Where to put the codes

  • Photo: Wristbands

    Wristbands

    The code on the entry wristband. They scan it during the party.

    ChatGPT prompt

    Photorealistic lifestyle photo, landscape 3:2 (1536 x 1024). Close-up of a wrist with a party wristband carrying a QR code tag, festival string lights and confetti blurred in the background at night. The QR code is a clean, generic black-and-white QR pattern, sharp and in focus, clearly the subject of the photo. Warm natural light, shallow depth of field, soft shadows, editorial magazine look. Colour palette: warm off-white (#F4F2ED), charcoal (#16181D) and muted gold accents (#C9952B). No readable text, letters, numbers, logos or brand names anywhere in the image, no watermark. If people appear, show only hands or people from behind, never a recognisable face.

Frequently asked questions

What does “draw at the scan” mean?

The code does not know in advance whether it wins. The moment it is scanned it draws, with the odds of prizes left to codes not opened. So by the time all are opened, all prizes have been given.

What if not everyone scans?

Prizes go to those who scan. If some are left, the giveaway ends on the date you set.

Can I check who got what?

Yes, under “Codes & winners”: every code with its prize, when it opened and whether it was collected. The verification code is checked at the bar.

Can I run it again at another event?

Better a new giveaway with new codes. Or reset the opened codes if you hand out the same ones again.
