What Is QR Code Find Someone Bingo?

QR Code Find Someone Bingo is the classic 'Find Someone Who' icebreaker, made instant and paperless. You generate a QR code. Attendees scan it with their phone cameras. They get conversation prompts on their phone and start finding people who match. That's it. No printing. Just scan, mingle, and connect.

The barrier to any icebreaker is friction. QR Code Find Someone Bingo removes all of it. Attendees don't need instructions, don't need to download anything, and don't need to figure out what to say. They scan, see prompts, and start talking. Events using QR code icebreakers see 3-5x higher participation than paper alternatives — because there's nothing standing in the way.

How it works

How Does QR Code Find Someone Bingo Work?

QR Code Find Someone Bingo 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. 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. 2

    Get a conversation prompt

    Each person receives a conversation prompt on their phone, like a question to ask someone new.

  3. 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. 4

    Repeat and connect

    Every connection is saved, and the leaderboard shows who met the most new people—perfect for prizes.

Example Prompts for QR Code Find Someone Bingo

Taken from the University Supply Chain Networking Event 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. 1

    Challenge someone to introduce you to the last person they met

  2. 2

    Find someone who isn't talking to anyone and ask them what they're passionate about outside of work and study

  3. 3

    Challenge someone to find three things you both have in common in terms of professional field within one minute

  4. 4

    Find someone who is standing or sitting solo. Introduce yourself and find out what brought them out today

  5. 5

    Find someone in a different year of study and ask for their best university advice
