For New Year's Eve
Fireworks on the screen all night. And every photo from midnight.
Guests scan a code on the TV and post photos and messages; each lands on the screen in about a second. The New Year theme puts fireworks over a city skyline, confetti in the air, and turns every reaction a guest taps into a firework bursting at the top of the screen.
Free to start. Try the New Year theme on your own wall for 10 seconds, no card.
- The cheer shows up on the wall
- Every reaction a guest taps flies up the screen and bursts into a firework. At midnight, with a room full of phones, the wall goes off.
- Midnight, from every angle
- Everyone films the countdown. The wall collects all of it — the kiss, the toast, the confetti — on one screen and in one download.
- No app at a loud party
- Guests scan with their phone camera and it opens in the browser. Nothing to install, nobody to sign up.
A New Year's Eve photo wall is a live screen at a New Year's party that guests post photos and messages to by scanning a QR code with their phone. On QR Wall it needs no app, takes under a minute to set up, and each photo appears on the screen about a second after it is posted.
The New Year theme sets the posts against a midnight city: a skyline with lit windows along the bottom, fireworks that climb and burst across the screen, confetti fluttering down in front of the photos, and twinkling stars. Every emoji reaction a guest sends rises up the wall and explodes into a firework at the top. It suits a house party, a rooftop or bar countdown and a company year-end party.
Ready before the countdown
Two minutes before guests arrive. At midnight, they only scan.
-
STEP 1
Open your wall on the screen
Create a wall ("NYE 2027 on the roof"), open the display link on the TV or projector and pick the New Year theme in Customize. The QR code is on the wall itself.
-
STEP 2
Guests post all night
Outfits, toasts, the countdown, the first photo of the year — and a resolution or two. Every reaction they tap bursts into a firework.
-
STEP 3
Keep midnight
On January 1st, download every photo and message, or share one gallery link with everyone who was there.
What the New Year theme does
The loudest seasonal theme — still built so every photo stays readable.
Fireworks over a skyline
Rockets climb from behind the city and burst high on the screen in gold, pink, white and teal, with sparks that fall and fade. A burst crosses a photo for two seconds, never sits on it.
Confetti in front of the photos
Ribbons of confetti flip and flutter as they fall — some behind the posts, a few drifting across them.
Reactions that explode PRO
Each reaction rises up the wall and bursts into a firework at the top. On Professional the buttons become 🎆 🥂 🎉 🍾 ✨ 🕛 💃 🥳.
Built for a crowded room PRO
Hundreds of guests can post at once. Professional adds an approval queue and AI moderation for a bar, venue or company party.
The one minute everyone films
At midnight, every phone in the room is up and recording. Then the videos go into forty camera rolls and most are never seen again. The wall turns that minute into something the room watches together — photos of the countdown landing on the screen while it is still happening, with fireworks bursting around them.
And because each reaction becomes a firework, the room's excitement is visible. When forty people tap 🎆 at 12:00, the top of the screen lights up — a countdown display that the guests made themselves.
The same wall, in Grid
Every photo of the night at once, under the skyline.
Grid shows every recent post — good for the hours before midnight. Slideshow gives each photo its moment — good for the first hour of the year. Switch from your phone; nobody rescans.

New Year's Eve photo wall questions
What hosts and venues ask before putting a live screen up for the countdown.
- How do I set up a photo wall for New Year's Eve?
- Create a wall at qrwall.live, open the display link on your TV or projector, and choose the New Year theme under Customize. Guests scan the QR code on the screen with their phone camera and their photos appear live, with fireworks and confetti animated around them. It takes under a minute and needs no app.
- What does the New Year theme look like?
- A midnight city: a skyline with lit windows along the bottom, fireworks bursting high on the screen, confetti falling in front of the photos and twinkling stars. Every reaction a guest taps rises and bursts into a firework at the top.
- Is the New Year theme free?
- Any free wall can preview it for 10 seconds. Premium ($10.99/month) keeps it on all night; cancel after New Year's if you only need it once.
- Can a bar or venue use it for a countdown party?
- Yes. Professional adds an approval queue and AI moderation so nothing inappropriate reaches the screen, your logo inside the QR code, and no QR Wall branding. Hundreds of guests can post at once.
- Will the fireworks cover people's photos?
- Only for a moment. Bursts happen high on the screen and fade in about two seconds, and confetti is sparse in front of the posts, so faces and messages stay readable.
Ten, nine, eight… and it's all on the wall.
Set it up before guests arrive. Watch the screen go off at midnight. Keep every photo on January 1st.
Free to start. No card, no commitment.
