Three guides that answer most first questions.
How Partyreel works
You create an event and get a QR code. Guests scan it and add photos and videos from their phone browser, no app required. It all lands in one live album you curate and share, playing as a reel.Read the guide02Create your first event
Sign in, add your name, and Create walks four screens (five for a Disposable): the name, the album's style, the code's look, and your code. Only the name is required; the link and QR code follow.Read the guide03
A day-of checklist for hosts
Decide who can get in, print the code big, test it as a guest, put it where people look, put the reel on a screen, tell everyone once, seed the album, and keep an eye on Review and the door.Read the guideThe numbers
