How the game works.
A quick tour of how photo bingo plays — and what you can configure for your event.
Bingo, the basics.
Every board is a 5×5 grid — 24 prompts plus a free center tile. Guests mark a tile by taking or uploading a photo that matches the prompt.
String enough marked tiles together into a winning shape and you score. No app, no login — just scan the QR and play.
Three ways to win.
Organizers choose which win conditions count toward their leaderboard. Guests can chase any of them.
Any complete row, column, or diagonal.
Two complete lines on the same board.
Every tile on the board marked.
Same board, or every board different.
Fixed
Every guest gets the same 24 prompts in the same positions. The whole crowd races on the same board, so cheers and groans land in unison.
Weddings, dinners, and small parties where guests compare boards and chase the same prompts together.
Random
Each guest gets a randomized 24 drawn from a larger pool you curate. Add more than 24 prompts and no two boards will match — bigger pool, more variety.
Long events like wedding receptions, open houses, and parties — hours of play where fresh boards keep guests engaged.
How the leaderboard scores.
First bingo
The first guest to win freezes the leaderboard at that moment. One sharp race, one clear winner — perfect for a single prize.
Short, competitive moments: a toast slot, a single grand prize, or a quick crowd-warmer.
Milestones
Guests climb a leaderboard that keeps moving — line, then double line, then blackout. Everyone can still chase a higher milestone as the night goes on.
Multi-hour events where you want guests engaged the whole time, with prizes at each milestone.
Who confirms the win.
Organizer approves
When a guest hits a winning shape, the win lands in a review queue. You confirm it before the leaderboard credits the score.
Prize events, formal weddings, or anything where the result needs to be checked before it counts.
Auto-approve
Wins are credited the instant the bingo is detected. The leaderboard updates immediately and the crowd reacts in real time.
Casual parties and laid-back events where speed and momentum matter more than formality.
Photo moderation, built in.
Every photo a guest uploads is screened by OpenAI's image moderation before it appears anywhere — on the guest's own board, in your event album, or on the spectator feed.
Inappropriate content is blocked automatically. Your crowd sees the celebration, not the risk.
