Bingo where the fields are tasks, not numbers.
How Social Bingo works
- Quests instead of terms
Every field is a small social task — from meeting someone to a group challenge.
- Phases steer the flow
Spark (1:1), Link (in pairs), Bridge (bring in a third), Squad (4–6), Anchor (lasting contacts).
- Export & play
Print unique variants or optionally share via QR — pay-per-export, no subscription.

The essentials at a glance
The terms you'll find on every Mingo card.
Quest
A small social task on a bingo field — e.g. meeting someone or taking a group photo.
Spark
First phase: 1:1 contact, light conversation starters between strangers.
Link
Second phase: tasks in pairs — creating shared moments.
Bridge
Third phase: bring in another person, connect groups.
Squad
Fourth phase: groups of 4–6 people with shared challenges.
Anchor
Fifth phase: optional follow-up contacts — swap details, arrange to meet.
Variant
A bingo card with the same quests but a different arrangement — so not everyone plays the same order.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference from normal bingo?
Normal bingo uses random terms. Social Bingo uses social quests that spark conversations and encounters.
What do Spark, Link, Bridge, Squad and Anchor mean?
They're social phases: from first contact (Spark) through pairs and groups to optional follow-up contacts (Anchor).
Which events is Social Bingo good for?
Birthdays, weddings, festivals, corporate events, community gatherings — anywhere guests should connect.
Do I have to use AI?
No. Templates and manual writing are enough. AI helps you quickly generate new quests.
How many variants do I need?
Rule of thumb: as many unique cards as guests playing at the same time. Mingo exports 10–40 variants.
Is Social Bingo child-friendly?
Templates are designed for adults. Quests can be adapted individually for family parties.

Classic bingo with numbers or words fills a few minutes at most — and rarely sparks real conversations. Social Bingo relies on quests: concrete mini-tasks that get guests to meet, experience something together or connect groups.

Mingo shuffles quests into phases — from light 1:1 contact (Spark) to optional follow-up networking (Anchor). Social depth grows over the evening without anyone having to host.
