# Photo booth alternatives guests actually queue for

A photo booth gives one picture per group. These alternatives turn guests’ photos into something bigger: an AI portrait in a style you choose, a mosaic of the couple or the logo built from every selfie, selfie missions checked by AI, and a baby-photo round that ends in a then-and-now reveal.

For the couple or host planning their own event and for the planner choosing for a client. 8 games, each playable in your browser from this page.

## Consent and privacy

Portraits need explicit consent before a selfie is used; the mosaic and missions can keep photos off the big screen until approved, and the AI never sees photos in the mosaic or the baby-photo round.

## Questions people ask

Do we need a printer?

No. Guests download on their phones; a kiosk tablet can add optional printing for the portrait booth.

Which option needs the least staff?

The photo mosaic: one person approves photos on the host console and presses the reveal. The portrait booth needs someone near the tablet.

### Scan to play on your phone

Point your phone camera at the code. It opens the free trial: you host on one screen, and friends join from the QR on the big screen.

Free, no sign-up. The trial runs on simulated AI and says so on every screen; at your event the game runs on real AI with your names and photos.
