Conversation Bingo App

Give every guest a prompt, a reason to say hi, and a real conversation. All from their phone.

What Is a Conversation Bingo App?

Conversation bingo is a get-to-know game where each prompt sends you to find someone and talk, like 'Find someone who has lived in another country and ask what they miss most.' A conversation bingo app moves the game onto everyone's phone, so there are no paper cards to print, no pens to hand out, and no crowd of people signing each other's sheets without actually talking.

Jam Bingo gives each guest one prompt at a time instead of a full card of squares. They find someone who matches, have the conversation, and scan each other's QR code to unlock the next prompt. Because everyone only sees one prompt, they focus on one real conversation instead of rushing to fill a grid. It runs in the browser, works for 10 to 1,000+ people, and saves every connection so guests can follow up after the event.

Step-by-step

How to Use the Conversation Bingo App at Your Event

The conversation bingo app helps the people at your event meet new people, not just the people they came with. Here’s how to use it:

01
Step 1
Decide How Many New People Each Person Meets
Create a Jam Bingo for your event and choose how many different people you'd like each person to talk with. That's the job of the Conversation Bingo App: getting people past the group they came with and into conversations with people they haven't met yet.
TipNot sure? Start with 5 people each - enough to get everyone past the group they came with.
02
Step 2
Add Conversation Prompts
Pick a ready-made template or write your own prompts. Each prompt gives people a reason to find someone new and a question to start the conversation.
TipKeep prompts about people, not trivia - "Find someone who…" sends people across the room to someone new.
03
Step 3
Display Your Jam Bingo QR Code
Put your Jam Bingo QR code on the big screen, at check-in, or on table cards. People scan it with their phone camera to join - no app to download.
TipExplain it once, in one line: scan, find someone who fits your prompt, talk, then scan each other's QR code.
04
Step 4
Let People Meet New People
Each person gets a conversation prompt, finds someone who fits it, and talks with them. Then they scan that person's QR code to get their next prompt and meet someone else.
TipGive it 20 to 45 minutes during a reception, break, or networking session.
05
Step 5
Everyone Leaves With Their Connections
Every connection is saved, so each person gets a list of the people they met - with the contact info they shared and the conversations they had.
TipRecognize the people who met the most new people at the end - it's an easy way to wrap up.

Inspiration

Example Prompts for Conversation Bingo App

Taken from the Social Mixer For Strangers 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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a conversation bingo app?

It's a digital version of conversation bingo. Guests get prompts on their phone that send them to find someone and talk, then scan to log the connection.

Do guests need to download an app?

No. Jam Bingo runs in the phone's browser. Guests scan the QR code with their camera and they're playing. If scanning doesn't work, every player has a number they can type in instead.

How is Jam Bingo different from a bingo card?

There's no grid. Each guest gets one prompt at a time, so they have one real conversation before moving on, instead of collecting quick signatures.

How long does a game last?

It depends on how many prompts you add. Most games run 20 to 30 minutes, and you can add more prompts for an hour or more.

What if a guest gets stuck on a prompt?

Turn on skips. The Skip button shows up after 60 seconds, so people try first but never get stuck.

Can I write my own prompts?

Yes. Write your own, pick from suggestions, or start from a template and edit it.
