Fun photo games for the party: 2 games that bring guests together

Photo games are an easy way to bring guests together: everyone has their phone out, and the photos become part of the party instead of disappearing into a folder. Here are two photo games for a birthday, company party or wedding.

Both run on guests' own phones and the big screen — no app, no login — and you download the album afterwards.

1. Photo scavenger hunt (the game with a contest)

Each guest gets fun photo challenges on their phone — 'a photo with three generations', 'the best dance move' — and solves them with the camera. The host approves, the photos run on the big screen with a funny caption, and most challenges solved wins.

Good when you want a game with a bit of competition that keeps guests going all evening.

2. Selfie wall (the living photo wall)

Guests upload candid photos from the evening, and they run as a live slideshow on the big screen — each with a funny, personal caption. No competition, just the party's photos living on screen.

Good when you just want to capture the mood and have a keepsake to download afterwards.

What the two have in common

Both run on guests' own phones via a QR code, both get funny captions that know the party, and both give you an album from every angle afterwards — with or without the captions.

Both are a personal alternative to a photo booth: every angle instead of one, with no machine to rent.

Which should you choose?

Want a game with points and winners? Pick the photo scavenger hunt. Just want the party's photos to live on the big screen? Pick the selfie wall.

Both suit birthdays, company parties, weddings and confirmations — anywhere a crowd has their phones out.
