Get to Know You Bingo Card App
The get to know you bingo card, rebuilt for phones: one prompt, one real conversation at a time.
Why Use a Get to Know You Bingo Card App
Paper get to know you bingo cards have to be designed, printed and handed out, and then guests rush through them. They collect signatures from their friends, fill in squares at their table, and never really get to know anyone. A get to know you bingo card app keeps the game but fixes how it's played.
Jam Bingo shows each guest one get to know you prompt at a time, like 'Find someone who has lived in another country.' They find someone who matches, have a real conversation, and scan that person's QR code to confirm it. That unlocks the next prompt. Each guest gets a different mix of prompts, so the room spreads out, and every connection is saved so guests can stay in touch after the event.
How Does Get to Know You Bingo Card App Work?
Get to Know You Bingo Card 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:
How is Jam Bingo Played?
Attendees scan the event’s Jam Bingo QR code (or enter the game code). It runs in the phone’s browser—there is no app to download.
How to Use the Get to Know You Bingo Card App at Your Event
The get to know you bingo card app helps the people at your event meet new people, not just the people they came with. Here’s how to use it:
- 01Step 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 Get to Know You Bingo Card 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. - 02Step 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. - 03Step 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. - 04Step 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. - 05Step 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.

Example Prompts for Get to Know You Bingo Card 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.
