• 📅 Day of your event📅

• Your guests and attendees walk around with their sheet of paper and a pen, mingling.

If you have a larger group of guests and attendees, it can be a hassle to prep and run People Bingo. There is a digital version where attendees simply scan a QR code to play, called [Jam Bingo](thejamsocial.com/bingo).

Jam Bingo is the Digital People Bingo Icebreaker.

Setting up Jam Bingo the modern way:

• You can create a Jam Bingo in one minute or less.
• You can customize it with your event title, questions, and brand colors.
• 📅 Day of your event📅
• Display your Jam Bingo QR code on a screen or print out a few to place around the room.
• Make an announcement explaining how to play Jam Bingo.
• • A tutorial plays once people scan the Jam Bingo QR code, and the interface is intuitive and simple.
• Your guests and attendees walk around with their phones, turning something that used to cause distraction and disengagement into a tool for facilitating connections.

It depends on your preference, the number of guests and attendees, and the overall atmosphere you want. Do you want something unique and easy to play with Jam Bingo, or do you want to handle the prep and logistics of Paper People Bingo for your event?

• Helping guests and attendees get engaged and connect with each other
• It reduces cliquey behavior at events and gives even introverted attendees a chance to connect with others.

• The Lifesaver / alternative to Paper People Bingo.
• If you have used Paper Bingo for a large group, you will understand when I say Jam Bingo is a lifesaver.
