How to Play

Bingo is an easy game to play. Here's how a typical game works:

  1. You will be given 1 to 3 randomly generated Bingo Cards
  2. A random Call is made every few seconds
  3. Select items on your Bingo Card(s) that match the Calls *
  4. Once you have selected enough items to match the pattern for the Game Type, click the BINGO! button
  5. If it's a valid Bingo, a few seconds will be given to the other players to check their cards before the game ends. If it's not a valid Bingo** the game will continue until someone gets a valid Bingo.

* If there is more than 1 item that matches a Call, only select 1 item; It doesn't matter which one. For example, if the Call is "5 + 4" and there is more than one "9" on your Bingo Card only select one.
** If you make 3 invalid Bingo calls your game will be over. In Multiplayer, you will be able to play in the next game.

The 2 Game Types are: 5 In A Row and Cover All.

5 In A Row

The 5 In A Row Game Type is used when there are 30 or more notecards available. Calls will include a "B", "I", "N", "G" or "O". For example, if you are playing Bingo for State Capitals and the Call is "B-Texas", look for "Austin" under the "B" letter on your Bingo Card.

A valid Bingo is when 5 consecutive items are correctly selected to form a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line.

Cover All

The Cover All Game Type is used when there are less than 30 notecards available. Calls will not include a letter. For example, if you are playing Bingo for Solar System and the Call is "closest to the sun", look for "mercury" anywhere on your Bingo Card.

A valid Bingo is when all 9 items are correctly selected.
