Social icebreaker
Bingo - find someone
A social icebreaker - participants tick off prompts as they find a matching person in the group, while you watch progress live.
What is the Bingo - find someone game?
Bingo - find someone is an icebreaker where participants walk around the room and look for people who match the prompts on their card ('find someone who…'). Each match ticks a square, and the goal is to collect a full set and call bingo.
You run the session from a library of ready-made or your own prompt templates. Participants join by scanning a QR code or typing a letter code, and you watch live how many players joined and how they're doing. You can set a time limit and check results in a report afterwards.
