How a night runs

Five steps from the host's side.

  1. 1

    Pick your call list.

    Standard 1 to 75 numbers, or load a trivia bingo pack where each call is a question (correct answer = the daub).

  2. 2

    Open the session.

    Players scan a QR. Each one gets a randomized card. No accounts, no app installs.

  3. 3

    Call. Players daub.

    Calls land on every player's phone in real time. Pre-mark is on by default so quiet kids don't lose a square because they were chewing.

  4. 4

    Someone yells bingo.

    Tap claim. Brainflood checks their card against the called numbers and the active pattern. No more scrambling for the cheat sheet.

  5. 5

    Top three claimers win.

    First three valid claims split the round. Reset, change patterns, run another. A typical night is four or five rounds.

What makes it shine

Bingo for right now.

🎯

Four win patterns

Single line, four corners, full card, X. Switch between rounds so the same crowd can't camp on one strategy all night.

🧠

Trivia bingo variant

Question is the call. "Capital of Australia." Anyone with Canberra on their card daubs it. Same card layout, totally different energy.

🃏

Random cards per player

Every phone gets a unique card. No one's swapping with the table next to them. The center is always FREE.

Pre-mark feature

Phones beep when a call matches a square. Players can't miss a daub because they were ordering wings. Toggle off if you want a stricter pace.

🎨

Live card preview while you build

The Visual Game Designer renders a sample bingo card in real time as you tune the call list, theme, and win pattern. Pick a variant (classic / music / picture / trivia) from the dropdown and the preview updates instantly. No wasted Tuesday prep building a bingo round that looks wrong on the projector.

Where it works

Mixed-age rooms, mostly.

Bingo is the lowest-stakes entertainment Brainflood ships. Grandma can play it. So can the table of dads who refuse to do trivia.

Plan availability

Bingo is on Starter and up.
