context.
