Here are some creative ways to use PicTomo features at New Year parties and gatherings. Beyond photo sharing, it can be a star of party entertainment and games!
1. Collect Photos in Advance with Self-Introduction Mode
Before the party, have participants submit their photos using "Self-Introduction Mode".
How to Use
- Create an album and enable "Self-Introduction Mode"
- Share the QR code with participants to submit their photo with name and a short comment
- On the day, enjoy looking at everyone's photos and guessing "Who is this?"
Variety of Submitted Photos
Depending on personality, the photos submitted vary widely:
- Serious types: Formal ID-style photos
- Fun types: Funny faces, costumes, photos with pets
- Shy types: Back views, illustrations, photos of favorite things
These personality differences become conversation starters, helping even strangers break the ice.
2. Use Collage Feature for Lottery!
When you need a lottery for party entertainment, PicTomo's "Collage Feature" comes in handy.
Random Selection Method
- Select photos collected from self-introduction mode
- Open the collage feature
- Use the "Shuffle" button to randomly rearrange the photos
- Announce rules like "The person in the top-left corner wins!"
Tips for Excitement
- Press the shuffle button several times to build anticipation
- Everyone's face is on screen, so everyone feels involved

It's more exciting than traditional lottery apps because you can see everyone's faces.
3. Role-Play Game with Drama Chart
The "Drama Correlation Chart" mode in the collage feature is perfect for role-play games!
