WHAT IS MUSIC BINGO?
Music Bingo combines the fun of music recognition with the excitement of bingo. Instead of numbers being called, songs play through your speakers. Players listen, identify the song on their card, and mark it off. The first player to complete the round's win pattern calls bingo and wins. With 4 rounds of different categories and increasing difficulty, Music Bingo keeps the whole room engaged from start to finish.
SAMPLE CATEGORIES
Just a small sampling of the preset categories your host can choose from — and because the songs are shuffled every single time, no two games are ever the same.
WHY VENUES LOVE IT
Owners and GMs book Music Bingo for one reason: it fills a slow night without adding a single task to anyone's plate.
- Your Host Handles Everything
- An Epic Trivia host arrives with the laptop, the music, the display and the pre-printed cards, runs the night on the mic, and packs up when it is over. Your staff keeps doing what they always do.
- Fills Your Slowest Nights
- Music Bingo turns a dead Tuesday or Wednesday into a reason to come in. Players arrive early to get a table, stay through four rounds, and keep ordering between songs — longer visits and bigger tabs on the night you need it most.
- Regulars, Not One-Offs
- Music Bingo night becomes a standing date. The same teams come back week after week and bring friends, so the room builds instead of resetting every week.
- A New Crowd
- Music Bingo attracts people who might not come for traditional trivia — music lovers, casual players, and bingo fans.
- Phones Or Printed Cards
- Players choose: scan the QR code and mark their cards digitally on their phones, or play old school with the pre-printed cards your host hands out. Digital play relies on cellular or Wi-Fi signal at your venue — if the signal is weak, everyone plays on paper and the night runs exactly the same.
- No Two Games Alike
- Songs are shuffled for every game. With 4 rounds and different categories each time, players never get the same experience twice.
- Printable Cards
- Your host shows up with the cards already printed and ready to hand out to your patrons — a single 8.5" x 11" sheet holding all 4 rounds. Your manager or GM does nothing: no printing, no supplies, no setup. The game just works.
- Pre-Downloaded Music
- Your host pre-downloads every song and card before they arrive, so nothing streams over your bar or restaurant Wi-Fi and spotty internet can never slow the night down. Internet is only needed if players want their cards on their phones — otherwise the night runs on the printed cards.
WHAT YOU PROVIDE
Adding Music Bingo is about as easy as it gets. Here is the entire list of what we need from you \u2014 your host covers everything else.
- A Night On The Calendar
- Pick the night you want to build — usually a slower weeknight — and we lock it in as a recurring event.
- A TV And A Little Space
- One screen the room can see and a spot for the host to set up. If you have a TV and an outlet, you are ready.
- Prizes For The Winners
- A gift card, a round of drinks, an appetizer, or house swag for each round’s winner. Small prizes keep the room competitive — and most of them come right back to you as a tab.
- The Host Fee
- One flat rate for the night, quoted up front by your local host. No equipment to buy, no software, no contracts to chase.
WIN METHODS
You pick the win method for every round while you're setting up the game — mix them up, or run the same pattern all night. It's your call.
As you build the game, each of the four rounds gets its own win method chosen from a full menu: 1 Line, Blackout, X, +, 4 Corners and more. Most hosts ramp the difficulty up round by round, but nothing stops you from opening with a blackout.
1 Line
Any horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of 5 squares. The easiest win — a great way to open the night.
X
Both diagonals completed, forming an X. The center FREE space counts.
+
The center row and center column filled in, making a plus sign.
4 Corners
Just the four corner squares — fast, and it can end in a hurry.
2 Lines
Any two complete lines. They can cross each other.
Blackout
Every square on the card marked. The hardest win, and the loudest finish.
