What Is Get-to-Know-You Bingo?

Get-to-Know-You Bingo, also called Human Bingo or Mingle Bingo, is a social game where guests mingle to find others who match prompts on their bingo cards. Instead of numbers, each square features a fun fact or trait, like "Has the same favorite cake flavor as the birthday person" or "Loves to dance." Players ask questions, collect names or signatures, and aim to complete a row, column, or diagonal to shout "Bingo!" It's a perfect icebreaker for a birthday party, encouraging guests to break out of their shells and connect.

Jam Bingo takes this classic game digital, offering customizable prompts, QR code-based interactions, and a no-app-needed experience that works for in-person, virtual, or hybrid parties. According to JamSocial, their platform boosts attendee engagement by 90% and reduces "wallflower" attendees by 88%, making it a game-changer for creating a lively party atmosphere.
