How to Play Bingo

You can play bingo by downloading a PDF with the cards or using smartphones, tablets, or computers. Currently, all players need to be in the same physical space, as players will call out “Bingo” when they complete a winning pattern (such as a row, corners, or blackout).

Step 1: Choose a Bingo Template

Start by selecting a bingo template from our ready-made categories or use our bingo card generator. We offer themes for holidays, education, vocabulary, and more.

Step 2: Launch the Game

Click the Play button on the template page to open the Online Caller. When the caller page opens, a settings dialog will appear:

• By default, the caller device displays and speaks the called item.
• To show called items directly on players’ devices, select Yes for “Show called item on cards?”
• You can also connect the caller device to a projector or TV, and/or announce each item verbally.

Step 3: Share the Game Link

Close the settings dialog and click the ticket icon. A popup will appear with a game link and QR code that players can use to join the game on their own devices. You can also print the downloaded PDF with the cards and give the cards to the players.

Step 4: Start Calling Items

Choose from three calling modes:

• Full Manual – Click an item to call it
• Random Manual – Click the play icon each time to call a random item
• Random Automatic – Click the play icon once to call random items at set intervals

You can switch modes at any time using the settings icon.

Step 5: Players Mark Their Cards

As each item is called, players tap or click their digital cards to mark them.

Step 6: Declare Bingo

When a player completes a winning pattern, such as a row, column, diagonal, or any agreed-upon pattern(s), they call out “Bingo!”
The host can verify the win using the caller screen.

The host can also ask the player for their card number and click the check icon to view which items on that card have been correctly called.

Step 7: Keep Playing

After the first win, you can continue playing toward additional goals, such as blackout (marking the entire card), or declare new winning pattern(s) to keep the game going.
