Jam Bingo is a digital icebreaker game that encourages people to socialize, share stories, and build real connections in the room. It transforms awkward networking into a playful, guided activity where attendees approach others to complete fun prompts on their phones.

What makes Slido cool is that it’s simple and straightforward to use, there’s a question on display and as a participant I click a button to share my option.

What makes Jam Bingo great is that it pushes people to interact directly with each other, sparking genuine conversations and helping attendees learn interesting things about one another.
