The birthday party game everyone joins
For an 18th, 30th, 50th or any birthday: photo missions that get guests mixing, and a gallery of the night for the birthday star to keep.
What's a good game for an adult birthday party?
A photo scavenger hunt works for almost any adult birthday because it needs no setup on the night and everyone can play at once. With Mission Memories, guests join on their phones with a code, complete challenges like "recreate a childhood photo of the birthday star", and climb a live leaderboard. The birthday star keeps every photo in one gallery.
Why use Mission Memories for your birthday party?
Mixes different friendship groups
School friends, work friends and family usually stay in their own corners. Missions bring them together.
Runs itself
Share the code and enjoy your party. Nobody has to host a game or keep score.
Every photo in one place
No more asking everyone to send their photos the next day.

Birthday Parties: frequently asked questions
Do guests need to download an app?
No. Guests open your invite link, scan the QR code or enter the 6-digit code, and play straight from their phone's browser. They create a quick free account (name, email and password) so they can come back to their photos later. The free iOS and Android app is optional and adds the smoothest camera, reactions and notifications.
Is it free?
Yes, for up to 5 guests and 5 photo missions. Bigger parties are £4.99 for 40 guests, £19.99 for 120 or £49.99 for 300, one-off per event.
Is it suitable for kids' parties?
Mission Memories is designed for guests with their own phones, so it suits teen and adult birthdays best. At a family party, kids can team up with a parent.
Can I organise it as a surprise?
Yes. Anyone can create the event and invite guests, so a friend or partner can set it up and keep the missions secret until the party.
