Bingo night
at your venue
In the canteen, clubhouse or hall you already have. We bring the rounds, the equipment and the presentation.
Why bingo gets going so fast
Bingo needs no explanation. With almost any other format, the first ten minutes go on rules, dividing people into teams and checking that everyone has understood. Here the host hands out cards, calls the first number and it's under way.
That might seem like a small detail, until you have a room of people who don't all know each other, or an age gap of fifty years. Then a game that nobody is left out of is worth more than one that's more original on paper.
- Host, cards and equipment included

Four kinds of round, mixed up
The standard round
First a full row, then a full card. This one goes first because everyone has the hang of it after two minutes, including people who have never played bingo.
The picture round
Instead of numbers, pictures or logos appear on the screen. Same game, a different kind of recognition, and it breaks up the run of numbers.
The music round
The card fills up with song snippets instead of numbers. It works well halfway through, when the room gets a bit noisier and something different is needed.
The final round
One round to decide it all, with the biggest prize at stake. That keeps even a table that hasn't won anything all evening in the game until the end.
A bingo night lives or dies by its pace
Pace decides whether a bingo night works. Too fast and half the room loses the thread, too slow and it turns into a long sit. Whoever is up at the front has to keep adjusting it to what they see at the tables.
That's also why it's worth outsourcing. If someone from the club or the office runs it, they're working all evening and miss their own party. With us, everyone on your side can simply sit down with a card.
A bingo night run by us starts at €195. If it's part of a longer programme with several formats, it will cost more.
What we need from you
For a bingo night we need tables to sit at, power, and a view of a screen from every seat. If a projector or television is already there, we use it. If not, we bring one ourselves.
Setting up takes half an hour and is done before the first guests arrive. We'd also like to know in advance how many people are coming and roughly what the age range is, because we adjust the rounds and the pace to suit.
We also agree in advance who provides the prizes. If you arrange them yourselves, we take the number into account, and which prize goes with which round.
Frequently asked questions
What ages is a bingo night suitable for?
A bingo night works for anyone from about eight to well into their eighties, which is exactly why it's chosen so often. It needs no fitness or prior knowledge, and nobody has to do anything they feel uncomfortable with. With mixed groups we only adjust the pace and the prizes.
Do we have to provide the prizes ourselves?
You're welcome to provide the prizes yourselves, and many groups prefer that because the prizes then mean something within the club or company. If you'd rather leave it to us, we bring a set of prizes that suits the group and the number of rounds.
How long does a bingo night last?
Our bingo nights last one and a half to two hours, spread over five to seven rounds with a break in between. It can be shorter if it's part of a longer evening. We advise against more than seven rounds, because then it gets repetitive.
