If you have hosted a mixer, workshop, or networking event, you already know the awkward moment when people stand around not knowing who to talk to. Digital Get To Know You Bingo is an easy way to break that silence. It turns meeting new people into a simple, fun activity that anyone can join by scanning a QR code.
This idea is inspired by the posts on Human Bingo App and Digital Human Bingo from JamSocial.
What Is Digital Get To Know You Bingo
It is the digital version of classic Human Bingo. Instead of printing cards and handing out pens, everyone joins the game on their phone.
- Here is how it works:
- • Display a QR code at your event.
- • People scan it to open their digital bingo card.
- • Each square has a fun get-to-know-you prompt.
- • Attendees talk to each other, find people who match each prompt, and scan each other’s QR code to unlock the next prompt.
- A modern icebreaker without the paper clutter.
Why Digital Is Better Than Paper
Traditional Human Bingo is fun, but it takes work. You need templates, printers, pens, and enough copies for everyone. Digital removes all the busywork.
As the article on Human Bingo App explains, paper versions add friction before the event even starts.
- Digital bingo solves that:
- • No printing
- • No paper waste
- • No distribution issues
- • People use their own phones
- • Fast setup with a simple QR code
The breakdown on Digital Human Bingo also shows how digital versions scale better for large events and keep the experience clean and simple.
Perfect For Get To Know You Events
Whether you are hosting a professional mixer, a university meet-and-greet, a workshop, or a casual social night, digital bingo makes meeting people feel natural.
- A few reasons it works well:
- • It gives purpose to conversations
- • It helps introverts start chats
- • Prompts spark real stories
- • People meet more than just two or three attendees
- • Larger groups become easier to navigate
If you want to dig deeper, the article on Digital Human Bingo explains how conversation prompts create stronger engagement than simple small talk.
