Photo and video tasks

Photo and video tasks for your party.

A good task says exactly what to do – and gets someone out of their seat while it’s at it. Here is a selection from the ready-made catalogue, and below it, what you can set for every task.

Your own tasks

The best tasks only fit your party.

You can create as many of your own tasks as you like: type the text, choose photo or video, save. The prepared ones can be changed or switched off — as soon as your party is set up, the tasks are yours.

The best tasks are the ones that only work at your party: the uncle who tells the same story every year; the colleague who organised the office move; the friend who has been there since school.

Adjustable for each task

What you can tweak on a task.

For every task – the prepared ones and your own – you can decide how it’s used in the game. You don’t have to touch any of it; everything has sensible defaults.

  • Photo or video

    What your guests should capture.

    Every task asks for either a photo or a video. That way your guests know straight away what’s wanted, and the right camera opens immediately. A photo for a video task is turned down – with a sentence that says why.

  • Points

    What it counts in the scoring.

    A task for which someone has to round up four people can earn more than a photo of the buffet.

  • Wave

    When it becomes visible.

    Some tasks only fit later in the evening. Split into waves, they become visible exactly when you want.

  • How many people are needed

    How many others have to be in the picture.

    That decides who gets the task: someone sitting alone at the table at the start won’t get one that needs six people.

  • Across groups

    Does it lead to someone from another group?

    Only if you name your groups when setting up – the bride’s side, colleagues, club. Then SnapParty can set tasks that specifically bring together people from different groups. Without that information, exactly those tasks drop out.

  • Required

    Is it at the top for every guest?

    For the one task that really everyone should do – the profile picture, for example.

  • Always open

    Can it be done more than once?

    “Capture a moment when someone laughs” isn’t a task you do once and are done with.

  • On or off

    Whether it’s handed out at all.

    Switch off instead of deleting: whatever you want again next year will still be there.

Before the evening

You can set names, groups and people in advance.

None of it is required — a single QR code on the table is enough, and your guests enter their own names. But if you want to prepare more, you can, and then some tasks become possible in the first place.

  • Personal QR codes

    A separate access for each guest, with their name.

    Instead of one code for everyone, you can issue each guest their own and label it. Whoever scans it is signed in as that person straight away — without typing a name and without an account.

  • Guest cards to print

    Eight cards per A4 sheet, with name and QR code.

    To put on the plates or hand out at the entrance. You print them from the browser; no file is created that could be left lying around somewhere later.

  • Groups in advance

    The bride’s side, department, club — as many as you need.

    Only then do the tasks across groups work: “Take a photo with someone from another department” needs the departments. Without that information, exactly those tasks drop out.

  • People for a task

    Who is being looked for — with a profile picture.

    “Find the person in the picture and take a selfie.” You assign the person to the task and upload a photo of them; in the guest app the picture then appears next to the task. Without a picture the task would be a question without a subject.

What makes a good task

Four questions we ask of every task.

  • Is it clear what should be photographed?

    “Photograph a decoration you like” asks for a decision nobody wants to make. “Photograph the table decorations” doesn’t.

  • Is there exactly one goal?

    An “or” in the task text turns one task into two – and your guests weigh things up instead of getting going.

  • Is it clear when the task is done?

    “Take a nice photo” has no end. “Get three generations in front of the camera” does.

  • Is there a judgement in it that everyone makes differently?

    “The best shoes” is a matter of taste. “The most eye-catching shoes” almost is too – this is worth a second look.

To suit the occasion

And what applies to your party?

When you set up, you say what kind of party it is. The matching tasks are then ready in your party – at a wedding the ones about the best man, the maid of honour and the couple, at the Christmas party the ones about departments and the year in review.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask about the tasks.

How many tasks does a guest get?

You decide. Ten to fifteen spread over the evening is usual — nobody reads more than that. You can also show them all at once or unlock them in waves.

Do all guests get the same tasks?

Not necessarily. There are tasks everyone sees, and a pool from which each guest gets their own. The second way makes sure twenty people aren’t hunting for the same shot at the same time.

Can I write my own tasks?

Yes, as many as you like. And you can change or switch off any prepared task — as soon as your party is set up, the tasks are yours.

What’s the difference between photo and video tasks?

A task asks for exactly one kind. For a video task the button opens the video camera, for a photo task the photo camera — so your guests don’t have to guess what’s expected. A photo isn’t accepted for a video task — with a sentence that says why.

How long can a video be?

Short. Around thirty seconds is the limit; if a video is longer, SnapParty says so when uploading and gives the number. A wish for the couple doesn’t need three minutes.

Do the guests need to install an app?

No. Scan the QR code, enter a name, off you go. Everything runs in the browser.

Can every guest get their own QR code?

Yes. You can issue each guest their own access and label it with their name. Whoever scans it is signed in as that person straight away. For handing out there are guest cards to print — eight per A4 sheet, with name and QR code.

Can we split the guests into groups beforehand?

Yes, into as many as you like: the bride’s side and the groom’s side, departments, club, family. Only then do the tasks across groups work — “Take a photo with someone from another department” needs the departments. Without that information, exactly those tasks drop out.

Can I assign a particular person to a task?

Yes. You choose the person and upload a photo of them; in the guest app the picture then appears next to the task — “Find the person in the picture and take a selfie”. Without that picture the task would be a question without a subject, which is why the two belong together.

Can you give SnapParty as a gift?

Yes. The host doesn’t have to be the one who books: the best man and maid of honour, siblings, friends or the office can set up a party, prepare the tasks and hand it over ready to go — on the evening, the QR code is all it takes. The party stays in the account of whoever set it up; if you want to manage it yourself, it’s better to set it up yourself.

Can guests skip a task?

Yes. There’s no order anyone has to work through, and no task that holds up the evening.

Who sees the photos?

All the guests at the party in the shared gallery, and the photo wall on the projector if you like. Anyone who doesn’t want to show a picture can withdraw it.
