Why Large Groups Need an Interactive Networking Game
At 100+ people, you can't walk around introducing everyone. Small-group icebreakers fall apart, speed networking needs a stopwatch and a lot of floor space, and open mingling turns into the usual cliques. An interactive networking game gives every guest a light mission, like 'Find someone who works in a field you know nothing about,' so the whole room starts moving at once.
Jam Bingo gives each guest one prompt at a time on their phone. They find a match, talk, and scan each other's QR codes to unlock the next prompt. Everyone plays at the same time, at their own pace, so it works the same for 100 guests as it does for 500. It still feels informal, because guests choose who to approach and how long to talk.
How Does Interactive Networking Game for Large Groups Work?
Interactive Networking Game for Large Groups 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:

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.

Example Prompts for Interactive Networking Game for Large Groups
Taken from the Meeting Professionals 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.
