Give Incentive for People to Interact
Icebreaking games to incentivize people to interact and have meaningful conversations with each other.
What makes it a challenge?
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.

How to Give Incentive for People to Interact With Jam Bingo
Four simple steps: Give Incentive for People to Interact!
Choose conversation prompts that reward interaction
Think: 'Find someone wearing the same shoe color as you' or 'Ask someone what they'd do if they won a lottery tomorrow.' These give incentive for people to interact because the task is specific, easy, and a little playful.
Create your Jam Bingo game
Add 9–12 conversation challenges. Each challenge requires talking to a new person. You can use our templates or customize based on your event goals.
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.
Watch people actually start talking
Attendees scan, get their first prompt, and immediately have a reason to approach someone. The game structure gives incentive for people to interact — so you don't have to play cruise director all night.
