Planning an event comes with enough stress. Setting up your engagement tools should not add to it. With EventWrist, you can have your entire interactive experience configured in under ten minutes — no technical expertise required.
EventWrist is built around a simple premise: guests scan a QR code on their wristband, open a webpage in their browser, and immediately start participating. There is nothing to download, no account to create, and no app to install. As a host, you need three things:
That is it. The platform handles everything else.
Log in to the EventWrist host dashboard and click Create Event. Give your event a name — something your guests will recognize immediately, like “Acme Corp Annual Gala” or “Sarah and James Wedding Reception.” Set your start and end times. The system automatically switches your event from Draft to Live when the start time arrives, and to Ended when it concludes.
The Information tab in your host console shows your event status at a glance. Here is what the setup screen looks like:
Bottom Announcement
Navigate to the Check-in Form tab. EventWrist asks guests for two pieces of information: an avatar and a display name. These appear alongside every message they send and every vote they cast. Keep it simple — most guests choose an emoji and their first name or nickname.
You can customize the form instructions, but the defaults work well for most events. Guests have told us they appreciate the lack of friction — scan, pick an emoji, type a name, done.
Go to the Interactions tab. Click Add and choose your interaction type:
For your first event, try a simple single-choice poll. Ask something fun: “Which song should we play next?” or “Who is ready to dance?” Give it a title, add your options, and save. The interaction sits in draft mode until you push it live. Here is what the interactions dashboard looks like:
Click the Live Screen button in your host console. This opens the projection-ready display at /screen. Before your event starts, the screen shows a waiting state with your event name and a countdown clock. It looks polished and professional on any projector setup:
EventWrist wristbands come as blank Tyvek bands with QR codes. You generate the codes in the Attendees tab — each code links to your event and registers the wristband to a specific device. Print them, strap them on guests as they arrive, and let the interaction begin.
Once your event goes live, guests scan their wristband QR codes. Their browser opens instantly. They pick an avatar, enter their name, and they are ready to participate. From your host console, you control everything — push polls, approve danmaku messages, and trigger raffles.
Total setup time for a basic event: under ten minutes. Create your first event and see how quickly you can go from planning to live.
