A few prompts can turn guests from passive phone owners into contributors. Keep the list short, warm, and easy to understand so it supports the event instead of distracting from it.

Core list
The best prompts do not force awkward behavior. They point guests toward things they already see: laughter, details, dancing, hugs, and people reacting to the day.
Video prompts
Short videos bring the room back: applause, singing, speeches, cheers, and dance-floor sound. Keep the ask light so guests do not feel like camera operators.
Placement
Use three to five prompts on the printed sign. Longer lists belong in a follow-up card, program insert, or blog-style inspiration page.
Tone
Guests are there to celebrate, not complete homework. Frame the scavenger hunt as a way to help the couple remember the room from every angle.

No. Gooya opens in the phone browser from one QR code. Guests can use the camera or their library without installing an app, making an account, or remembering a password.
No. Gooya is write-only for guests by default. They send their own memory, see that it landed, and return to the event. The private album belongs to the host.
Yes. The host can download the visible memories in one ZIP, including the original photo and video files Gooya stores for the event.
“I cried when I saw my mom's reaction to the father-daughter dance — the dual camera caught the dance and her face in the same shot. I'd never have gotten that myself.”
“The best part was seeing real footage from real people, not just the photographer's version of the night.”
“It didn't dump hundreds of photos onto my phone and eat my storage — I got to pick exactly what I wanted to keep.”
Wedding photo sharing
