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 Does Member Mixer Game Work?
Member Mixer Game 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 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
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
- 10
Find someone who has an idea for the club's next event and ask them what it is
- 11

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.
