Icebreaker ideas for a dating mixer. We hosted one recently, and the main challenge was figuring out how to make it fun and engaging so people would actually talk to each other.

TL;DR - Jam Bingo by JamSocial.

We’ll share about our recent Christian dating mixer and what we did to get everyone talking, especially for our introverted attendees in the room.

Jam Bingo is human bingo with a twist 🌪️

If you’ve ever had to set up a Human Bingo Icebreaker for an event, you know it takes prep and setup time, and for a larger event, it can be a lot of work. With Jam Bingo (Digital Human Bingo) there’s no hassle or preparation involved. Attendees just use their phones to jump right into the game.

Jam Bingo is one of the top networking games for Dating Mixers especially for sparking conversations among introverted attendees.

Jam Bingo is a Networking Bingo Card with QR Code, where attendees scan a QR code to get a prompt on their phone. Prompts like: “Ask someone to name a couple they admire and why.”

Attendees move around the room looking for others who can answer their questions. Each time they find someone, they scan a QR code to reveal the next prompt, aiming to complete them all by the end.

What is the benefit of gamifying your Dating Mixer? There are a few:

In Montreal, QC, a church hosted a workshop on Love and Relationships, and as part of the series, they organized a Dating Mixer to help attendees connect.

The organizers wanted fun, easy activities that weren’t cringe to help people ease into conversations. They had used paper bingo cards for networking in the past, but with about 50 people attending this time, they wanted something fresh and engaging that would get everyone, including the introverted attendees, talking.

They decided to go with Jam Bingo, a blend of Human Bingo that felt familiar while also sparking conversations. They could include prompts like: “Challenge someone to describe their ideal date in one sentence or five words” or “Find someone wearing something colored and ask them ‘What’s something simple that’s brought you joy lately?’”

Jam Bingo was exactly what they were looking for to actually get their attendees talking, and allowed them to add custom questions especially about the topic of the event, Love and Relationships.

We created a Jam Bingo Prompt Generator Which you can use to generate question ideas for your mixer. You can also find existing questions on the Human Bingo Questions For Dating Mixer.
