Frequently asked questions
How many people can take part in the experience?
Unlimited depending on the space you have available. We recommend a space of 6m x 3m which comfortably allows us to shoot selfies and groups but we program Showbolt specifically for your event so have endless options.
What does the setup look like?
We can configure our set up for your space but typically 6m x 3m is plenty. 
How long does set up take?

How long does the experience last?
From entering the shoot space to receiving your content is about 2-3 minutes. This gives us time to offer guests some direction, to shoot it, allow the user to review it and then share it.
