How it works

Set it up once. Your guests do the rest.

Setting up a retirement party gallery takes about two minutes: name the event, add a cover photo, and choose whether guests can send photos, videos and voice. You get one QR code and a short link to share. Place the code where guests gather, and memories arrive all night into your private gallery — with no app to download and no account for anyone to create.

  • *Create your retirement party event — name it, add a cover, pick photo, video and voice.
  • *Print and place the QR — welcome table, tables, or a quick announcement.
  • *Relive it forever — everything lands in a private vault you keep.

Every angle

The moments no single camera catches.

The best retirement party moments are almost always the unplanned ones — caught by the people in the room, from angles no hired photographer can reach. When every guest is a camera, you stop relying on one person's viewpoint and start collecting the whole night: the reactions across the room, the small candid moments, and the short clips that turn out to matter most.

  • *The speeches and the slideshow reactions.
  • *Short clips from colleagues across the years.
  • *Voice messages — the send-off they'll replay.

Private & yours

A private gallery — not a public feed.

Gooya is write-only for guests: they send their own photos and videos and never browse what everyone else uploaded, so nothing turns into a public feed during your event. You stay in control — decide when (or whether) guests see the gallery, hide or remove anything you don't want, and download every original in one ZIP whenever you like. The memories are private, and they're yours to keep.

  • *Write-only for guests — no public posts, no comparing.
  • *Host-controlled reveal — seal it, then open it together.
  • *One-click ZIP download keeps your own backup.
Questions

Answers before you make the QR.

Do guests need to download an app?

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.

How many guests can use it?

On the paid plans, guests are unlimited — invite the whole event, with no per-guest charge and no upload cap per guest.

Can we keep the gallery after the event?

Yes. The Event includes three months of storage; keep the gallery active for $49.99/year. If you lapse, the vault locks but is never deleted — reactivate any time.

Are voice messages a good fit here?

Especially. A spoken send-off from colleagues is the keepsake people treasure most — guests can record one right from the QR camera.
