What Is a Member Networking App?
Networking is one of the main reasons people join a professional association or chamber of commerce. But at most member events, people talk to the members they already know. A member networking app gives everyone a structured reason to meet someone new — and it proves the value of membership in a way members can feel.
Jam Bingo sends each member prompts like 'Find a member from an industry you've never worked in and ask what their biggest challenge is this year.' After each conversation, members scan each other's QR codes to unlock the next prompt, and they can share contact info. It works at AGMs, member mixers, and conferences, with nothing to download.
How Does Member Networking App Work?
Member Networking App runs on Jam Bingo—the simple, interactive networking activity. It is not a card, it has no squares, and attendees do not fill anything out. Here’s what each attendee does:
- 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
Get a conversation prompt
Each person receives a conversation prompt on their phone, like a question to ask someone new.
- 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
Repeat and connect
Every connection is saved, and the leaderboard shows who met the most new people—perfect for prizes.

Example Prompts for Member Networking App
Taken from the Club Member Mixer template. Use them as a starting point, then adapt them to your group.
Make people move
Start prompts with "Find someone who…" so each one sends players across the room to a new person, not back to their own table.
Mix easy and deeper prompts
Open with quick, observable prompts (something they're wearing, where they're from), then add a few that lead to a real story.
Keep them inclusive
Avoid prompts about money, looks, or anything someone could feel left out of. Everyone should be able to answer at least half of them.
Match the length of your event
Around 12–16 prompts fits a 30-minute game. More prompts than time just leaves people unfinished.
- 1
Find someone who joined the club this year and ask them what brought them here
- 2
Find someone who has been a member for more than five years and ask them what keeps them coming back
- 3
Find someone who sits on a different committee than you and ask them what they're working on
- 4
Find someone who brought a guest tonight and ask them how they know each other
- 5
Find someone who has a hobby nobody at the club knows about and ask them how they got into it
- 6
Find someone who grew up in a different city and ask them what they miss about it
- 7
Find someone who has a favorite club memory and ask them to tell you the story
- 8
Find someone who works in a completely different field than you and ask them what a normal day looks like
- 9
Find someone who has recruited a new member and ask them how they did it
