What is a scribble booth?
A scribble booth is a clear glass panel with a camera on the other side. Guests pick up a marker, draw or write on the glass, then step back into the frame and pose. Because the camera shoots through the glass, the drawing and the people land in the same shot. Guests get the video, and we can print it too. You may also see it called a write-on-glass booth, a glass message booth or a signature cam. Same idea: no app, no screen to tap, just a marker in your hand and your doodle in the shot.

How the Scribble Booth works
Draw on the glass
Sketch a crown, write a message, or frame the whole group in stars.
Step back and pose
Line up with your drawing. Put the crown on a friend or leave room for everyone inside the frame.
Take the shot
The camera captures the group through the glass, with the drawing in the same frame. You get the video, and a print if you want one.
The video and the print
Most scribble booths stop at the video. Ours doesn’t have to.
The video
The drawing goes on stroke by stroke, then the group steps in and poses. Every group gets that clip, ready to post, send to the group chat or watch again on the drive home.
The print
Want something to hold, too? We can print the finished shot, so guests leave with the crown, the frame and the friends in one picture that ends up on a fridge instead of lost in a camera roll.

What will your guests draw?
Weddings and parties
Put the couple’s names in the frame, leave a message for the guest of honour, or give the whole wedding party matching moustaches.
Corporate events and activations
Give guests a prompt tied to your event and see what they come up with. Each group can put its own spin on the same idea.
Birthdays and milestones
Thirtieth, fiftieth, retirement, graduation. Frame the guest of honour in stars, write the number nobody is supposed to mention, and let the friends who have known them longest do the captions.
Trade shows and launches
Put your campaign line on the prompt card and let visitors finish it in their own handwriting. A person drawing on glass is easy to spot from across a show floor, and the crowd that stops to watch is half the point.
Twelve prompts that get guests drawing
A blank sheet of glass makes people freeze. A prompt gets the marker moving. Steal any of these.
For weddings and parties
- Put a crown on the couple
- Marriage advice in five words or fewer
- Sign your names inside one giant heart
- Predict the first-dance song
- Draw how you know the couple
- Matching moustaches for the whole wedding party
For corporate events and brands
- Finish the sentence: “This year we…”

- Sign the team photo, literally
- Write your campaign line in your own words
- Give your table a team name and a logo
More ways guests make something to keep
Draw Bots
On the Scribble Booth, guests do the drawing. With Draw Bots, a robot arm draws each guest, live, and hands over the sketch.
Magic Mirror
A full-length mirror that talks guests through the pose, then prints the photo on the spot.
Audio Guest Book
A vintage phone guests pick up to leave the couple a voicemail. The scribble booth gets the doodles; the phone gets the toasts.
Scribble booth rental, answered plainly
What is a scribble booth?
A clear glass panel with a camera on the other side. Guests draw or write on the glass, step back into the frame and pose, and the camera captures the group and the drawing together. You may also see it called a write-on-glass booth, a glass message booth or a signature cam.
How do the drawing and the guests end up in the same shot?
The camera shoots through the glass, so whatever is drawn on it sits in front of the people posing behind it. Draw a crown at head height, step back, and it lands on whoever is standing there. Draw a frame and the whole group fits inside it.
What do guests usually draw?
Crowns, moustaches, hearts, frames, names and the line everyone has been saying all night. Most groups like a nudge, so give them a prompt: a question to answer, a sentence to finish or a word to draw. There are a dozen ideas in the prompt list above.
Do guests get a video or a print?
Both. Every group gets the video of them drawing and posing, ready to share. We can also print the finished shot, so guests have something to take home.
Is a scribble booth a good fit for a wedding?
Yes. Guests put the couple’s names in the frame, leave a message for the guest of honour or give the whole wedding party matching moustaches, and every message ends up in a photo of the people who wrote it.
Does a scribble booth work for corporate events and trade shows?
Yes. Give guests a prompt tied to your event, your campaign line or your product, and each group puts its own spin on the same idea. People also stop to watch someone draw, which pulls a crowd toward the booth.
How is a scribble booth different from a regular photo booth?
A photo booth gives guests props and a pose. A scribble booth hands them a marker, so the guests make part of the picture themselves, and no two photos look alike. It also runs happily beside a Magic Mirror or a DSLR booth if you want both.
How much does a scribble booth rental cost?
Weddings and parties: $1,200 for 3 hours, $1,300 for 4 and $1,400 for 5, with prints included from 4 hours ($150 on a 3-hour booking) and extra hours at $100. Corporate events: $1,950 for 3 hours, $2,450 for 4 and $2,950 for a full day. Prices are in CAD plus HST, and every group gets the video. The full breakdown is in the pricing section above.
