Reveal

A reveal is the moment when photos that were held back are shown for the first time. In Filmriss, the gallery then opens for all guests at once, by default at 10 am the morning after the event.

Not developed yet10:00 reveal

This is what the morning after feels like with Filmriss: nobody sees a picture until the reveal, then everyone at once.

In short

A reveal is the moment something hidden becomes visible. With photos, the idea goes back to the disposable camera: you only find out what's on the film once it has been developed. That wait is a big part of the fun.

In Filmriss, the reveal is built into the flow. During the event nobody sees a picture, not even their own: no preview, no deleting. According to How it works, the gallery opens for everyone at once, by default at 10 am the morning after. The host decides the exact time.

Example

The day after a wedding, guests are still gathered for a late breakfast. At 10 am the gallery opens, and everyone scrolls through the night's snapshots together, including the ones nobody remembers taking.

What to watch out for

Tell guests in advance when the reveal will happen, so nobody assumes the photos are lost.
Pick a time when most people are awake and have a moment to look.
After the reveal, photos stay online for 90 days and are then deleted automatically (see the FAQ). Download your favourites in time.
