From Awkward to Awesome: Speed Friending with Jam Bingo

The app that breaks the ice, so you don't have to.

The Best Way to Help People Make Friends at Your Next Speed Friending Event

Forget awkward paper scorecards and missed connections. The best idea is to use a tool that handles the logistics for you, so your guests can focus on what really matters: making real friends.

😞 Awkwardness for Introverts

Without structure, conversations can stall. Not everyone is a natural at small talk, leading to uncomfortable silences that prevent friendships from forming.

The Better Idea: Jam Bingo for Speed Friending

Jam Bingo automates the entire event. It’s a digital wingman that manages time, provides conversation starters, and—most importantly—digitally exchanges contact information with permission. It turns a chaotic mixer into a smooth, friend-making machine.

How It Works: Friendship Made Simple

  • 1. Scan to Join: Guests scan a QR code to instantly join on their own phones. No apps to download.
  • 2. Guided Conversations: The app times each round and provides fun, new questions to spark great talks.

  • 3. Tap to Connect: After a great chat, guests simply scan each other's phone screens to digitally 'match'.
  • 4. Automatic Friends List: After the event, everyone gets a private list of their matches and contact info to continue the conversation. The connection doesn't end when the event does.

You Get a Memorable Event, They Get New Friends

You’ll host a flawlessly run event that people remember. Your guests will leave with actual, digitized connections and the confidence to follow up. It’s a win-win.
