Planning a surprise 40th, 50th, or retirement party? Share a secret link with friends and family weeks before the day. Everyone uploads old photos, embarrassing throwbacks, and heartfelt messages — and nobody, not even the other contributors, sees the collection until you press Start the show at the party.
The hardest part of a surprise party is keeping the secret. We handle that part.
Create a wall with the Surprise Party template, set the party date, and share the upload link in your group chat — everyone except the guest of honor, obviously.
Friends and family upload childhood photos, throwbacks, and messages from their phones. In blind mode nobody can browse the collection — each person only sees their own upload.
At the party, the screen shows a teaser. When the moment is right, one tap premieres every collected photo as a slideshow — confetti included. Cue the tears.
A 50th birthday deserves 50 years of photos. Collect from siblings, school friends, and colleagues — decades of memories on one wall.
Colleagues past and present contribute photos and thank-you messages. The reveal at the farewell party says more than any speech.
25th or 50th wedding anniversary? Collect photos from the whole family — including the ones from before the kids were born.
From first day of school to final exam — the whole journey, collected from parents, grandparents, and friends.
Back from deployment, a year abroad, or a long recovery. Collect everything they missed and premiere it the moment they walk in.
Gather photos and memories from everyone whose life they touched, and let the collection play as a quiet, beautiful tribute.
Contributors can't browse each other's uploads. No screenshots leaking into the wrong group chat. The collection stays yours until the reveal.
Collect for up to 45 days before the event — your plan's display window only starts counting from the party date. No wasted days.
The screen shows an elegant teaser with a countdown. When you press "Start the show," every photo premieres with a confetti entrance.
Once premiered, it's a normal live photo wall — party guests scan the QR code and tonight's photos join the memories on screen.
AI content filter plus a profanity filter on captions and messages. Grandma can contribute without you moderating at 2am.
Download the full collection as an album afterwards — it makes the perfect gift for the guest of honor.
Use blind collection mode. Contributors upload via a private link and only ever see their own upload confirmation. The wall and gallery stay locked until you premiere.
Not in blind mode. The full collection is visible only to you, the organizer, in your host panel.
Up to 45 days before the party date. Your plan's display window starts counting from the party date, not from when you started collecting.
The display screen shows a teaser with an optional countdown. Press "Start the show" in your host panel and the full collection premieres as a slideshow.
Yes — after the reveal, the wall works like a normal live photo wall. Guests scan the QR code and new photos appear in seconds.
No. The link opens in any phone browser. No app, no account, no login — which matters when your least technical relative has the best photos.
Open your secret collection today. Free to set up — upgrade before the big day.
