What Is Singo? Music Bingo with a Twist

Singo = Music + Bingo

Singo takes the traditional rules of bingo and replaces the numbers with music clips. Instead of listening for “B-12” or “G-46,” you’ll be listening for hit songs from a playlist. As each song plays, players mark off the corresponding title on their Singo card. Just like in bingo, the first person to get five in a row shouts “Singo!” to win. It’s a high-energy, interactive game that combines listening, nostalgia, and a little bit of music knowledge—perfect for parties, bars, fundraisers, or even family gatherings.

How Does Singo Work?

Here’s a simple step-by-step breakdown:

1. Each player receives a Singo card with song titles instead of numbers.

2. A playlist is played with short clips (around 30–60 seconds) of songs from a selected category or theme.

3. As players hear a song on the playlist, they mark it on their card if it’s listed.

4. When someone gets a full row, two full rows or a full card they call out “Singo!” or "Bingo" to win.

Why Is Singo So Popular?

Singo has become a hit across the U.S. and internationally for several good reasons:

• It’s easy to learn – No complex rules or skills needed.

• It’s social and engaging – Great for groups, teams, and icebreakers.

• It appeals to all ages – You can customize the playlist for kids, teens, adults, or mixed-age events.

• It’s incredibly flexible – Singo works at birthday parties, corporate events, fundraisers, pubs, school events, or even online via Zoom.

You can choose playlists based on genres (like 80s, 90s, pop, country, rock), or even themed Singo games like “Movie Soundtracks,” “TV Theme Songs,” or “Holiday Hits.”

What You Need to Play Singo

To host a Singo game, all you need is:

• A Singo card for each player (printed or digital)

• A speaker and device to play your curated playlist
