The game is on the TV.
The party is in the gallery.
You are hosting the Super Bowl watch party, at home or in the back room of a bar. The spread has been planned for a week: wings, seven-layer dip, chili, a tray of something nobody admits to bringing. The squares board is taped to the fridge, half the room is in one team's jersey and a few are in the other's, and at least one guest is only here for the commercials and the halftime show. Everyone has their phone out for the big plays and the reactions. Put one QR code on the snack table and the whole game day lands in a single gallery.
One-time. No account needed to buy — about a minute.
The moments guests actually photograph at Super Bowl parties
Why Super Bowl parties work better on Picsui
Written for the person hosting this one, and checked against what the product actually does.
The reactions nobody was watching
Everyone is looking at the screen when the big play happens, which is exactly why the best footage of a watch party is of the room. A guest filming the couch instead of the TV catches the leap, the groan and the spilled dip. Short videos upload straight from the browser, so the reaction shots are in the gallery before the replay ends.
A slideshow for the breaks
Nobody wants photos on the TV during a drive. But there are long commercial breaks and a halftime show that not everyone cares about. Run the slideshow on a second screen all game, or switch the main TV to it during the breaks, and the party sees itself between the plays. It quickly becomes the reason guests keep uploading.
A scavenger hunt for the guests who do not follow football
Not everyone at a Super Bowl party knows what a nickel package is. The games tab runs a photo scavenger hunt from the same page: someone in the wrong jersey, the worst commercial reaction, the person who won a quarter on the squares board. Every entry lands in the gallery, and the non-fans have a game of their own.
No app. No account. One scan.
Guests point their camera at a QR code and are uploading in seconds. Nobody installs anything, nobody creates a login, and the grandparents can do it as easily as the teenagers.
Video messages, recorded on the spot
A 30-second video toast recorded in the browser, no editing, no re-uploading. The guest who would never write in a book will happily talk to a phone.
Live photo wall on any screen
Open the slideshow on a TV, projector or laptop and new uploads appear as they arrive. Grid and collage layouts, transition presets, and a phone remote to control it from across the room.
Games that get phones out for the right reason
Photo challenges, caption contests, guess-who rounds and table battles run from the guest page, and every game entry lands in the gallery as another photo.
unlimited photo and video uploads
Every guest can send as much as they like: phone photos, iPhone HEICs, short videos, up to a fair-use bound of 25 GB per event. Originals are kept at full resolution.
Private by default, never indexed
The gallery is only reachable by the link or code you share. Guest pages are blocked from search engines and named AI crawlers, and you can close the gallery whenever you choose.
How it works
Set up in a minute. Collect for the whole event.
Create the event the week before, write a scavenger hunt list, and pick a guestbook question about the best commercial.
Put the QR code on the snack table and on the squares board, where every guest checks their numbers each quarter.
Guests upload through the game; play the slideshow on a second screen or during commercials and halftime.
Download the originals the next morning and send the gallery to everyone, including the friend whose team lost.
Try uploading as a guest.
Scan this with your phone the way a guest at your event would. Choose a sample photo and upload it from your browser, then open the demo gallery to see it land. In this public demo, photos appear at once and videos wait for a person to approve them; at your own event, you decide.
- Scan the code with your phone camera — it opens straight in the browser.
- Upload a sample photo. Look for the upload confirmation so you know it reached the host.
Use a sample you are comfortable sharing with Picsui. Please keep personal or sensitive photos out of the demo.

Getting the most from Super Bowl parties
Use a second screen for the slideshow, or run it only during the breaks. The game belongs on the main TV with the sound up, and a laptop on the kitchen counter or a spare TV by the food is plenty for the photos. If you only have one screen, the commercial breaks and the halftime show are your windows: switch to the slideshow when the broadcast cuts away and back when play resumes. Guests quickly learn that uploading means seeing themselves on the TV during the next break, which is all the encouragement most need.
Photograph the squares board at the end of every quarter. A squares board is the most argued-over object at any Super Bowl party, and a timestamped photo of it with the score on the TV behind settles who had which numbers when. Keep it for bragging rights among friends. Do the same with the spread at kickoff, because by halftime there will be nothing left to photograph. A guestbook question such as best and worst commercial of the night gets the people who were only there for the ads to contribute.
If your party is at a bar, ask the manager before putting your slideshow on their screens, and keep your QR code cards on your own tables. A private gallery means other customers cannot browse your photos even if they scan a card left behind. For friends watching from the UK, Europe or Australia, where the game runs late at night or early in the morning, send them the gallery link so they can join in from their own couch and add their reactions to the same album.
Common questions about Super Bowl parties
Is Picsui connected to the NFL or the Super Bowl?
No. Picsui is an independent photo-sharing service with no connection to the league, the teams, the broadcasters or the halftime performers. We use the name only to describe the party you are hosting. Your event page shows whatever you name it and any background you choose, so leave official logos off your printed cards and the guest page, and decorate with your own colours instead.
Can we show the slideshow without interrupting the game?
Yes. The slideshow opens in any browser on a TV, projector or laptop, separate from whatever is playing the game. Most hosts put it on a second screen by the food. If you have just one TV, switch to the slideshow during commercial breaks and halftime and back again for the next drive. You can run it from your phone with the remote, so you never leave the couch at a key moment.
Does it work for a watch party at a bar or restaurant?
It does. Guests scan the QR code on their phones over the venue's Wi-Fi or mobile data and upload in the browser, with nothing to install. Put the cards on your reserved tables and ask the venue if you can use one of their screens for the slideshow during breaks. The gallery stays private to your group, so other customers in the bar will not see your photos even if they spot a card.
Who sees the photos afterwards?
Only the people you send the link or code to. The gallery is private by default, never listed and blocked from search engines and named AI crawlers. Turn on host review if you would like to approve photos before they appear, which is useful when a friend's reaction to a lost bet is funnier than they would like. You can close uploads after the final whistle and keep the gallery online for everyone.
How much does a Super Bowl party gallery cost?
An Event Pass costs $29, paid once, with no subscription and no charge per guest. It covers unlimited uploads, short videos, the games tab, host review, full-resolution downloads and 365 days of hosting. That is long enough to bring the gallery out again before next year's game. On the Free Preview you can try it for nothing, with the first 60 uploads visible and the gallery locking 7 days after the party.
