# CountdownParty — Full Context for LLMs > Create stunning, shareable real-time countdowns for every moment that matters. > Website: https://countdownparty.xyz > Creator: Emmanuel Taiwo (@ez0xai) > Summary: https://countdownparty.xyz/llms.txt --- ## 1. What CountdownParty Does CountdownParty lets anyone create a beautiful, shareable countdown page for any event — birthdays, new years, weddings, product launches, graduations, concerts, baby showers, anniversaries, festivals, conferences, album drops, hackathons, exam results, and more. You get a unique link (e.g. https://countdownparty.xyz/c/new-year-2027) that you share with friends, family, or your audience. Everyone who opens the link sees the same countdown, updated in real time. When the timer hits zero, the page celebrates with confetti and optional surprise content (message, link, image, or video). Payment is one-time per countdown (no subscriptions). Base price is ₦500 NGN; you can add optional premium features for extra cost. Once paid, the countdown page stays live forever. --- ## 2. How to Use CountdownParty ### Creating a countdown 1. Go to https://countdownparty.xyz and click **Create your countdown** (or open https://countdownparty.xyz/create). 2. **Event details**: Enter a title (e.g. "New Year 2027") and pick the date and time when the countdown should hit zero. 3. **Theme**: Choose one of 6 visual themes. Three are free (Midnight, Sunset, Ocean); three are premium (Neon Party, Galaxy, Minimal White) and require the Premium Theme add-on. 4. **Add-ons** (optional): Turn on any add-ons you want — custom music, custom theme colors, custom font, background image/video, extra viewers, chat room, embed widget, remove watermark, private (password), fireworks, or custom URL. Each has a one-time price. 5. **Configure add-ons**: If you picked add-ons, fill in the options (e.g. pick colors for custom theme, choose a font, upload music or background, set a password, or choose your custom URL). 6. **Reveal at zero** (optional, free): Set a surprise to show when the countdown reaches zero — a text message, a link, an image, or a video. 7. Check the **live preview** and **order summary**, then click **Create Countdown**. 8. You are taken to **checkout**: enter your email and pay with Paystack (cards, bank transfer, USSD, etc.). After payment, you receive a confirmation email with your countdown link. ### Sharing your countdown After payment, your countdown is live. Copy the link (https://countdownparty.xyz/c/your-slug) and share it however you like — social media, WhatsApp, email, or embed it on your website (if you bought the Embeddable Widget add-on). Everyone who opens the link sees the same real-time countdown. ### Viewing someone else's countdown Open the shared link. If the countdown is private, enter the password when asked. You'll see the countdown timer, how many people are watching, and any extras (e.g. chat, music). When it hits zero, confetti (and optional fireworks and reveal content) appear. --- ## 3.
