The group chatfor your guest list.
Throwing a party or running an event? Start a Banter room and everyone there joins in seconds with just a name. Announcements, photos, polls and games in one place, no numbers to collect, and it all disappears when the night ends.
Coming soon to iPhone and Android. Free for hosts and guests.
You bring the people. Banter brings them together.
Keep the party going.
- ✓Guests scan your QR at the door and they're in the chat
- ✓Trivia, Charades and Never Have I Ever when the energy dips
- ✓Polls to settle the playlist, the food and the after-party spot
- ✓View-once snaps, so what happens at the party stays there

Run the room, not a WhatsApp group.
- ✓One QR on the screen, the programme or the table cards, and everyone's in
- ✓Announcements, schedule changes and photos reach everyone at once
- ✓Live polls and anonymous Q&A for talks, panels and sermons

- ✓It closes when your event does. Nothing to clean up after
From guest list to group chat in three steps.
Start your room
Name it after your party or event, choose who gets in, and hit go. Your phone runs it on the venue Wi‑Fi, or starts its own hotspot when there isn't any.
Guests scan and join
Put your QR on a screen, a table card or the door. Guests pick a name and they're in. No sign-up, no swapping numbers.
The night ends, so does the chat
End the room when you wrap up, or it closes itself after 24 hours. Messages, photos and videos are wiped from every phone.
Everything your guests need. Nothing you clean up after.
No venue Wi‑Fi? No problem.
Invite links
Photos, videos & view once
Live polls
Anonymous Q&A
Feels like your favourite chat
You run the room
No more dead moments.
When the energy dips or the speaker runs late, start a game right in the chat. Your phone runs it, so it works with no internet at all, and new games and packs keep arriving.
Trivia
Kahoot-style rounds across 8 categories, from Africa to Movies & TV. Faster answers score more.
Never Have I Ever
Classic or spicy 🌶️. Play it anonymous and only the counts show. The most guilty still get crowned.
Imposter
Everyone gets the secret word except one. Give clues, vote, and catch the liar before they guess it.
Charades
Act out the word on your screen while the room shouts guesses. Got it, skip, next. Pure chaos.
What happens at the party, stays at the party.
No numbers to collect
Guests join with just a name. You never see their phone numbers, and they never see yours.
Wiped when it ends
Messages, photos and videos are deleted from every phone. Rooms end after 24 hours at most.
Nothing on our servers
Online rooms pass messages along and never store them.
Screenshots, handled
Hosts can block them for the whole room, and everyone sees when someone takes one.
Anonymous means anonymous
Anonymous answers and votes never carry a name, not even to the host.
Rough location only
Nearby rooms use your area to about 100 m, and only if you turn it on.
Honest note: online rooms aren't end-to-end encrypted yet, and Banter tells you so inside the app. Encryption is next on the list.
Questions? Fair.
How many guests can join?+
Up to 50 people per room, you included. Bigger crowd? Open a few rooms, one per table, section or team.
Do my guests need internet?+
No. Rooms on the venue Wi‑Fi or your phone's hotspot work with no internet at all, games included. Online rooms and invite links need data.
Does everyone need the app?+
Yes, guests join from the free Banter app. Joining takes a name and a scan, so put your QR somewhere everyone can see it.
Can I keep gatecrashers out?+
Turn on "Let people in myself" and approve each guest, or make an online room invite only. You can remove, mute or ban anyone, and a ban sticks to their phone, not just their name.
Can I use it for a wedding, conference or church event?+
Yes. Announcements, photos, live polls and anonymous Q&A work for any gathering, and the room closes when you're done.
What happens after the party?+
End the room, or it closes after 24 hours. Its chat, photos and videos are deleted from every phone, so there's no group to leave and nothing left behind.
When can I get it?+
Banter is with testers right now. It's coming to the App Store and Google Play soon.
Your next party already has a group chat.
Banter is coming to iPhone and Android. Free for hosts and guests, no numbers, no trace.
