The photo game for your birthday.
FotoBingo is a party game of photo challenges: every tile on the bingo card is a task, your guests complete them with their phones, and every photo lands in one shared collection. For the 18th, the 30th, the 50th – and every birthday in between.

The party everyone keeps talking about.
Everyone's laughing
The challenges create exactly the moments you'd otherwise miss – and mix friend groups who haven't met yet.
Nobody's stuck on their phone
The game sends your guests to each other, not to their feeds. Small talk at the buffet turns into shared missions.
The memories stay
Every photo lands in your shared bingo card. The next morning you have the whole party in one place – without 200 messages in the group chat.
Questions about the birthday game
How does FotoBingo work at a birthday party?
The birthday person or a friend starts a board of photo challenges in the app and shares the code with the guests. Everyone completes the tasks during the party and uploads a photo as proof. First to complete a row wins – and every photo lands in one shared bingo card.
Is FotoBingo free?
Yes, for games with up to 10 players. Bigger rounds are a one-time purchase in the app – no subscription.
What age is FotoBingo for?
FotoBingo is meant for players aged 16 and up – so it's ideal for an 18th, 30th, 40th or 50th birthday. The app isn't meant for children's parties.
Can we write our own challenges?
Yes. The app suggests matching challenges, but you can change them any time or write your own – inside jokes about the birthday person included.
What happens to the photos after the party?
Every photo stays in your shared bingo card. The next morning you have the whole night in one place instead of collecting pictures from the group chat.
We're throwing a big party – does it work with lots of guests?
Yes. You can unlock bigger rounds in the app. For a big celebration where you'd like us to design the board, just get in touch.
