How to Play Bingo

Number bingo is the classic game format you know and love. Perfect for traditional gameplay, large events, and anyone who enjoys the classic bingo experience.

1. Get your card: Each player receives a bingo card with a 5×5 grid of numbers. The center square is typically marked as "FREE".
2. Listen for numbers: A caller draws numbers randomly (from 1-75 for standard bingo) and announces them. You can use a number generator or draw from a bingo ball cage.
3. Mark your card: When a number on your card is called, mark it (with a chip, marker, or by clicking if playing digitally).
4. Win the game: When you complete a winning pattern, shout "Bingo!" Common patterns include:
   • Horizontal line (any row)
   • Vertical line (any column)
   • Diagonal line (corner to corner)
   • Four corners
   • Blackout (all squares marked)

Text bingo replaces numbers with words, phrases, actions, or observations. Perfect for meetings, events, family parties, and any situation where you want to make things more engaging and fun.

1. Get your card: Each player receives a bingo card with phrases, words, or prompts instead of numbers. The center square is typically "FREE".
2. Two ways to play:
   • Caller mode: A caller reads prompts from a list, and players mark matching squares.
   • Observation mode: Players mark squares when they observe the action or phrase happening in real life (great for meetings, parties, or events).
3. Mark your card: When a phrase is called or observed, mark that square on your card.
4. Win the game: Complete a line, diagonal, or pattern and shout "Bingo!"

Popular uses: Office meeting bingo, baby shower games, book club activities, family reunion icebreakers, and more!

Image bingo uses AI-generated icons and illustrations instead of text or numbers. Each square contains a unique visual element, making it perfect for kids, visual learners, parties, and anyone who loves visual games.

1. Get your card: Each player receives a bingo card with AI-generated images or icons in each square. The center square is typically marked as "FREE".
2. How to play: Similar to text bingo, you can either:
   • Have a caller describe or show images
   • Mark squares when you see the corresponding image or concept in real life
   • Use it as a visual scavenger hunt
3. Mark your card: When you see or hear about the image/icon, mark that square.
4. Win the game: Complete a winning pattern and shout "Bingo!"
