Social games make for excellent ice breakers at parties, team building exercises and a raft of other events. If you would like your next gathering of colleagues, friends or business associates to go with a bang, then consider making use of a photobooth when game planning to give it some extra pizazz. Read on to discover some superb game ideas involving photobooths.
- Social Networking Gamification
There are plenty of games you can play with photobooths. One with the greatest outreach is to see who can obtain the most likes for their social media post from their photobooth images. Simply by adding the right hashtag, it is possible to track who’s got the most followers for their post.
- Team Selfies
Not all event games need to be photobooth-based. However, all teams should have a group portrait before they compete, right? If so, your photobooth should offer this functionality.
- Prizes for the Best Use of Digital Props
Digital props are fun but they are often used in very similar ways. Ideal, if you have creative attendees, a competition to see who comes up with the most innovative use of a digital prop in a photobooth image would be a great talking point.
- Fisheye Photobooth Effects
Although fisheye lenses are nothing new in photography, they are often under-used in photobooths. With events that have lots of attendees, fisheye lenses make it easier to fit in more people, ideal for team photos and the like.
- Video Confessionals
A video confessional competition is a great way for people to talk about themselves candidly and break the ice at events. Unlike standard photobooth stills, you obtain video footage that can be edited, if wanted.
- Roaming Photobooth Technology
According to one leading photobooth software developer, Snappic, photobooths do not need to be static installations any longer. If you want to take your event’s photobooth fun to the next level, then make use of roaming technology that can follow games as they unfold.
- Video FX
If you want to create shareable moments from your mini-Hollywood masterpieces, then what about introducing some video special effects to your photobooth gaming? Slo-mo sections, zooms, masks and filters can all add professionalism to the event game footage, for example.
- Gamify Brand Promotion
At commercial events, promoting a brand might be the main purpose of a photobooth. If so, why not play a marketing game that sees which team can promote a product or brand most effectively using the power of the shareable moment captured by a photobooth?
- Gallery Sharing
Not all photobooth suppliers offer sharing galleries but these are a great way of allowing event attendees to relive the fun they enjoyed by reviewing their own – and other people’s – images.
- Customised Surveys
If you want to step up your next event and make it even better than the last one, then asking photobooth users to complete a customisable survey is a good idea. Ideally, your photobooth software will do this for you, thereby helping to automate the process and capture analytical data into the bargain.
