Build your event

Try it freely — you need neither an account nor a password. The draft stays in this browser until you are happy and want to create the event for real.

  1. Tell us about the partyA few sentences in your own words is enough.
  2. Pick the experienceTreasure hunt, wedding, screen only — or something in between.
  3. See it as a guestThe whole evening, exactly as your guests will meet it.
  4. Release it when it feels rightNothing is created and nothing is paid for until then.

Takes a couple of minutes. You can pause and come back.

The light part is the tool. The dark part is your party.

How Ouvertyr works

Every guest gets theirown link— it is their whole login, no accounts and no apps. A computer by the projector showsthe screenwith the guests' photos and the evening's scenes, and you control it all fromthe remoteon your phone. The guide below takes you through the setup step by step — everything saves as you go, so you can pause and continue whenever you like.

Your events

What are we celebrating?

Only the name and the date are needed to get going. The rest can be filled in when you know — and changed right up until the invitations go out.

Describe the event in your own words

Write it the way you would tell a friend — where you gather, what happens, what should stay secret. We suggest a setup, ask where we are unsure, and you decide.

Free suggestions while you set up. Your event link never runs out.

Shown first when the guest opens their link, before anything else. Write it the way you would tell a friend what the evening is.

Without a time we assume 6 pm. You can change it once you have decided.

Do you know already?

Nothing here is required now. What you fill in follows through to the guests' information in step 4.

It does not have to be you. At a wedding it is usually the toastmaster or a best man — the couple should be spared calls about parking on their wedding day.

Choose how to run it

Pick one or more — we set the rest up. A wedding can perfectly well have a treasure hunt running up to the day. Everything can be fine-tuned in advanced mode.

How the event looks

The guests' pages and the screen get this look. The tool you are sitting in stays neutral — the event's colours are content, not interface.

Everyone buys a garment for someone else, in secret. At the event it is revealed who chose what. The guests give their size when they reply to the invitation, and you draw the names once the replies are in.

Off: the guests' photos appear straight away — the liveliest, and right for most events. On: every photo lands in your remote first and reaches the screen when you let it through. Recommended for weddings and corporate events.

Who is coming?

One name per line — add a mobile number after a comma, so you can send the invitations as texts straight from your phone in the last step. Write, hostafter whoever will run the screen.

CSV or a copied spreadsheet. We only read the shape of the columns — names and numbers never leave your browser.

Your secret stylist

What the guests get to know

Fill in what is relevant — empty blocks are never shown, and what you wrote in step 1 is already filled in.

Why every block has a date

Not everything arrives at once. Each piece appears for the guest on the day it becomes useful — travel and accommodation in good time, the dress code while there is still time to shop, the seating just before. That is what turns the wait into part of the event instead of an email that is forgotten. Pick the dates yourself, or let us spread them out for you.

No date = visible right away

Games as an add-on

One game a week up to the event. We suggest the ones that suit your choice — the rest are still there if you want to see them.

The treasure hunt — the secrets

How it works

A secret is something about the event that the guests work out instead of being handed —where you are going, what the theme is, who is coming. You write the question and the real answer. The guest sees only empty boxes, one per letter, and earns boxes by playing and answering questions. Word by word the answer grows.

Every secret has its own release date, spread out up to the event. That turns the invitation into something the guestscome back toinstead of a message that is read once and forgotten.

Nobody misses anything.Every secret also has a fallback release — by the day before the event at the latest, the answer is shown to everyone, however much they have played. Practical information must never depend on being good at games.

Two or three secrets is plenty. More becomes work for you and noise for the guests.

Examples — tap to add one, then fill in the answer yourself:

Questions about the host — optional

Questions about the host — "What was the host's first car?" — are what the guests earn letters from. Those who know the host well get a small head start, and those who do not learn something. Skip it and our ready-made riddle bank is used instead, and the treasure hunt still works.

An item is anything you want the guests to meet: a question, a guess, a mission, a piece of information. You decide when it appears, who it applies to and whether it gives points. The blocks and secrets above keep working exactly as before — this is for what they do not cover.

The evening's programme

The remote on your phone runs the evening item by item:Now → Start next. Start from our suggestion and make it yours — or skip it and control the screen entirely by hand.

This event has no screen, so scene choices and the fallback scene are hidden — they only drive a display.

The Mission — secret missions

Every guest gets their own mission on their phone, a person to involve and a bonus. Nobody sees anyone else's.

Give the event a face

1–5 pictures of your own — they sit behind the greeting in the invitation and as the resting state on the screen. Optional, but it makes a real difference. The first picture is shown first.

Here is your event

We have put an evening together from what you told us. Open it the way your guests will see it — then decide whether it is right.

Nothing is created and nothing is paid for. The draft only lives in this browser.

This is what your event will be like

This is what the guests meet when they open their link.

Create the event for real

Then we set it up, you fill in the guests and get a personal link for each of them — plus the screen and the remote for the evening.

Create my event

The draft is downloaded and attached to the email — you do not need to fill anything in again.

Ready to invite?

We check that nothing is missing. Green all the way — then it is just a matter of sending the links.

Send as texts

The sender is the event's name, not your number. No guest gets two invitations.

Every guest has theirownlink — send the right link to the right person and ask them not to pass it on. The screen in the venue and the remote on your phone are here:

Who else should be able to control it?

The toastmaster, a sister, someone helping on the day. They get their own link to the setup and the remote. Your own link is unaffected, and you can close theirs whenever you like.

Wondering about something?

Ask a question about the tool and the help explains what the feature does and when it is worth switching on. It cannot change anything in your event — you do that yourself with the buttons.
