Planning the evening

Works around
your evening.

A booked drawing window
2 hours of drawing time alongside dinner or mingling. Longer sessions are available, in 30-minute blocks.
Pauses when you need them
If you want the robots to pause during dinner or speeches, tell us and we’ll build it into your quote.
Something to watch or try
Colleagues can watch the robot draw, compare styles and take home their own portrait.
A drawing to take home
Each guest drawn takes home a pen-drawn portrait, in a realistic or caricature style.
The process

How it works
at your party.

Our attendant welcomes guests and runs the experience from start to finish.

1
We arrive early and set up

We arrive at least 30 minutes before your drawing time starts, set up our table, robots and photo tablet, and test everything. We bring our own internet hotspot, so no venue WiFi is needed.

2
Guests step in whenever they like

Guests join at any point during your booked drawing time; our attendant guides them through the process and manages the flow.

3
Colleagues take their drawing home

The finished portrait is handed to the guest to keep. Digital copies can be arranged before the event (price on request). We pack down in about 20 minutes afterwards.

For the organizer

You enjoy the party.
We run the robot.

Before the party we’ll agree on the space, power and drawing window. On the night, our attendant runs the station.

It’s different: a photo booth prints a photo, while here guests watch a robot draw their portrait line by line, in pen, and take home a drawing. See our full robot portraits vs photo booth comparison.
Sample portraits

Realistic or caricature.
Guests choose.

Guests choose a realistic line portrait or a caricature, in a simple or detailed version. Full body, group and pet portraits are available too.

Each portrait is drawn in pen by the robot on a Robo Portraits card (6 × 4 inch, 300 gsm). It’s a drawing, not a print.
