Some nights are better lived first and looked at later. Unveil gives every guest at your wedding, birthday or party the same disposable camera and one shared album. Everyone shoots on their own phone, nobody sees a thing, and at the reveal every photo unlocks at once. A hundred points of view of the same night. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create your event and pick a reveal time. 2. Guests scan a QR code to join. They don't need an account. 3. Everyone gets a limited number of shots. Once you press the shutter, that's the photo. 4. At the reveal, every photo unlocks for everyone at once. WHY HIDDEN PHOTOS Without previews or retakes, nobody stands around curating. People stay at the table and on the dance floor. The photos come out honest, and the waiting is half the fun: the whole room opens the same album together. WHAT YOU GET • One shared album that every guest shoots into, with a real film look • A limited number of shots, so each one counts • Photos that stay hidden until the reveal time you choose • A shared gallery afterwards, where you can save your favorites • A live countdown on your lock screen until the reveal MADE FOR Weddings, birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, graduations, festivals, dinner parties, reunions. Any night worth remembering properly. HOSTING IS SIMPLE Set up your event in under a minute and put a QR code on every table. Everyone leaves with the same album. One event. One album. Opened together.
