You will receive two BINGO cards for each one dollar ($1) donated towards this event.  We will play as many games as we can during the event (10 games max) and you can play as many cards as you wish during each game.  Bingo cards can played in consecutive games until you BINGO. The card that you BINGO on cannot be played in games going forward.

BINGO Game Rules

  1. The caller will pick one letter-number combination ball out at a time and announce it to the players. We will post the letter-numbers in the Zoom chat area so you can verify calls, so make sure that you open the chat window via the chat button at the bottom of the Zoom window.  We will wait 5-10 seconds between calls, so be ready to be quick!
  2. If the announced letter-number combination matches one on your cards, you mark it.  Cards must be clearly marked with the numbers called.
  3. If a player marks all 4 corners or 5 letter-number combinations in a row either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally they shout out “BINGO!” The center square is free and considered already marked.
  4. You will need to show your card in your camera so it can be verified by an official to win a prize! At the end of the Zoom meeting, please email it to us at kzemler@twu.edu.
  5. We will play for 1 hour or 10 games at each session, whichever comes first.
  6. For the last game, we will play until all remaining BINGO prizes are given away even if it goes over the end game time.
  7. All participants agree to the Terms & Conditions posted on our website.

BINGO Etiquette

  • Keep your mic muted while playing until you have a BINGO.  We will mute mics if we see them unmuted for extended time periods.
  • Be sure you have a BINGO before announcing it.  Then, unmute your mic to announce BINGO!
  • Don’t request a repeat of called letter-numbers. You can check the chat area to prior numbers called.
  • Control your emotions.
