Member Mixer Game for Clubs
Get club members out of their usual circle and talking to people they haven't met yet.
What Is a Member Mixer Game?
A member mixer game gives club members a reason to talk to someone outside their usual group. In most clubs, the same people sit together at every meeting, and newer members stay on the edges. A mixer game breaks that pattern with simple prompts that send each member to someone new.
With Jam Bingo, members scan a QR code and get prompts like 'Find someone who joined the club in a different year than you and ask what keeps them coming back.' After each conversation, they scan each other's QR codes to unlock the next prompt. It works for book clubs, running clubs, alumni chapters, Rotary and Lions clubs, and any social club — no app to download.

How to Use the Member Mixer Game at Your Event
The member mixer game 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 Member Mixer Game: 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 Member Mixer Game
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

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good mixer game for a social club?
A game that gives every member a small, specific reason to talk to someone new. Jam Bingo sends prompts to members' phones, like 'Find someone who joined the club this year and ask what brought them here,' and each conversation unlocks the next prompt.
Does it work for Rotary, Lions, or alumni clubs?
Yes. It works for any club where members don't all know each other. You write the prompts, so they can be about your club's service projects, history, or members' professions.
How do you get cliques in a club to mix?
Give people prompts they can't complete with their usual group, like prompts about years of membership, committees, or hometowns. The prompts send members to people outside their circle without anyone being told who to talk to.
Do members need an app?
No. Members scan a QR code with their phone camera and play in the browser with just their name.
How long does a club mixer game take?
Plan 20–30 minutes. That's enough time for each member to have several real conversations.
