Ice Breaking Activity: Give Incentive for People to Interact

Most people want to connect at events, but they freeze up. Without a clear reason or structure, attendees stick to who they know, scroll their phones, or leave early. The missing piece is a real incentive to step outside their comfort zone.

⚠️

No Natural Reason to Start Talking

Walking up to a stranger feels awkward and forced. Without an incentive or structure, most people wait to be approached — and everyone ends up waiting.

⚠️

Phones Are the Easy Escape

When there's no reason to engage, attendees disappear into their phones. The energy drops, and networking opportunities vanish.

⚠️

Conversations Stay Surface-Level

Even when people do talk, they stick to safe, boring topics like 'What do you do?' — missing the chance to build real connections.

Display the QR code at your event

Put the Jam Bingo QR code on screens, signage, or printed handouts. One scan — and each attendee gets their own set of ice breaking games.

Common Questions About Jam Bingo

Does the game end when there is a winner?

Jam Bingo will not stop for everyone else when there is a winner. When someone completes all their prompts, their phone will show the place they finished in (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, etc).

How long does a game of Jam Bingo last?

The more prompts you add, the longer your Jam Bingo game will be. On average, it lasts anywhere from 10 minutes to over an hour. When you create a Jam Bingo game, it will give you an estimated duration based on your number of prompts.

Is there a limit on the number of participants?

There is no limit on the number of players who can join your game of Jam Bingo.

Can I customize the questions/prompts?

Yes, you can add your own prompts/questions to your Jam Bingo.
