Jam Bingo—the simple & interactive networking activity for Executive Directors, HR Leaders & Corporate Event Planners.

  1. 01

    Jam Bingo is a simple, interactive networking activity that helps people meet and have conversations with others they may not know.

    1. 1

      Scan to join

      Attendees scan the event’s Jam Bingo QR code (or enter the game code). It runs in the phone’s browser—nothing to download.

    2. 2

      Get a conversation prompt

      Each person receives a conversation prompt on their phone, like a question to ask someone new.

    3. 3

      Find someone and talk

      They find someone who fits the prompt, have the conversation, then scan that person’s QR code (or enter their code) to unlock the next prompt.

    4. 4

      Repeat and connect

      Every connection is saved, and the leaderboard shows who met the most new people—perfect for prizes.

    Best timing

    Run it once everyone has arrived, 15–30 minutes into the networking block. If networking begins at 10:00 AM, kick off the activity at 10:30 AM to maximize participation and hold everyone's attention.

    Around meals

    Run the activity before people eat. Eating speeds vary, and running it after a meal can make slower eaters feel rushed or left out. If it has to be post-meal, announce clear timings in advance.

    Around drinks

    Let guests grab a drink on arrival, then gather everyone's attention cleanly right before the activity begins.

    Prizes & ideas

    Your dashboard shows a leaderboard of who met the most new people. Reward the top networkers with swag, gift cards or gifts—hand them out at the very end, once everyone has finished meeting new people.

    Before you begin

    Put the Jam Bingo QR code on your slides (or print it where everyone can see it), then give everyone 30 seconds to 1 minute to scan and join.

    While it's running

    Walk around the room and join in yourself. Give time updates if needed and keep the energy moving.
