Wedding Entertainment Ideas That Aren't a Photo Booth
The photo booth has become the default, and it shows. Better ways to fill the gap between the wedding breakfast and the first dance.
◆ Weddings
A wedding game starring
the two of you.
Hand-painted from your photographs, playable on any phone in the room, and still yours long after the band has packed up. Commissioned for couples who would rather give their guests something to play than something to queue for.
No queue, no hardware
It arrives as a private web link that works on any phone or laptop. Two hundred guests can play at once in a corridor while the room is turned around, with nothing to hire and nothing to plug in.
Your guests are in it
Every cameo is painted by hand from a photograph. Three at the entry tier, twelve in the middle, unlimited at the top. Guests who find themselves in the game tend to hand the phone straight to the person next to them.
It survives the day
Hired entertainment leaves at midnight. The playable build is yours to keep, share and replay long after the event, with no licence to renew and nothing to give back.

◆ Questions
The parts
worth knowing.
Can guests play it at the wedding itself?+
Yes. Every commission ships as a private web-playable link that works on any phone or laptop, so there is no queue, no app and no hardware to hire. Other ways of presenting the game at your event can be arranged as part of the commission.
How many guests can appear in the game?+
Up to three guest cameos at the 1-Bit tier, up to twelve at 8-Bit, and unlimited painted cameos at 16-Bit. Every one is hand-painted from a photograph.
How much does a custom wedding game cost?+
Commissions start at £99 for a single self-contained level and £349 for a multi-level build with cutscenes and an original soundtrack. Every commission is quoted from a personal brief.
What do you need from us to begin?+
One clear photo of each person you would like painted in, and a short written brief covering the occasion. We take it from there.
Is the game ours to keep?+
Yes. The playable build is yours to keep, share and replay long after the event.
