The guest tour
Guests never make an account, never pick a password and never lose their link. Everything below is what one person sees, in the order they see it.
Step 01
The invitation arrives by email, WhatsApp, or both. Inside is a short personal link. Tapping it signs them in — on that phone, and on the laptop they open it on three weeks later.
Step 02
Three buttons at the top — coming, not sure, not coming — so the essential answer takes one tap. Everything below it is optional, and everything below it is the stuff you'd otherwise be asking for individually in eleven separate WhatsApp threads.
Answering earns karma. Confessing earns more. It is a genuinely effective way to get people to fill in a form.
Step 03
A ticket with their name on it. A countdown. Their karma and how far off the next rank they are. And a grid of tiles to everything the party has going on — only the tiles you turned on, in the wording you chose.
Step 04
Guests don't want the same page in June that they want at 1am in August. They don't get it.
Days, hours and minutes. Who's coming so far. Info pages that unlock on your schedule. A nudge if they still haven't RSVP'd.
A "Tonight" section appears above everything else with the DJ line-up and running order rendered inline, plus a one-tap voting panel. No hunting through menus at 2am.
The countdown becomes "days since". Results open. Photos appear. Badges land. The whole page turns into a souvenir.
Step 05
Voting, polls and bets. None of it is compulsory, all of it is the reason people open the page eleven times in a week.
Best dressed. Best dancefloor moment. Most likely to still be up at 6am. One vote per category, and a cheer message to go with it — which ends up on the TV wall beside the person they voted for.
What time should Saturday dinner be? Which stage gets the big rig? Single choice, multiple choice, or free text — anonymous if the question deserves it.
Guests stake karma on how the night will go, and the winners split the losers' pool. They can open their own markets too, if you let them.
Step 06
A jobs board anyone can claim from. Firewood run, build the bar, Sunday breakfast crew. Each job has a leader and a crew, and guests put themselves on it without being asked twice.
Step 07
A statistics page guests can see: how the RSVPs split, which nights are busiest, the dietary spread, the drinks order, and everyone's answers to your questions.
Step 08
Badges are awarded. Karma settles. Bets pay out. And every guest has a trophy cabinet and a Party Journey that carries across every party you've ever thrown — which is exactly what makes the next invitation land differently.
Optional extra
One tile on the dashboard hands the whole guest experience over to a theme. Every page they can visit gets rewritten — the RSVP wording, the countdown, the leaderboard, the badges. Two of them come with someone to talk to.
