How many songs do you need for music bingo?

That depends on the card. A 4x4 card plays with 48 songs, a 5x5 card with 75 and a 3x3 card with 27. The playlist comes ready-made with your order.

How long does a game of music bingo take?

About 45 minutes with a 4x4 card and a little over an hour with a 5x5 card. With a welcome and handing out prizes, plan for 1 to 1.5 hours. See how fast someone calls bingo.

How much does music bingo cost?

A music bingo costs from $21.95. You choose how many cards you need.

Do I need Spotify Premium?

No. A free Spotify account works too. Premium only removes the ads between the songs.

How many people can play music bingo?

As many as you like. You choose how many unique cards you need at checkout. Find the bingo card that suits your group.

Can I host music bingo in a bar or at an event?

Yes. All you need is a speaker and the cards. Playing music in public, for example in a bar or restaurant, needs a public performance license. Read how to host music bingo at a venue.

Can I play music bingo online?

Yes. Choose digital cards and share your sound in a video call. Here is how it works in Microsoft Teams and in Zoom.

How many times can I play my music bingo?

You can play printed cards as often as you like, at your next party too. Digital cards work for a month through the same link.

Are taxes included in the prices?

Subscription prices exclude applicable taxes. You receive an invoice in your company’s name.

How fast do we get the design?

Your draft design lands in your inbox within 1 business day. Want something changed? We’ll adjust it. You get the final bingo cards once you’re happy with the design.

What logo file format do you need?

Preferably an SVG, PDF or EPS. A sharp PNG with a transparent background works too. Send what you have and we will see what gives the best result.

Can we use a design from our own designer?

Yes. Send us your designer’s artwork and we’ll turn it into your bingo cards. Good to know: the cards are A4, portrait orientation.

Can you control when someone gets bingo?

No, and that is exactly what makes it fair. Every card is unique and gets random songs, and you play the playlist on shuffle. That way every player has exactly the same chance and nobody knows in advance who will win, not even us. What you do know is roughly when the bingos will come. You can see that above. And as the host you set the pace: how long you let a clip play and when you move on to the next song.

Can someone get bingo after just a few songs?

That is very rare. With 4×4, 50 players, the chance of a full row within 4 songs is less than 1%. The first full row usually comes after 13 songs. Want the first round to last longer? Let the clips play longer, or pick a bigger card.

Does the winner of round 1 have a head start in the next rounds?

A little, because that card already has one full row. Even so, someone else usually wins. With 4×4, 50 players, the card that wins round 1 also wins round 2 in 16 in 100 games. In the other 84, someone else wins. A random other card wins round 2 in 2 in 100 games. For the full card it is 6 in 100, versus 3 in 100 for a random other card. Want more people to win a prize? Then agree that anyone who already has a prize cannot win again.

What if two people have bingo at the same time?

Whoever calls bingo first wins. That is the person who recognized the song fastest and marked it off first. Mention this when you explain the rules, so it is clear to everyone. It happens more often than you think. With 4×4, 50 players, the chance that two or more players get bingo on the same song is 13% for the first row and 22% for the full card. Toward the end, many cards are one song short of full, which is why it happens most often with the full card.

We want several winners per round. Is that possible?

Yes. Keep playing a round until there are enough winners, or also give a prize to the second and third bingo. With 4×4, 50 players, for one row the 3rd bingo usually comes after 18 songs and the 5th after 20. For two rows that is after 29 and 31 songs, for the full card after 42 and 43. Other ideas: a prize for the first bingo at every table, or an extra round in between, for example for the four corners or a vertical row.

Which bingo card suits our group?

4×4 (48 songs) is the standard and suits almost any group, even hundreds of players. 5×5 (75 songs) is for a longer evening. The rounds take longer, even with a large group. 3×3 (27 songs) is for a short evening. A row has only 3 squares, so the bingos fall faster.

We have more cards than players. Does that matter?

No. Only the cards that are actually in play count. Choose the number of players above, not the number of cards you had made. Cards that stay in the box do not change the odds.

Are the bingos spread out across the room or across locations?

Yes, as spread out as the cards are. Every card has the same chance, so a table or location with more players has proportionally more chance of a winner. Nobody can decide in advance where the bingo will happen.

Does the playlist have to be on shuffle?

Yes. Play the Spotify playlist in regular shuffle mode, so the songs come in a random order. All the figures on this page are based on that. Do not use Smart Shuffle. It adds songs that are not in the playlist and not on the cards.

How is a theme bingo different from regular bingo?

In regular bingo you cross off numbers that are drawn. In a theme bingo every square holds a prompt, such as someone who has run a marathon. No numbers are drawn and you do not need a bingo cage. Players walk around, start a chat and look for someone who fits each square.

Which theme should I choose for my group?

Pick the theme that best fits the occasion, such as a team building day, bachelor party, birthday or family day. Not quite right? Choose the closest one and change the prompts when you order.

How much does a theme bingo cost?

A theme bingo starts at $11.95 for 5 cards. The total depends on the card size and the number of cards you choose. You pay once, there is no subscription.

Is there a bingo with numbers too?

Yes. You can order bingo cards with the numbers 1 to 75 from our page about bingo with numbers.

Which logo file format do you need?

Preferably an SVG, PDF or EPS. A sharp PNG with a transparent background works too. Send what you have and we will figure out what works best.

Can you use our own colors and typeface?

Yes. Send us your brand colors, preferably as HEX codes, and tell us which typeface you use. If that typeface is not free to use, we pick one that comes as close as possible.

How fast do we get the design, and can we still make changes?

Your draft design is in your inbox within 1 business day. Something not quite right? We will adjust it. Only when you are happy do you receive the final bingo cards.

Can we use a design by our own designer?

Yes. Send us your designer's artwork and we will turn it into your bingo cards. Good to know: the cards are A4 in portrait format.

What are the rules of bingo?

You draw a number and call it out. Is it on your card? Then you cross it off. The first to complete the goal of the round calls bingo. You usually play three rounds: one full line, two full lines and a full card. Tell the players the goal before each round.

What do I need to play bingo?

Every player needs their own bingo card and a pen, and you need a bingo cage to draw the numbers. No bingo cage? The email with your order links to letsplaybingo.io, a free online bingo caller for your TV, projector or laptop. Add a few nice prizes.

How fast do I get the bingo cards?

Can I use the bingo cards digitally?

Can I play bingo online via Teams or Zoom?

Yes. Order digital bingo cards and share the link with all players. Open the online bingo caller and share your screen in Microsoft Teams or Zoom, so everyone sees which number is drawn.

How often can I play the bingo?

You can use printed bingo cards as often as you like. With digital cards, the link stays active for one month.

What is a theme bingo?

A bingo without numbers. Every square holds a prompt, such as ‘someone who has run a marathon’ or ‘someone who has never flown’. Players walk around, start a conversation and find someone for every square. The first to complete a line or a full card calls bingo.

When do you play a theme bingo?

Whenever people need to get talking: a team outing or staff party, a wedding, a bachelorette party or the start of a kick-off. It breaks the ice and everyone gets to know each other.

How many people can play?

As many as you like. You choose how many unique cards you need when you order, one per player. Every card has its own mix of prompts.

Can I use my own prompts?

Yes. When you order, you can change the prompts of the theme, remove a few or write your own. Own prompts cost a supplement, which you see at checkout. Every card then gets its own mix of your prompts.

Have the player read out the prompt and the name of each square, and ask the person named whether it is true. The checklist, which you download on your order page, lists every prompt. Is a square wrong? Then everyone plays on.
