Set up and launch your events with PrizeQR

How it works

One simple idea: scan, reveal, hand out

PrizeQR turns a plain QR code into an instant-prize mechanic. Your guest (or your host/ambassador) scans the QR with their phone and the screen instantly reveals whether they won and what they won. You define the prizes, the odds and the stock; the platform handles the rest in real time.

Every time a prize is revealed, PrizeQR deducts one unit from that prize. When a prize reaches zero, it simply stops appearing. So “80 backpacks → 79 → 78…” is handled for you, no matter how many times the same code is scanned.

Go to prizeqr.com and sign in with your email and password (or with Google). The dashboard is available in English and Spanish for your whole team.

Your plan sets how many participations per month you can receive, how many events and prizes you can create, and which advanced features unlock:

Open Prizes → New prize and fill in each item: Name (what the guest sees when they win), Probability (%) (how often it's won) and Stock (how many you have; enter -1 for unlimited). That's your whole inventory loaded in minutes.

You can edit, activate/deactivate or delete any prize at any time. Deactivating a prize removes it from the draw without deleting its history.

In Configuration you choose how codes are distributed among participants. There are two modes:

• •Single QR for everyone: one reusable code your ambassadors scan again and again. Great for a bar, a booth or a host handing out prizes. Protection is via per-IP attempt limiting.
• •Individual QR per item: each item carries its own signed (HMAC) QR that can only be scanned once. Great for tickets, cups or cards where each person scans their own.

×

For the individual mode, go to QR Codes and generate as many codes as you need; from there you can print the labels as a PDF. Each code is unique and single-use.

×

In Screen you define what guests see when they scan and on your public screen: logos (light- and dark-background versions), title and subtitle, colors (primary, background and header) and footer phrases that rotate automatically.

×

The prize-popup duration controls how many seconds the celebration overlay stays on screen when someone wins.

Want a live winners wall at your booth? From the dashboard, click “View screen →” (bottom-left) to open your public screen link. Drag that window onto a TV or monitor and go fullscreen (F11 in most browsers).

×

Every prize won appears there instantly — a great crowd-pleaser next to your bar or photo wall. The styling is inherited from whatever you set in Screen.

Open Statistics to watch, in real time, hourly activity, prizes delivered per item, total participations and win rate. Everything can be exported to CSV for your reports.

Running the event again tomorrow with the same QR and setup? In Statistics, the “Reset event data” button sets delivered prizes back to zero and clears the scan/winner history, while keeping prizes, stock, QR and all settings.

×

With Auto-winners (Pro plan and above) you schedule automatic winners on the public screen during time windows, so it never looks empty and keeps the buzz going.

×

When a guest wins, their screen shows a short winner code. Your staff enters it in Validate prize to confirm the prize and mark it as collected, preventing duplicates.

×

You'll see the prize name, the status (pending collection / already collected) and the timestamps. A clean flow to control handover in person.

In Plan & billing you see your current plan, this month's participation usage, and you can upgrade or manage your subscription (payments securely handled by Stripe).

×

• •Team (Agency plan): invite other people to manage the account with you via an invite link.
• •API (Agency plan): integrate PrizeQR with your systems via REST, authenticating with an API key. Query events, prizes, participations and stats programmatically.

The guest experience

This is what a scanner sees

On scanning, the guest sees your brand and, if they win, a celebration with the prize and a code to collect it. They can share their prize on WhatsApp with one tap — organic word-of-mouth for your event.

Usage examples

Four ways to put it to work

1) Bar or drinks counter (1 QR + ambassador). Print the single QR and stick it on the counter or your host's badge. They scan the same QR with each guest; the prize shows on their phone and they hand it over on the spot. Recommended: odds at 100% and the per-IP limit switched off.

2) Trade fair or booth. Draw visitors in with instant prizes. Use the single QR on a visible sign, or individual QRs on flyers/cards you hand out. Perfect to grab attention (and leads) in a busy aisle.

3) Retail or store. Place the QR in the window or print it on the receipt to build loyalty and drive repeat visits. Low-stock, high-perceived-value prizes work especially well here.

4) Live-screen giveaway. Project the public screen on a venue TV: every prize won appears on the winners wall in real time. Pair it with auto-winners so the screen is never empty.
