Photo app · Unity · Android

A photo challenge app built from an open question in two days.

Chaos Booth turns quick photo challenges into playful collages that can be edited, saved and shared from an Android phone.

The app today

Chaos Booth is available on Google Play. Choose Funny & Friendly or Wild & Crazy, follow a photo challenge and create a collage you can customise, save locally and share through compatible apps. The store listing describes 20 challenges, gallery-photo collages and no required account. The development screenshots below follow how the app took shape.

How it began

How it started

The starting point was simple: AI Built Projects already documented games and websites, so I wanted to see what would happen if I built a real mobile application with AI assistance too.

My first ideas were practical. I considered an app that could make it quicker to check ratings and information while browsing films and series. I also explored ideas connected to gemstones and valuation. The problem was not whether those ideas could be built. It was whether they offered something distinctive enough to justify building them.

The conversations gradually moved away from utility and towards play. Instead of another information tool, I decided to make something social, visual and deliberately light-hearted: an app that gives people photo challenges, guides them through taking the pictures and turns the result into a collage. That decision became Chaos Booth.

The app

Two moods, one simple idea: make taking photos more fun

Chaos Booth opens with two different routes. Funny & Friendly keeps the challenges playful and accessible. Wild & Crazy pushes the expressions, characters and collage ideas further. Both modes use the same straightforward flow, so the focus stays on the people in front of the camera rather than on learning complicated controls.

Funny & Friendly

Photo challenges, funny collages and a surprise option designed for easy group play.

Wild & Crazy

More exaggerated prompts, chaotic collage themes and a roulette option for players who want less predictability.

Choose a challenge, follow the countdown and build the collage

The app presents a challenge as a sequence of photos. A configurable countdown gives the player time to prepare for each shot. A retake stops the automatic progression when a photo needs another attempt; otherwise, the app can continue through the sequence without turning the moment into a technical exercise.

Create

The completed sequence becomes a themed collage ready for editing.

Edit your creation

Change the style, rewrite the captions and choose the format

The first generated collage is not the only possible result. Players can switch between visual styles, change the collage title and individual captions, and select a square, portrait or story format. The editing tools are intentionally focused: enough control to personalise the result without turning Chaos Booth into a full photo editor.

Local by design

Your photos and creations stay under your control

Chaos Booth does not require an account, subscription or purchase. Photos, optional background removal and person-position detection are processed locally on the device. Saved collages remain on the phone and can be managed through My Creations.

Sharing begins only when the player chooses Share. Android then opens its system sharing interface so the player can select the destination. Countdown and sound preferences are also stored locally.

2026
October · Ideas, two-day build and submission

October · From an open question to a photo app. I explored practical app ideas before choosing playful photo challenges and collages. The first version took two days, with Funny & Friendly and Wild & Crazy as its two routes.

17 October · Submitted for review. The earlier project record described a completed Android build waiting for Google Play review. The public Google Play listing followed that review stage.

Read the submission and final-design story.

November · Google Play availability

4 November 2026 · Recorded publishing status

From the first submission to a Google Play listing

I moved Chaos Booth from an open-ended idea to a submitted Android application in two days. The 17 October record described the review stage. By 4 November 2026, Chaos Booth was available to install from Google Play.

The speed of the build is part of the experiment, but it is not the whole story. Several ideas were tested, the visual direction changed and an earlier working design was left unpublished before this final version was chosen. The development journal follows those decisions in more detail.
