Share your Instagram with a tap.

No spelling out your handle over the music. They tap your wrist, your Instagram opens, and they follow you from there.

How sharing Instagram with a tap works

Your Larp side is the chip under the raised face on the outside of your wrist. It holds a link to your Larp page, and that page lists the socials you chose, Instagram included.

  1. They hold their phone to your wrist.
  2. Your Larp page opens in their browser. No app to install.
  3. They tap Instagram and your profile opens, usually right in the Instagram app if they have it.
  4. They follow you. You never had to spell anything.

The same page can carry your TikTok, Snapchat and Discord too, so one tap covers all of them instead of four separate “what’s your @?” conversations.

02

What you can put on your Larp side

By default the Larp side starts with the public ones: Instagram, LinkedIn, Discord, Snapchat, TikTok, X, GitHub, YouTube, Spotify and Website. Add just the ones you use, in the order you want them to appear.

  • Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, X: add your handle and each becomes a button that opens your profile.
  • Discord: usernames show with a copy button, so they can paste it straight into Discord.
  • Website: a portfolio, a link page or a shop.

Put any link on Larp, Alt or both, and change it anytime in your dashboard.

Setting it up

  1. When your band arrives, tap it with your own phone. The setup page opens.
  2. Sign in and enter the PIN from the card in the box. The band is now yours.
  3. Add your name, a photo if you like, and your Instagram handle.
  4. Add any other socials, and pick which side each one goes on.
  5. Tap your own band to see exactly what other people will see.

That’s the whole setup. There’s nothing to program on the band itself.

04

What the other person sees

A clean page with your name and photo, your links as big buttons, and two actions: Save contact, which gives their phone your contact card, and Send yours back, where they can share their own details with you if they want to.

You can open the demo tap page on your phone right now to see it.

Tips for a clean tap

  • iPhone: tell them to hold the top of the back, near the camera to your wrist. The screen side won’t read. Then they tap the notification that slides down.
  • Android: the middle of the back, with NFC on (it usually is).
  • Hold still for a second. A quick swipe past often misses.
  • Phone won’t read it? The QR pocket card in the box opens the same page with the camera.

The full explanation, including why a tap sometimes doesn’t read, is in how NFC wristbands work.

06

Changing your handle later

The chip only holds a link to your page, so nothing on the band ever needs rewriting. New handle, new account, or you’d rather share TikTok first this month? Change it in your dashboard and the next tap shows the update.

07

What about your phone number?

Instagram is fine for anyone at the party. Your number probably isn’t. That’s what the Alt side is for: it’s on the inside of your wrist, and it only comes out when you flip your wrist for someone.

How to split the two is in share your socials, keep your number private. And the band itself is explained on the NFC wristband page.
