How a night runs
Standard 1 to 75 numbers, your own list of 25 or more items, or trivia bingo where each call is a question (correct answer = the daub). A Cellar pack draw keeps the answers short enough to fit a card.
Players scan a QR. Each one gets a randomized card. No accounts, no app installs.
Calls land on every player's phone in real time. Players can turn on Auto-mark so nobody loses a square because they were chewing.
Their BINGO button lights up the moment the pattern is complete. One tap, and Brainflood checks the card against the called items and the active pattern. No more scrambling for the cheat sheet.
The first valid claims take 1st, 2nd and 3rd (50, 30 and 20 points), or pay just one or two places. The round closes itself when the last place fills. Add another Bingo round with a new pattern. A typical night is four or five rounds.
What makes it shine
Single line, four corners, full card, X. Switch between rounds so the same crowd can't camp on one strategy all night.
Question is the call. "Capital of Australia." Anyone with Canberra on their card daubs it. Same card layout, totally different energy.
Every phone gets a unique card. No one's swapping with the table next to them. The center is always FREE.
Players can let the app mark called squares for them, so nobody misses a daub because they were ordering wings. In trivia bingo you can also let players bet a square before the answer is revealed, for a bonus or a penalty you set.
The creator shows a sample bingo card as you build, filled with your own items once you add 25. Each win pattern is drawn as a mini card, so you see exactly what players must mark. No wasted Tuesday prep building a bingo round that looks wrong on the projector.
Print Pack exports unique, numbered bingo cards for players who aren't on their phone. Each card ID can be checked against the calls when someone shouts BINGO. Useful for senior nights, family events, or anywhere you want physical cards on the table.
Where it works
Bingo is the lowest-stakes entertainment Brainflood ships. Grandma can play it. So can the table of dads who refuse to do trivia.
Wednesday family bingo fills the slow midweek tables. Kids can play, parents can drink.
Wedding reception bingo with personal milestones (where they met, first dance song) makes it feel custom.
Run bingo during intermission. Five-minute round, prize, back to the queue. Keeps the room from drifting to the bar.
