What is Singles?

Singles is ALIVE's built-in matchmaking feature — a fun, interactive twist on the traditional photo booth experience. It turns your booth into a social icebreaker where guests can connect with each other through photos and swipes.



What Makes It Special?


At social events like parties, corporate mixers, or singles nights, a photo booth is already a conversation starter. Singles takes it further by letting guests:


  • Create a profile with their booth photos
  • Browse other guests' profiles in a swipe-style interface
  • Express interest and see who liked them back
  • Connect with matches right at the event


It's like a mini dating app — but in person, at the event, powered by your photo booth.

Who Is It For?


Singles is a great add-on for:


  • Singles events and speed dating — The perfect match (pun intended)
  • Corporate mixers and networking events — Break the ice and get people talking
  • Holiday parties — Add some extra fun and interaction
  • Bar/bat mitzvah after-parties — Age-appropriate social features
  • Any social event — Wherever connecting people is part of the fun



How It Works (Quick Overview)


  1. A guest steps up to the booth and takes their photos
  2. They create a quick profile with their name and photo
  3. They can browse other guests' profiles and swipe
  4. If two guests like each other — it's a match!
  5. Matches can view each other's profiles and connect


The whole thing runs through the web — guests access it on their phones after scanning a QR code at the booth.



Why Offer It?


  • Unique selling point — Most photo booths can't do this. You can.
  • Higher engagement — Guests spend more time interacting with the booth experience
  • Event planners love it — It's the kind of feature that gets clients excited about booking
  • Upsell opportunity — Add Singles as a premium package add-on


Think of Singles as your booth's secret weapon for social events. When a client asks "what can you do that others can't?" — this is your answer.
