## In short
Fotospiel is a guest PWA for events. You don’t need an account—just the invite link or QR. After that, you can take photos and share them in the event gallery.

## The core flow
1. **Join the event** → open the link, choose a name.
2. **Capture a photo** → open the camera, take the shot, confirm.
3. **Share it** → finish the upload, open the gallery, collect likes.

## Key areas in the app
- **Home:** Missions and highlights.
- **Tasks:** Photo missions (if enabled).
- **Gallery:** All photos, likes, sharing.
- **Achievements:** Progress, badges, leaderboards.
- **Bell:** Notifications & upload status.

## Good to know
- **Moderation:** Some events review uploads before they appear.
- **Offline:** You can still capture; content refreshes once online.
- **Push:** Notifications are optional and can be enabled from the bell menu.
