ROLL CALL

The procession, the durbar, the street party. One roll.

Homowo in Accra, Chale Wote in Jamestown, Calabar Carnival, Ojude Oba in Ijebu-Ode: the best photos of a festival like these are on thousands of phones that never get shared. Roll Call gathers them into one gallery. The crowd scans a QR code, shoots on their own phones, and the whole day develops at once for everyone who came, at home or in the diaspora.

Every quarter, every family

Add up to four teams, for floats, houses, quarters or age groups. Everyone picks one when they join and the live tally keeps the rivalry going.

Out on the street, signal or not

Photos save on the guest’s phone and upload themselves when the signal comes back, so the procession never waits on the network.

Share it with the diaspora

One gallery link for everyone who couldn’t make the trip home. Keep it for a year, or forever, and download every photo at full size for the archive.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps, then enjoy the party.

  1. ▸01 Set it up in two minutes. Name, date, how many guests, how many shots each, and when the photos develop.
  2. ▸02 Put out the QR code. Print the signs or share the link. Guests scan, type their name and shoot. No app.
  3. ▸03 Everything develops at once. At the time you chose, every roll appears in one gallery for everyone.

Questions

Is it only for big festivals?

No. A town festival, a durbar, a church harvest or a homecoming works the same way. Small events are free, and bigger ones are one payment in cedis or naira.

Can the organisers choose what’s shared?

Yes. You can hide any photo from the gallery or delete it for good before you share the link, and every photo is checked automatically for anything that shouldn’t be there.

Do guests need to download an app?

No. Guests scan the QR code on the table and the camera opens in their phone’s browser. They type their name and start shooting. No app store, no account, no password. It works on iPhone and Android.

How much does Roll Call cost?

Small events are free: up to 10 guests with 10 shots each. Bigger events are a one-off payment per event, never a subscription, priced by how many guests, how many shots each, how long the gallery is kept and whether it’s private. A 150-guest wedding with 24 shots each, kept private for a year, is $75.50. We price in GHS, NGN, USD, EUR, GBP, KES and ZAR.

When do the photos appear?

At the reveal time you pick: midnight, the next morning, or whenever you say so. Until then every photo stays sealed, like film waiting to be developed. Nobody sees a thing, not even the host. Then the whole night appears at once in one shared gallery.

Why limit how many photos each guest can take?

It’s what makes a disposable camera fun. With a fixed roll and no previews, guests stop scrolling through retakes and shoot the moments that matter. You choose the roll: 10, 15, 24 or 36 shots each.
