Features
Film filters, photo hunts, and one big reveal.
Capture the magic, keep the mystery: Reela is a digital disposable camera for your event — everyone shoots, nobody peeks, everything develops at the reveal. Here is everything the app puts in your guests' hands.
The disposable-camera mechanic
A fixed roll of film. No retakes — just moments.
Every guest gets a fixed set of exposures when they join your event — 5 on Free, 10 on Starter, 20 on Social and up. When the counter hits zero, the roll is done. No endless retakes, no scrolling through 40 versions of the same shot: people frame, shoot, and get back to the party.
Film status
Want a longer roll for everyone? Hosts can add more exposures for every guest with Shot Boost.
Vintage film filters
Five film looks, picked before you shoot.
Every photo goes through one of five vintage film filters, chosen right on the camera. Pick a look for the shot in front of you — what you see is what develops.
Classic 35mm
A warm everyday film look — the default that flatters almost any light.
Pastel 400
Soft, airy pastels with lifted shadows for gentle, dreamy frames.
Instant Classic
Instant-film warmth — that fresh-out-of-the-slot glow.
Mono B&W
Timeless black & white for the dance floor and the quiet moments alike.
Bleach Pop
Bold, punchy contrast when the moment calls for drama.
Photo Scavenger Hunt
Turn the camera into a game.
Switch on the Photo Scavenger Hunt and guests race through 15 built-in challenges — worth 10–25 points each across Easy, Medium and Hard, in categories like People, Objects, Actions and Emotions. Tag a photo to complete a challenge and watch the live leaderboard reshuffle.
Hunt Awards
When the hunt wraps, the host hands out Hunt Awards to crown the winners — one more reason to keep shooting until the last challenge.
Host moderation
You run the reveal.
Hosts can approve or hide any photo, before or after the reveal. Hidden photos never appear in guests' galleries — so the collection your guests wake up to is exactly the one you want them to see.
Hide anything, anytime
Approve or hide photos before or after the reveal. Hidden shots stay out of every guest's gallery.
Included for every host
Moderation is available to every host on every tier — from Free to Grand.
The reveal
Locked until the big moment.
The shared gallery stays locked until the reveal time you set, with a live countdown on the dashboard — “Reveals in 2h 59m”. Then everything develops at once, for everyone. After the reveal, photos can be saved to the camera roll and shared.
Too impatient? Rush Reveal
A guest who can't wait can unlock their gallery 2 hours before the reveal with Rush Reveal — $9.99.
Invites
One code. Everyone's in.
Every event gets a 6-letter join code and a QR code the moment it's created. Guests scan or type the code and they're in — no account needed to join. Put the code on the tables, share the invite, and let the film start rolling.
