What is the Social Bingo App?
The Social Bingo App is a simple, interactive icebreaker designed to help people actually talk to each other at events. Instead of standing around awkwardly, participants use their phones to find and connect with others who match fun prompts — making it easy to start conversations and learn more about the people around them.
The Social Bingo App makes it effortless for people to break out of their comfort zones, meet new faces, and turn small talk into meaningful conversations in a natural, low-pressure way.
How Does Social Bingo App Work?
Social Bingo 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:
- 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 Social Bingo 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.
- 1
Find someone who is standing or sitting solo. Introduce yourself and find out what brought them out tonight
- 2
Challenge someone to find three things you both have in common in under one minute
- 3
Find someone who is vibing just as hard to the same song as you. What is their name? What is the song?
- 4
Find someone who has met over 5 new people tonight, and ask them what's a small thing that made their day better recently
- 5
Find someone who is a business owner looking for more customers, and ask them what they're most proud of this year
- 6
Challenge someone to introduce you to someone they just met
- 7
