I was recently asked to help organise a ‘music bingo’ for students of horseriding associationBLOK. To be completely honest with you, I feel that bingo isprobably one of the most boring party games out there as the only ‘skills’ involved are paying attentionand bookkeeping.
An exciting combination of music trivia and the classic game of BINGO! No boring numbers here, just one hit song after another as players listen, sing along and 'Play BINGO to the Music'. Nov 28, 2020 This printable Christmas music bingo game is perfect for all kinds of holiday gatherings - from the classroom to Christmas parties or even in the car, it's a fun game the entire family will enjoy. Here's how it works. Start with the Christmas Music Bingo set. You'll get 8 Bingo cards and 2 pages of clue cards (24 clues in all). Rock and Roll Bingo gives a new twist on bingo by replacing the standard bingo format with much-loved music clips. It's going down a storm! And is the fastest growing quiz game in the UK and now used by thousands of pubs, charities, PTA's and corporate clients around the country.
Music bingo, however, puts a nice twist to the original game that makes it morefun, exciting and skill-based. Music bingo is like regular bingo with some minor differences thatmake it just so much more fun. The first difference is in the bingo cards: these consist of a gridof cells like in regular bingo but each cell contains a song title instead of a number. Instead of drawing randomnumbers from a tumbler, songs are played from a (randomized) playlist. If a song is played, it can be marked on the card and once a player has five marked cells in a row, they shout ‘BINGO!’ and collect their prize.
In this blog post I will describe how to organise a music bingo. Some coding is required for now,but I might come back to this fun topic and create some tooling for non-tech-savvy music bingoenthusiasts. I might also delve a bit deeper into some mathematical properties of bingo (i.e.combinatorics and probabilities of getting a bingo etc).
My preparations for a music bingo consist of the following ingredients:
- A great playlist in Spotify
- Printable bingo cards
- A list to keep track of songs played so far
I will describe how I got to these ingredients and then add some additional suggestions to makeyour music bingo extra special.
Music Bingo Game
A fun evening of music bingo starts and ends with a great playlist. You can create a good musicbingo playlist by picking songs that most of your audience will know. You have to understand thatit’s quite frustrating to get ‘stuck’ on a song you feel is impossible to guess. In the end, thegame of bingo is mostly about the element of luck, even if you are playing music bingo. As some of your audience members will surely not know some of the songs, it helps to select songs in which the title is clearly embedded in the lyrics.
Besides choosing relatively ‘easy’ songs, you could consider a particular theme for your musicbingo event. What constitutes a suitable theme depends strongly on your audience. Since recognizing thesongs is the biggest fun factor in music bingo, I would suggest taking well-known songs of somebygone era. In my case, I was asked to create a music bingo night with a ’90s theme. Perfect! If you are curious, you can find the listhere.
Some additional hints regarding the playlist:
- Think about the length of the playlist up-front. The length of your playlist depends on twofactors: total event time and playtime per song. I found that about 30 seconds playtime per songis suitable. This means that you’ll have about 1 hour net playtime if you have 120 songs in yourplaylist. This is excluding time to verify bingos, introduce the game and prizes and breaks.
- make sure you deduplicate your playlist. There are online tools to do this for you, SpotifyDeduplicator for example.
- you can decide to curate the order of the playlist yourself or randomize it. If you randomizeit, I suggest storing the randomized playlist rather than playing the original playlist usingSpotify’s shuffle option. Having a preset order makes for easy verification of bingos during theevent. You can randomize your spotify playlist using a tool such as Spotify PlaylistRandomizer.
Finally, create an export of your playlist so that you can easily generate bingo cards. Again,many tools are available. I used Exportify to downloadthe randomized playlist.
After having created, randomized and exported the playlist, it’s time to generate some cards.I created a small python script to generate bingo cards in HTML. You can find the code on Github. It’s not great but it works.
In case you use my code, make sure to input the file using the following structure (tabs forillustration purpose only):
The
track_id
column contains random numbers. This helps in verifying bingos during the event.I added print-specific CSS styling to ensure that a single bingo card does not end up on two pagesin print. You can see how the bingo cards turn outhere.
During the event, many people will have a bingo at once. As you might not want to rely on your ownmemory for verifying which songs have been played already, it helps to have a list available tocheck off songs that have been played. You can simply create the export you have created before. Iadded an extra column to keep track of songs played so far
Use this list in Excel or OpenOffice and you’ll verify a bingo in no time. Use the auto-filter to quickly check whether the crossed of songs have actually been played.
That’s it! You’re all set to have a great bingo night.
You can get creative as well. Here are some ideas:

- Put the artist rather than song title on the card.
- If a song became well-known due to a movie, put the movie title on the card
- Put part of the lyrics on the card
- Mix it up and make cards with song titles, artist, album name, lyrics, movie titles etc.
The success of the bingo night depends on a good preparation.Here are some things to consider:
- How long are you gonna play the songs? I found that this depends per song: some are easilyrecognized while others are harder to guess or plain nice to sing along to. Overall, we playedsongs for about 30 seconds before skipping to the next song.
- Make sure you take enough time. As you need to play all songs for a while, you might not be ableto play as many games as you would be used to per hour.
- Some songs start very slowly. Skipping ahead helps here.
- Make sure to introduce the rules upfront. Especially, think about whether the use of asmartphone is allowed. Players can easily cheat by using song recognition apps such asSoundHound.
- Allow the audience to verify a bingo together, by announcing the songs that contributed to thereported bingo. Do so for both proper and faulty bingos.
Finally and most importantly: don’t forget to have fun :)
Customer testimonial:
East Village Bar & Restaurant, Cork
“We have been using Smile Music Bingo for about two years now. We took one of our midweek nights which was under performing and started Smile Music Bingo offering prizes & cash jackpot. This increased our footfall into the venue and also increasing the profitability of the night.
We played Smile Music Bingo all threw the christmas, weekly on Thursday nights and what can I say apart from the fact it seems Smile Music Bingo has done it again! Bar sales have increased and along with it footfall and we had more than 100 players every Thursday night!
I would just like to take the opportunity of thanking everyone at Smile Music Bingo for their support and to say I’m looking forward to the next 12 months”

We recommend a professional host to guarantee a high-quality event and a good atmosphere. But the software is designed with a build-in 'automated host' option where your Pubs staff can also arrange the events easily.

One round lasts about 20-30 minutes. Usually, one night has four rounds and lasts about two hours.
